ok.

It's actually too expensive. Why can't there be a pay per view. Pay as you go. something like that.

coogar:

you guys don't know what you are enjoying.
14k a month for DSTV and you are complaining? i would gladly pay 30k per month to have the benefit of watching man utd every weekend instead of watching delayed feeds that sky offers.

SailorXY:

that #14k is just the periphery. factor you still buy a litre of fuel for above #200*the number of hours you enjoy TV daily

give & take - pay-per-view cuts it fairly!

elampiro:

Your economy is better.
We pay for so many things here. We have to complement our power supply with fuel or diesel.

coogar:


but you still get to watch all the games on saturday afternoon. super sports 1-8 or there about cater to every club.....we don't get to watch that here. we only watch 4-5 live games(maximum) per weekend......and the cheapest subscription that includes sports is about £70 per month.

SailorXY:

its terrible! I heard some group of lawyers took up the matter, but so far no update on the proceeding...

the monopoly is not healthy, even for the Nigerian economy.

only few people can afford it here too & some just hate the whole arrangement that the customers can't pick & choose the matches they want to watch - so they don't subscribe at all.

HITV won the bid, but GTbank fell their hand. They refused to grant them loan facility to pay up, or may be they delayed in granting the facility. HITV charged 6k the highest, they started with 4k when they had the right.

elampiro:


What about MUTV? Is it not accessible- either online stream or TV?

SailorXY:

but you get pay as you view option?
the problem is that the pay-as-you-go option is available from this same dstv in SA. when MTN came to Nigeria as well, they sang hard & long about how per second billings is very impossible. what's happening now?
our government can make these things easier by not allowing monopoly in the sector or any sector for that matter! let market forces determine costs no matter how shabby or excellent the service delivery becomes, consumers can make their choices.

SailorXY:


hitv is very unserious. the owner should sell it to someone or group with more business sense.

more importantly, the rights should be sold to all who can afford it, this is business. why must it always be one person in the whole nation?? just like Dangote was propelled to acquire all the whatnots. na wa oo.

I heard NTA has the rights too & will broadcast live games on Startimes...

SailorXY, The EPL monopoly is not from DSTV, but from the EPL.

If I remember well, this what was happened.

1. DSTV used to pay 15 million pounds for 3 years to English FA for EPL matches.

2. HITV came on board and when it was time to renew the right for 3 years, HITV bid 45 million pounds and won it for the next 3 years. DST were however given 2 matches while HITV got 8 matches. I was paying for both just to get all the matches including cup matches. HITV did not show CL and FA Cup games too from the start.

3. When the term expired, I think after 2011/2012 season, HITV bid 100m, DSTV bid 60M. EPL had earlier announced it was winners get all, no more 80/20 sharing ratio.

HITV could not raise the money as thei bank failed them. DSTV paid the 100M with the speed of a lightening when HITV failed.

nigerian customers failed HITV or i should say HITV didn't do their homework very well. they are new to the terrain and that was why they failed. the truth is 90% of people who subscribe for sky or HITV do it because of football.

when the football season ends, a lot of people stop paying - HITV should have taken this into the equation with a proper scheme to address this downtime. between may & august, i was told about 5% of their customers paid their monthly subscription - they didn't have enough in their reserve to fill the gap & their business collapsed!

SailorXY:

hmmm that's disgusting!
so they just bolted out of the blues(sic) & skyrocketed cost of breathing? they are even more useless than I imagined.
like I said earlier, the owner should sell it to more capable hands.

the U-20 will be aired live on Startimes, not COPA America. NTA refused to up their video quality, a whole national TV. Sometimes I wonder how much these things cost honestly. must they always find ways to disgrace us

@coogar, is it only sky that has EPL rights in the UK?

The season hazard came to chelsea;
man united fans; kagawa>hazard..end of season hazard>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>?>>>>>kagawa....kagawa=marco marin

before the start of this season, man united fans; di maria>hazard....end of season hazard>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>di maria

next season man united fan coming up with depay who played in a weak league=hazard lol, they are trying hard to look for a player that will be compare or better than hazard but in reality;top five this season; messi>>c.ronaldo>hazard>suarez>neymar.

Anybody who watch hazard at lille already know he is a total package that's, he can score, play-make, assist, has pace, dribble(his hobby) and make run with good square play. He is technical with the ball, he is just like his superior(messi), he rarely go down complain. (the two real men in today's football) unlike the two sissies(cr7 and neymar).

Lets see what depay can do in epl.

Wow! What a first half of entertaining football. 2-2

Nigeria should be leading by two goals margin but for luck. This is a very technical game, our boys can pass an opponent to death. Awoniyi round the goalkeeper only to hit side net- missed an empty net. Hope they wont regret it. It looks we are outnumbered in midfield while w defend. That's poor. We are not tightening it up enough.

you were a man city fan just last year. What went wrong??
only ignoramuses will utter hazard, messi and Cr7 in the same sentence. Hazard is step below Neymar yet you blaspheme against Leo and Ronnie.. Amadioha will besiege you.
