SlyCharlie: My bro I don see where many guys nearly panel beat an installer. During those days when Qsat was still very hot. See as men just seat down for living room dey Wait for the installation to be complete. Before then, the installer mouth dey wide reach back as they where asking him about the possibility of all the matches they intend watching that day. Long story short. My guy on decoder, put simcard, move to sport station. Channel nor open, time dey go, still channel nor open. The client provoke, na so other guys for the house buy the matter, when dey hear how much the client spend yet the reason behind the money spent was not visible. Fortunately for the installer, it was my neighborhood, so I had to quickly rush to my house to get my Dstv to enable them watch the match for that day. Just to pacify the situation. Meanwhile the installer don already collect some hot slap, from two die hard football fans in the house. Each time I remember such a day, I choose my words carefully when Making input on live sports. 5 Likes |

Digitizedman:Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah...... Omor, the days of Qsat, Azsky, Tcam, many Intallers hear am to be honest. Well, in the South and South East, what was invogue was Sunwin Decoders that was used to decrypt the signals of local cable operators pirating ART prime Sports, Show Sports, Star World and Co from the middle East. It was just a terrestrial decoder with antenna receiving more than. 30 premium channels from the middle East, no hassles, no dish, no network wahala. all that changed with the shift from analogue to digital though. It lasted for more than 7years, watching premium channels for absolutely nothing. (illegally) i was shocked to later hear that people in Lagos and the west didn't even experience this. Well time flies. |

SlyCharlie: My guy nor be small thing back then, imagine someone calling your phone close to twelve midnight. You go even think say him get better thing to discuss. Only for him to say " this my decoder just stopped working while I was watching it " jeez I provoke.. Then I replied with sleeping voice but yet annoyance in my voice " are you paying for subscription ? He said no. Then I replied why are you complaining after using only 5k to enjoy those stations for more than six months. For what people pay huge amount to watch? The guy silent. Funny enough, a friend back then, told me how someone was stupid enough to call D...tv customer care number. Asking them Why his azsky was not working. My bro that one off me, I nearly hit my car for pole. Because it was too hilarious to imagine how that call went between the guy and the customer care agent. Lol!! 1 Like |

I have the choice of choosing between a regular Dstv Decoder and A HD Dstv Decoder. I like to be educated about the difference between both. Someone is offering me an HD Decoder but I've never used it before unlike the regular Dstv decoder I'm accustomed to. I like to know the difference between the two Please educate me |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by adubam(m): 4:35pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
RedPanthar: HD Decoder is High Definition Decoder and usually has an HDMI interface which display in picture and sound up to 1080p and has a better picture quality than the Regular SD decoder. With HD Decoder you can watch mpeg 2 to Mpeg 4 content while SD decoders are limited to SD or Mpeg 2 to 4 contents and can't display HD content s. |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by SlyCharlie(m): 4:38pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
RedPanthar:The HD Decoder gives crisp clear images and most channels are in Full HD 1080p. It's better |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by RedPanthar: 4:46pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
adubam: Wow. Thanks. I'm buying it first thing tomorrow. Thanks for the information Thanks alot for educating me |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Digitizedman: 4:46pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
RedPanthar: If by regular you mean those silver coloured type, Or the type that does not have an HDMI port at the back? If yes.. Then one major difference between what you are used to and the HD type. Is that the hd type gives you a more clearer picture quality when connected to your TV, through the HDMI port at the back of the decoder. simply put, with the HD decoder you have the ability to Watch Dstv channels in HD video format.. Which is clearer, as against your regular Dstv decoder ( silver coloured type/ none hdmi port at the back) which you are only limited to watching the channels in SD video format. Because it's only Av enabled from factory. |

Digitizedman: I find this immensely resourceful. I was offered to purchase a dark coloured HD Decoder. With the professional breakdown and analysis I've received so far, I'm definitely getting it I really appreciate the time you spent in attending to my request Thanks alot |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Digitizedman: 4:52pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
RedPanthar: I forgot to add that the Hd type, scans faster when compared to the old type. You can imagine how long it takes for regular decoders (old type to scan) .. Well the HD type kind of accelerated that process |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by RedPanthar: 4:54pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
Digitizedman: That's true. Hahahahahahahahaha I recall how pained I felt at the slow scamming process of my previous decoders |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Digitizedman: 4:57pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
RedPanthar: Yeah Yeah. It can be so annoying, especially when you are trying to catch up to a particular scene. If the decoder went off for any reason. |
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by RedPanthar: 5:00pm On Oct 11, 2020 |

Digitizedman: My Brother Happy Sunday. Today I tried all I could to get the MBC West to no avail. The best I saw is a red flash of 10%. I have given up! Maybe, MBC West is not possible in my area. In the process I even lost Hi-Impact TV that I had. Before I climbed up, I had 13 channels but ended up with with 11 channels. Thanks for your efforts. My regards. |
