Spyker:
Until they start pay per view as it is in UK, all these measures are still on the high side.

If you are going to pay to watch just arsenal vs Barcelona last night you might as well pay a month subscription going by pay per view rate.

Do you know how much it cost in UK ?

They sent a message to me yesterday in that regard

Mcowubaba:
I have read all the comments so far, but nobody has confirmed it.

Has anybody subscribed for the 6K 'football madness' nd was it what you were expecting
Let us know!!! DSTV wey dey greedy nd stingy like craze, their Customer call center is not even toll free, yet the will be telling u to press 1, press 3, hold 5, call ur smart card no for my credit.

Confirmed.
I am actually on Compact bouquet. I first noticed the additional channels; SS11 and SS12 showing 'coming soon' over the weekend, then started getting SMS about the channels going live on 23rd Feb, and then yesterday they went LIVE!
So altogether on Compact now, you have SS9, SS11, SS12, Select1, and Select2

#Caveat: It doesn't include Champions League matches oo. But full EPL and La Liga matches on compact is a great bargain though.

caprini1:
No its not,all stake holders of multichoice just had a meeting at Abuja last week on this,soon calling their customers service will be toll free too.

Stakeholders or shareholders?

adahib:
This is plausible but I still have a few questions

1) what happens to champion's league, Europa league, bundesliga,etc?

2) how long will this last given that it's a promo? Is it permanent or after a month or two,things will return to how they were

Until I'm certain, I think I'll stick with my CANtv were I watch all the matches at 3150 monthly . Dstv messed up seriously last year. It will take a lot for me to go back to them.

Pls, which one is Can TV and how can I get it

caprini1:
Dear Dealer, the DSTV "FOOTBALL MADNESS" PROMO kicks off tomorrow. Decoder + ALL + Compact = N12,500. Explora + Compact = N30,000. Explora + premium = N40,000. All matches on LA LIGA, EPL, and EURO 2016 will come LIVE on Compact bouquet. Join the "madness". Happy selling. 07088842345/08034137670.

Since dey called it a promo, means it wld end abi? Wen is d end date of d so called promo? Or will all EPL & LA Liga matches be free forever on Compact Package?

eleko1:
Nonsense ! It should be Pay as u watch.What about us that leave home @ 4.00 AM and come back @ 10 PM or those who nor get light ?

Oga, u dey try. 4am to 10pm?
Now, that's wht they call stress.
U're living for the outter world.
Dnt get me wrong. Imagine u're married with kids. Will ur kids b able to identify u as dia dad?
E.g: 4am, they'll stil be sleeping & u're off to work. 10pm, they must hav gone to bed b4 u return.
Anyways, it's the situation of the country. Probably, u're leaving early to beat traffic.

Femich18:


Interesting..but why are pple here not patronizing dem since its cheaper...

Its maybe because d sport channels are arabic. Only one is in english

caprini1:

afoobabs:
it is still expensive why cant they adopt prepaid like NEPA and mobile networks so as to put a full stop to the consumer exploitation
#Dstvscams

Our network providers should follow also, I can't imagine subscribing 3k at the end of the month my Data will just disappear, it's my money I should be able to consume my Data when am pleased...it's annoying

its real folks, just checked their website

http://www.dstv.com/en-ng/news/epl-la-liga-euro-2016-on-dstv-compact-6-20160223?utm_source=billboard&utm_medium=click-to-website&utm_campaign=compact-BPL_La_Liga_Euro_2016_Compact_Nigeria&utm_term=content&utm_content=BPLLaLigaCompactNigeria

LEADING pay-TV platform, DSTV, has announced that subscribers on its Compact and Compact Plus bouquets will, from today, be able to watch the full complement of football matches from the world’s most prestigious leagues-the Barclays Premier League (EPL) and La Liga, as well as the European Championship (Euro 2016).

The matches of these leagues and Euro 2016 would be available to DStv Compact subscribers in High Definition and at no extra cost. Previously, the full football package was available to only DStv Premium subscribers on its SuperSport channels.

