Its ok ive heard.

No point arguing guess dstv works with a different exchange rate

that is the business angle to it . Dstv and other cable tv providers already have their market ,Netflix doesn't. Secondly not all mobile users will embrace Netflix because Nigerians are data consumption conscious, and thirdly why are u insisting on dstv alone there are other operators in the market. My submission is based on the general business climate in Nigeria.

I am indifferent to the whole netflix thing.

I was able to download Beast of No Nation on Torrent 24 hours after it was released on netflix.

Sherlocks Abominable Bride was on torrent, three hours after it was released.

Even series exclusive to Netflix such as House of Cards and Orange is the new black are often avalaible on Torrent. Netflix even makes it easier to download because they release all the episodes to their series at the same time i think. Downloading on torrent is free and sweet if you work in an office that doesnt block torrent.

If i want to watch Nigerian Movies, i visit youtube and watch them for free.

Streaming Movies on Netflix in Nigeria doesnt make any economic sense for lyoncrescent unless all torrent websites are banned.

. kindly post the torrent site again abeg

Dstv major selling points are the Mnet channels and Supersports.
With Netflix, I can get all the Movies and shows. For current movies, box office and life sports I will turn to GENESIS on my Android MXiii box.

Does the android tv box MXIII rely on your Wi-Fi subscription? How much data do you subscribe for it?

Hmm... I just think this is not so necessary in a country like Nigeria right now. We should be trying to develop, not rely on developed countries for everything.

From the bottom up

Seriously how many of each of the other contenders do you personally know at least 10 of their subscribers?

Data consumption conscious yes, do you honestly not believe that things are improving regarding data? Remember when people had to pay 100NGN per hour to browse at cyber cafes? If someone asks you to come and invest in cyber cafe now would you answer him? What would be your reason? Exactly!

A time was wimax seemed like it was the ultimate speed today na 4g LTE i think

requiring less infrastructure and delivering more.
Thats what technology is all about...well except in the case of dstv.

You underestimate how easy technology gets swapped remember cathode ray boxlike tvs? How long did it take for that to be dumped for flat screen tvs?

or cassette players for cds and now mp3s?

DSTV already has its market, now imagine them losing it? The major band of people who subscribe to DSTV are the young and upwardly mobile. If today an episode of blacklist airs on NBC in america and im following them on facebook or twitter you think i like hearing gist after the show has been aired?

Or not being able to watch the show at my own convenience, all those things they call catch up or even box office and make people pay extra for?

If i want to watch an episode of the Cosby show or any of those programs that i just feel like, bamn! just a few clicks and im there! no more do you remember...?

Some months na so so repeat movies dem go just dey show person! No more! If i want to watch a repeat movie, let it be what i want, where i want and at my own convenience.

Let them hold on to Africa magic yoruba for all i care but for these points o dude no need to disturb yourself trust me

Nigeria has moved...the world has moved.

Guy Netflix and chill! The era of magic is over! Theyve had a good run let someone else provide us with quality entertainment biko

Half of a yellow sun is just overhyped.

Beast of No nation is too good. And movie with direction.

I love the small boy called Agwu. His acting is just classic

Brilliant!!!!

However there is no unlimited data streaming in Nigeria for 12,000

My friend it depends on your location.
Internet is wasting away at my office..... I have come to realize that there is so much more you can do with the internet than just Facebook and WhatsApp when you have it UNLIMITED.

I wonder how many movies or series u want to download? Iv watched the whole series of House, Flashpoint, Prison Break, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Law & Order SUV, Films and so many more on Netflix and Hulu, why would I want to download them, to where? They will b there if u want to watch them again, so what's the point?

Nigeria should start blocking some foreign Media houses like China does.
That way, the indigenous ones can grow and employ its people.

No Nation succeeds by hanging on almost 100% to the ideas of other nations.

But Lai Muhammend and his band of propaganda rogues wont see this.
They rather focus on crushing the opposition members with lies and more lies.

Bro, I understand but the Indegenious are not creative. When nobody is competing with them, they feel relaxed. What has kept Irokotv from improving?

Re: Netflix Enters Nigeria, See The Winners And Losers by Nobody: 8:12pm On Jan 07, 2016

Just like 2012 when university dorm rooms were disturbed daily about Netflix, in a few months time another company is coming to cut a slice from the Nigerian market: Amazon's Lovefilm. Competition, as done the world over except Africa, would drive the price down for even Western based services like Netflix. We the Africans would enjoy the most out of it since our people have killed all chances of making the indigenous industry competitive.

Re: Netflix Enters Nigeria, See The Winners And Losers by jajad: 8:23pm On Jan 07, 2016

Netflix's content in Nigeria is terribly meager compared to what's available in the US.
Nigeria has 230 TV shows on Netflix. The US has 1340 shows!!

No Breaking Bad, Borgias, Bones, or Buffy (see pictures), and this is just a selection from Bojack Horseman to Broadchurch.

No Firefly, no Archer, no Clone Wars.

No Barney, no Bob Zoom.

No Greys Anatomy, or House, or Scandal.

And we pay the same amount as US viewers.

Strawman:

They've had the ability since. If they want they can pay it without blinking, I guess they just want to rubbish our government and take advantage of the little corruption within their power.

If you check the thread on how much data people use yearly you'd realize mtn's making a killing from data services also, probably even way more than they enjoyed from voice call service alone. Even people happy to buy data at discounted rates and use simple server tweaks still pay more than settling for BIS monthly for a whole year.

Does Nigeria have the bandwidth to stream Netflix without buffering??
Sorry, this is a legitimate question.

I just wonder.
