Has anybody heard of the digital cable antenna? I saw one the other day. It's capable of recieving feeds from all the popular cable channels and is sold for less than a quarter of the normal cost. That's really cool.

Sure, I use one at home. I get cable stations like CNN, channel O, MTV base, skysports and movies, discovery channel and some others. Nigerian cable TV.

Can someone tell me the actual cost of this Low cost device, and if it will work in Ogun State.

Pls, i want to know the cost too and how/where to get it in Lagos.

@ Angelgirl and Shallar 1. When it first got to the market, it sold for between N10K and N15K, but now I hear it is sold for between 5K and 7K. I must one you though the cable stations are sometimes scrambled i.e they somtimes withhold some stations, just to make us subscribe, Channels that are always clear are Channel O, Discovery Channel, all Nigerian cable tv, cartoon network.

I don't know if it will work in Ogun state but don't see any reason why it shouldn't.

how much is the subscription per month and plz someone list all the channels available on this thingy ASAP.

It seems this is the best alternative to DSTV which is so damn expensive..

I'm gonna get this thing right away....

The fact that this thread exists just goes to show how price-sensitive the working class Nigerian is!

Well, working class or not, Seun, its free. Mamba, you don't have to visit the bank every month. Just buy, install and watch.

Is it legal?

It is not illegal for you to build your own antenna. I believe it is only illegal if you start making a profit from it like collecting money for TV matches. Anyway, it's a microwave dipole antenna and can easily be converted to a radio antenna, so I believe its not really a crime.

Apart from that, Nigerians are crime tolerant [I](that's why we bribe policemen and pay extra when we pay our normal NEPA or NITEL tariffs.)[/I]

shallar1, i'm not sure the stuff will work in ogun state for the simple fact that there needs to be a cable base station in the vicinity for it to work. i have been in abeokuta a number of times and i have not seen anyone use it.

u have to make do without it for some time i guess

for one, the cable is bout 5500-7000 naria,,u get a video set and dat originally becomes a cable

Seun asked if it is legal?is installing nigerian antenna illegal,based on the fact that we do not pay any thing again after buying it and installing

Most times they knowingly swith off the channels and it goes blank.To me it is a trial and error method of watching cable. ;

Guess someone at Multichoice was taking notes. They crashed the price down anyway. Still interested though.

@kodewrita, dude I guess d only reason u revive ds post is 'cos u d creator of it. Dude its bin like 5 yrs & d so-called cable antenna is like out of use. Whats d point! ''sighs

its not about cost any longer. now am into learning about cable generally. own a few decoders from different provders but am a neophyte when it comes to installation and other key technical stuff.