Explaining why DStv was providing a full football menu for Compact subscribers, Mr. John Ugbe, Managing DIrector, MultiChoice Nigeria, said: “One of MultiChoice’s key priorities is to put our subscribers’ needs at the heart of everything we do and since these have been tough economic times for everyone, we realised that our subscribers could use some good news. We’re excited that we can now deliver the best football action in the world to our Compact subscribers, while ensuring that this development doesn’t negatively impact them financially.”

Ugbe also explained that Euro 2016 matches have been made available to Compact subscribers as part of MultiChoice Africa’s ongoing efforts to improve its products and offering.

Also, MultiChoice Nigeria announced a price slash on Explora and Zapper decoders bundled with the Compact bouquet. The Explora, dish kit with one month Compact subscription, initially sold at N71,000, has been reduced by more than 50% to N30,000; while the DStv Zapper decoder, dish kit plus one month Compact subscription will now be sold at N12,500 as against the previous price of N18,500. The offer which is valid while stocks last further reiterates MultiChoice’s commitment to provide Nigerians with quality entertainment they can afford.

Football fans on Compact and Compact Plus can tune to two new channels: SuperSport 11 (DStv channel 231) and SuperSport 12 (DStv channel 232), which will be dedicated to the EPL and La Liga.

This means that all Compact subscribers will now have access to the biggest games of the season, including the blockbuster clash between Arsenal and Manchester United billed for 28 February. The match will be broadcast on SS11.

On 27 February, Compact subscribers can watch the Madrid derby featuring Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid and the next day watch Barcelona take on Sevilla.

The greatest club rivalry in the world will be available for viewing on SS12-the home of La Liga-on 3 April, when Barcelona’s dazzling trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez will meet Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo in the first El Clasico derby of 2016 at Barça’s Camp Nou.

Three days later, Valencia will take on Atletico Madrid.

Compact subscribers can also catch other exciting La Liga matches plus highlights, magazine programming, pre-match discussions and panel shows on SS12.

Last July, MultiChoice revamped its DStv Compact bouquet to include over 95 world class channels at a monthly subscription of N6,000. Some of the new channels include AfricaMagic Igbo, AfricaMagic Urban, BBC Brit, CBeebies, Eva, M-City and Zee World.

beamed:
It's true guys. Just paid for two explorers. One for my friend and one for myself. Once I get out of their I'm upgrading to extra view. Price in my opinion is very good and affordable when you consider what explorer can do.

I never said I doubted you. I only said the source was not exactly valid. And that is what it is! Now you have provided a better source, but the best source should come from DSTV Compact users.

they have been scaming nigeria since time immemorial. Back to back from Nepa to Mobile network provider and Dstv. We ar paying for services we do nt enjoy by fire by force

cecegorz:

Oluwa bless you jare!

beamed:


Applause, applause. Got no issue with your smartness. Just trying to see it from another perspective. I also want to assume you don't put the rest of the family into consideration when you watch alone on your tab.

Summary is, it's a world of choices. Subscription is a bit on the high side I agree but I wonder why those who once had this right couldn't stand the test of time.

You go into business to make profit and better peoples life especially your employees.

To most people, it should be free. NTA, AIT and others are free but what are we fed with ? Just saying ...

stop trying to start irrelevant arguement. If there is no power, you won't be able to watch dstv anyway, so what is with the family consideration you are talking about.

Besides, my family can gather round and watch with me, tablet screen is big enough for us.

They are in business to make profit and I'm not patronising them anymore cos I have better option. Simple.

Chazzyboy:
but u pay for internet why say free

cos I was gonna pay for internet anyway.

Lol. Guy, you want to enjoy everything at lower cost?
If they drop everything on Compact, what will be on Premium again? UCL, FA cups and the likes are still reserved for SS3, SS5, and SS7 on Premium.
Ch200 is Blitz, that's the basic sports channel for all bouquets.

Meanwhile for guys that Subscribed in February before expiration, March is completely FREE!
