Nollywood producers will still prefer to give Africa Magic their new movies because DSTV pays them better.

DSTV has poured millions of dollars in into the Nigerian Professional Football League without any profit yet the govt did not give them any tax relief. I see this development making the NFF very uncomfortable.

TV stations like Soundcity and Hip TV will still prefer the DSTV platform because they pay them better. Besides DSTV is partly responsible for the acceptance of Nigerian music across Africa.

Many people are addicted to the shows Telemundo and Zee World which TSTV does not have. Not everybody watches sport. That was the same assumption that killed HiTv.

I don't see DSTV collapsing. They're in so many countries although Nigeria is their second most important market. They have over 200 channels with something for everybody.

People don't know that subscription is actually cheaper in Nigeria than for instance Ghana. Cable TV is a luxury everywhere in the world. Sky is expensive in the UK too.

This competition will be good for the Nigerian consumer and is welcome but people please let's not get our hopes too high. TSTV has to earn credibility and our support.

Government didn't just give them tax relief they earned it through proper thinking ...Pioneer status..... While dstv was interested in milking us as we are somebody thought of a way to make a killing from legal policy of the government... They are pioneering pay per view in Nigeria hence the status .... It is a never before tried aspect of the business here in Nigeria ... If you bring another innovation and give same to dstv , government will grant them the status ,also


They are offering data service for almost free ... You can use it to watch any channel that is not on their menu ... I went to their site and saw CNN amongst their news channels because you can use the data to watch it


For three thousand you have 10g of data and a WiFi enable device .., how cheap can it get ... Just that alone will sell the product to the youths and university students

Will they give them free diesel to run their several units of 1000 ova generators..,I guess no! I wish them a smooth sail and profit in the first five years. SALUTE!

wickyyolo:
Will they give them free fuel to run their Generators ?

Thank you. Instead of 3years tax free, let them just ensure regular power supply. This will save a lot of money.

Some people will not like this

TStv should try to get full EPL right next season to get full audience to her side...good development.

xandy84:
You're on point. Nigerian want good stuff but does not want to pay for it. Cable TV is expensive every part of the world. It cost over $120 to get a decent channels in States and it could go as high as $250 with all the add on. Good stuff does not come cheap thought DSTV monopoly is long overdue but the new Cable TV is not a rival for DSTV. I am of the opinion DSTV would concentrate on the rich while the new cable TV target the middle class and the poor.

If dstv follow your advice and try to focus on the rich they will be out of the market in months. The rich wants free things mu h more then the poor ... They will be the first to move .... And people wants something refreshingly new .... Data and video call using your Tv ..... They actually gave you a smart TV that you need half a million naira to get from Samsung for just 5k.

diegwu01:
I dont see a single post commending The Federal Government here for this huge incentive for this budding digital Tv firm,
Whereas few days ago a PDP, IPOB, Children of Hate sponsored propaganda emerged saying Buhari and the FG had shares in DSTV and were hell bent in destroying TSTV before its launch.

You said my mind bro

happy to hear this good news, at least the federal government has given tstv a foundation to stand strong for the next 3 years.

This is indeed a welcome development, we need more of the entrepreneurs like this to boost our nation's economy and diversify it. The government really did well with the 3 years free tax operation, this will indeed encourage others. I pray they actualize their potential and make us proud. Proudly Nigerian

Tecno66:

No,this is a private company, developing countries grow with private investors and govt give them tax incentives in return. There is nothing wrong in given them 3 years tax free

That's why NEPA was privatized in 2013 to the so call Gencos (Generating companies) ,how many Megawatts have generated since then,FG are still the one doing it.

My point is that government has to find a way to achieve steady power supply. Though I appreciate the efforts being made so far but I tell you it takes the grace of God for businesses to succeed in Nigeria because of the high cost of fueling generators.

Judolisco:
Kai dhis tstv news jst dey sweet my belle

Dead on arrival if they won't show EPL

For three thousand you have 10g of data and a WiFi enable device .., how cheap can it get ... Just that alone will sell the product to the youths and university students

Do you know Africa Health TV? It's one of the worst TV stations in Nigeria. It belongs to this owner of Tstv. Is that the person that will offer all these they're promising? Nigerians no go ever hear word like that MMM time. If una like make una call me DSTV marketer

It's called discernment dear. Same thing happened with MMM. Nigerians are easily fooled.

I wish dstv could pay me.

adudu208:
I will urge cautious optimism considering the antecedents and pedigree of the owner of TSTV- Dr Bright Echefu.

It may require more than mere promises and media hype before i jump into the TSTV wagon.
Is this not the same Dr. Bright Echefu that has a long list of controversies trailing him.

Dr. Bright got engaged to his wife's friend barely 5months after losing her during child birth. This was a major social media scandal that went viral.

Few months later he got arrested and charged to court for fraud. He was said to have issued a dude cheque of about N1.6m for the purchase of computers and accessories. This case was taken to court after all efforts to get him to pay was abortive.
It was then reported that the fiancé 'dumped' him as soon as he got arrested and remanded in prison.

Don't blame me if i am not as optimistic because in this case i will only pass judgement after 6months of launch considering the pedigree of the CEO.

hmmm . ..monitoring spirits
