With the endless monopoly of Multichoice Africa for over a decade and a half, and the needless perennial increase in their subscription rates due to unavailability of sustainable competition, there has always been a need for a readily affordable legal alternative to their services.
HiTV came but weren't able to sustain themselves due to their huge debt profile. Daarsat's popularity was short-lived, as marketing was poor.
Now as at the first quarter of the year 2015, we have what we would call not necessarily competition, but quality alternatives to the thievery we suffer from DSTV.
There first came Startimes, then Consat, ACTV, and Montage cable TV. They all pack pretty attractive channels at affordable rates, mostly in high definition. None of them costs more than 15,000 naira for installation and non has a subscription costing more than 4000 naira. Exciting enough is that they come with HD PVR decoders that gives you the pause, rewind and play option, with crystal clear audio and video quality at 15k max (note that DSTV HD PVR decoder costs 78k).
Pls anyone using any of the above listed cable TV providers should Kindly give us an insight to their service quality and channel program fun rating.
I am still trying to figure out which of them to go for though.
Pls note that this is not an advertisement for any company.

Just in case

p

most of these are good alternative to dstv but ppl are not aware. Especially if you're not a soccer fan

Nice one Op,
Sorry I cant help you on the subject matter because I dont do paytv, my fta set satisfy my tv watching wants. The in house programmes of some of the providers you mentioned above are good ( as viewed also on free-to-air).
The only thing that serves as a bone of contention and that gives Dstv braging right is Football rights, take that out, I guess the game is fair.

Viva fta

Choices of Nigerians hang with Mytv for now except for football.
