damn then why is everyone not using it.... One would think it's only dstv in this life....pls Tell me what does dstv have over BUD, maybe better service etc...

i tell alot of people that dstv is overated. I have watched over 60-75% of hollywood movies released in 2018/19, on bud n fta, but guess what ?, it will be shown as premier on dstv maybe year ending if not next year.

there is also canal sat which has a complete sporting package than dstv and its cheaper dan dstv.

Language barrier i guess.
dstv is english, on canalsat its french, on bud u have french,polish, portugues and arabic for sport while movies are english and u can subtitle sef.

Starboytwo:
one more thing, this BUD, does it show all matches?.. Or you'd still have to supplement with other cables..

Dstv collective only have sport channels . 3 channels
other bouquest can only do 2 channels as extra view.

a bud with 4way lnb can get u 4-8matches on different decoders.

all matches and all competition inclusive exclusively
no need for dstv high sub, sport sub , startimes, kwese or andriod sef.....

I can't really say, Google it. The subscription is 3150/month though.

You can even tweak it to show as double view while paying for single view (that's corruption though, lolz)

ctl is only available in few states n city

ur best bet is bud

i have 1 4.4m , 2 1.8m dish and 5 decoders and i'v been in business for 5year...
no dstv sub dan #1900 access if need be

Olameen1713:


Exactly my bro, I started this business with my life savings thinking I would be able to recoup my money back at the short or long run.. but here I am, with almost 5 seasons gone, I'm still not break even with no hope in sight... truth is, if you have other long term ambitions this business is not for you. Invest in other things even like treasury bills..

You may think you will get your money back at the short run but lemme tell you, it's very difficult to get 100 customers in a single match as some people posited here. Also note that you can only show maximum of 4 matches ( the big clubs) in weekend while the number of fans of various clubs will be vary that also influence your sales.

Secondly is even if you are able to get it be rest assure that the following season you will get a competitor that will challenge you and eventually cut down your sales significantly with little or nothing to do about it..

Thirdly, your fixed costs will remain regardless of whether you make sales or not.

Woo my bro, it's not a funny experience abeg.
If you have not committed to it yet, I will advice you to look elsewhere..


mhhhhnn
wen i moved to my new site, i had 2 90cm, 1 1.8m dish n 1 dstv n was on compact plus sub n was able to show about 3matches at a go but wasnt breaking even. i eliminated d dstv, bout another 1.8m dish after 6months n added another decoder and was showing all matches, while dstv scattered all collective channels alot of vc cudnt cope with paying #16k den for 3 decoders.

i saved up, bout my 4.4m dish n can now show all matches n competitions.

with bud you are sure of survival......

bros look beyond dstv n think outside d box

BUD ( Big dishes ) vs dstv

Analysis....
BUD VS DSTV....
1ST YEAR....

BUD... DISH , DECODER CCCAM ETC #250,000. 12Months

DSTV..
1st sub ...decoder , dish n installation #75000.

pre season..
bud ✅✅✅✅
dstv....avoidance...or sub single activation..#9800.

2nd yr...
Bud....cccam , meg etc 12months....@ most #30000.

dstv...10months sub...
#185000.

3rd year...
Bud....with new fta n cccam #30000.

dstv increases sub to #19000/month
=#190000.

do you run a VC.... Anyway I don't expect it to be easy.... But I still think a well run VC would get its audience here.... I'm using myself as an example... I still shaked my head when I got to a VC 2 days ago and it was not opened... Also there is a high population of students here... All the raw materials are just there staring at me....

d owner might just be trying to save cost, atimes pple dnt follow euro qualifiers, & nigeria already qualified, most vc will not sub if der sub don finish within d 2wks international break

i don't have an alresdy constructed place, but I have a piece of land to do the job, I have a big Gen, TV would be produced, fan also.... I intend to do "free text run on the Nation's cup, I'm new in the area and just want to text waters.... I have envisioned a large turnout expecially when Nigeria is playing and the location is quite a bomb,as it's directly in front of the junction, infact all roads leads to the front of my house... That's d last junction to wherever you coming from and where you get to board another....

My aim is to take advantage of the lack of VC in that area, my believe is if one could supply one there, then you'd be patronized.... But I haven't figured in the bet naija and bear palour peoples.... Infact 3 bear palour surround me

Reference:


They will still have to buy content and there the cookie crumbles. We are living in a global age with attendant mixing of cultures and pursuits. If your cable company cannot show the premiership, CNN or Telemundo, you are out of business in a whisper. The only solution to global competition is to raise the living standards of a peoples of a country to meet amd compete globally. We simply complain because we are dirt poor. The rest of the world is ready to pay Lionel Messi, LeBron James, Anthony Joshua, Kim Kardashian and Richard Quest more and more money. We either get on board or get off the train...... restructure Nigeria now for lasting, sustainable prosperity.

cnn and most news channels across the world are free to air, CNN , BBC News, aljazeera, DW, reiter are all free to air....

its not illegal, its not me watching dstv illegally or any paytv.

its just you buying and tracking necessary satelites positions, wired to free to air decoder...

@Emmaachile

I read through your arguments about paytv being better than fta.

The fact is what you have stated. But fta is for hobbyist and enthusiasts. Unless one finds pleasure in tracking birds and watching for free, he can't enjoy fta.

There are many members of this forum who have paytv but still come here simply because they enjoy tracking sats. I believe you are one of them.

So in summary, while paytv will always have better quality and less risk, fta provides mental stimulation and value for money.

Cc: Odilibe, GeorgeD, Olenyi et al. These are the forefathers of fta in NL.

well said....... fta is an opium to the enthusiast...
dont be deceived.....its costlier than paytv.....but the freedom to enjoy d world at your finger tip gives an eldorado.
me n paytv departed since 2010....

its been fta since then...
