There is a new digital cable service provider in Port Harcourt and many other parts of Nigeria presently. They show most the channels that make DSTV outstanding: discovery, nat geo, reality, cnn, bbc, fox news, ait, a lot of movie channels, sports channels showing live PREMIERSHIP & CHAMPIONS LEAGUE matches and a lot of many other interesting channels (about 47 channels in all).

The advertised equipment cost is N20,000 and the monthly subscription is N2,900. Dual view decoder is also available.

My questions are

1. How come this relatively new company is able to bring all these juicy channels from the very beginning when some of the bigger players in the market still struggle to show even one of these channels at any given time.

2. How come this company shows all English Premiership matches live when the likes of HITV, DSTV, CTL and others are still battling over rights issue? I understand HITV owns the exclusive right show most of the live premiership matches in Nigeria.

pls tell us more it sounds intresting, if it can best the dstvs and hitvs of this world and its as cheap as u say then its cool, more info pls

Would it last?, they come and go in a flash!

Interesting. . . what's their office address or website?

Sounds too good to be true.
Are you sure about the name chief? I cant seem to find any info about it.

@Benn
It sounds good, let have their contact details and also the extent of their coverage.

wow, our problems are beginning to get solutions. questions are beginning to have answers. some day, just some day, Satellite TV subscriptions shall crash like hell. Good news from Benn. Hope they imbibe quality into their quantity, unlike our HiTv.

Good news! Do they have website so that we can visit it for more info on this?

Guys,
Don't be too excited. I live in Asaba, and I had heard a lot about Metrodigital. Guess what? My friend and colleague bought it about 2 weeks ago, he's regretting. I heard that MetroDigital has a "restricted Licence" in Nigeria, they are actually receiving Digital Satelite TV signals footprints,althiough they really do not have a licence to operate in major cities in Nigeria. I think if they go low and don't give DSTV and HITV a run for their money, no one would complain. They also have a website. You can't use the decoder outside of your city of purchase.
Most Pay per view Premier League Operators still use HITV

guys, am using metrodigital, [in ph], its quite good, though i still prefer dstv to.
but based on their rates n channels, i rate them very high, they are the best compared to cmtv/hitv/ctl, etc,
if u are in ph, their office in near artillery jxn,

but dstv is doing a bonanza now,
45k plus 6mnths subscription, 4 dstv family,
hurry now while the offer lasts

koooooooool, more info. on cities covered pls, nd those behind the outfit, hoping and praying (it)they will last.
the more the merrier at least from the consumers angle.

I live in Asaba too and was almost signing uo for the Metrodigital last week. was at their office, opposite Ogbeogonogo Mkt. Its true they show LIVE Premiership and Champions League matches and have a host of other interesting channels including Nigerian/Lagos channels. The monthly subscribtion is N3,000 (formely N2,500 bt b/c they started paying to HiTV for premiership games, it was jacked up). The channels here are about 35 and most of them are always available. They also have dual view. Acquisition is about N25,000 in all + one month subscribtion.

I think its really cool for the fact that they also show the Champions League and have some channels not found on HiTV and DSTV. But the limitations are that u cannot use it outside the immediate city and sometimes (like HiTV) the channels are not available - but that is mostly the unimportant ones. Generally, it's ok.

Good day All !!!!

very true

guy, we need the website and contact details,

i dont undastand addresses like, behind NEPA junction or beside akara joint,


where is the head office address,

just pray it dosent flops like HiTV.

How long will it take Benn to furnish us with details of this "magical" Metrodigital.

Is this an indication of what prospective customers should expect? unreliable!!!

Our hunger for foreign programmes has made some people so gullible, they will fall for any dupe in the name of "cable service provider". May God help us!

Please Nairaland dont rush, not all that glows is gold, HI TV are the only company that has right to show all the premier league

man have 47 channels
and think that it da Bomb!

so what if he had 250 channels?
and paying approx. N1000?

I didn't know there is cabletv in Naija. Maybe you mean a satellite tv like DSTV.

Heard about MetroDigital when i was still in PH. Thought they said they'll be serving just the 'East' and PH.

Well, if they're in Ibadan (my current location), i'd like to know their office address or at least get their phone line.

Thanks.

I guess they should come over to lagos so that we can atleast discuss with them one by one.




Would you like to make money online come on in

Thanks for this information, this is the first time i came across the company

Its not party time yet. One,Metrodigital is not a new cable provider. Its been existing in Onitsha,Anambra State for several years now but couldnt break into the market due to challenges with the equipments and signal strength which fluctuates alot.
Secondly,that they are not having any issues with HITV now doesnt mean they wont. They are still small just wait until they get bigger.
That notwithstanding, we can enjoy it while it lasts. Cheers!
