jornwhite: In other words, you want government to bail out HiTV... The problem with HiTV was that it could not build its subscriber base well. Apart from football, it had very limited and weak offerings. It's Nollywood channels?? Weak. Its religion offerings ? One christian channel...at a time when DSTV had 3 channels for protestants, and one for catholics, and 2 muslim channels. Infotainment? Two, when DSTV had 4 or 5. HiTV was just not building its subscriber base. You want government to pour money down a company that was not viable in the name of cheap subscripotion rate for football? A company that was struggling to pay the loan it took for the Premier League rights?? You want government to pay billions of naira so that less than 500000 people at the time could watch champions league? When billions don't even have the electric power or television to watch the thing?Plus on top of that pay back the loan? Premier league rights are expensive. Keep that in mind, and maybe you will get why your idea does not work. 2 Likes |

For me instead of ending their monopoly, they should insist on pay as you watch. It can be very frustrating to pay for one month's subscription and end up not watching it because of the poor state of electricity in the country. Also, they should create enabling environment for New investors into the sector |

kikero:2000 per movie view abi oloriburuku ni e ni? I have been reading your comments all I deduced from your defence of DSTV is that you are either a paid agent or a south African benefiting one way or the other, cos I don't know why a reasonable person going through the hardship of paying 10k and not watching up to 72hours, yet someone somewhere is telling us we are paying less and we should not complain. If paying what others are paying in Africa is what we make us get ppv we are ready abeg 1 Like |

danieldinho: They don't. Cable tv is expensive. That's why many Nigerians living abroad don't have cable. (Someone I knew migrated to the US. I doubt that person has the US equivalent of DSTV up till now. It costs money). And that's why most Nigerians don't have cable. Myself, if I really wanted, I would have dumped my DSTV subscription since.It costs me money. It's just that there are some channels I like there...like Discovery, Investigation discovery and the crime channels.(and history channel when it made sense). plus news channels. and sports. |

heniford2: How many Nigerians spend 7-15k on DSTV sub every month? Majority of subscribers go for the 2-5k package on DStv and gotv, where there are no reasonable sport channels. Take sport away from DStv, these subscribers will remain loyal. 3 Likes |

Daddysidhan: LOL....it is because you don't get how pay per view works. If you did, you would see why no company wants to bring it to Nigeria. Other African countries pay much higher than we do per package. We pay the cheapest rate in Africa. For more on how Pay per view works and why it would be expensive see this PM News article from 2015. Infact until a few months ago, I used to think that South Africa did pay per view , until I did the research. P.S I work in the medical field. DSTV has no use for people like me.I am not their agent too. 3 Likes |

COMPAQ: To be honest, I wanted TSTV to succed...I was even flirting with the idea of getting it...until I read more and backed away. The guy could not afford to even bid for half of the premier league rights. That's why he went into piracy. (Going into business without money, haba). In England, Sky was the sole rights owner of EPL matches, until BT got some money and got half the games. BBC too got some matches as well (for the first time in 30 years) 1 Like |

peterdrock001: If you use pay as you watch, you will end up paying higher than the current system. In brief, DSTV negotiates payment for contents by channels. As a result, they pay a set price. On a pay as you watch system, you would be paying per content you watch. So, for example, you would be paying for one episode of your favourite series, or one football match... Which could, in principle, mean you pay as much as N20000 or more per month...because content is not cheap. That's why we have a packages system. Not only in Nigeria, all over Africa. It's cheaper. 1 Like |

heniford2:A market with 1000 people selling goods at 1 naira and a market with 500 people selling at 2 naira who's more profitable. Remember operating costs in RSA is cheaper than operating costs in NG. Lets use the education sector in NG as example, do you think the universities here are expensive? The quality of service you get shouldn't be compared to that of ZA except our government is straight forward. Even if dstv decides not to buy exclusive rights wich tv network do you think we'll be able to pay and still deliver quality service 2 Likes |

Baawahala: There are alternatives like Startimes. You can swtich to them. They are much cheaper, and they offer football self.(Europa plus Bundesliga). Or if you have the money, set up your own alternative. The truth is, Multichoice is the only one in town (not really) because apart from Startimes, no one else has the cash to compete with them. HiTV and TSTV lost out because their offerings apart from football were very weak. 3 Likes |

yinkus6750: Yeye DSTV, these south African coys always ripping Nigerians off. That is how MTN initially claimed that per second billing was impossible until Glo came and introduced PSB as USP, there forcing MTN to reconfigure there system to support PSB. Now DSTV is saying PAYG is not possible for Nigeria market because of lack of competition. There business strategy must change otherwise with time their market share will reduce seriously. |
