With starlink and smart tvs becoming more popular and cheaper…people will definitely abandon all these paid tvs…and even start offering free Wi-Fi to neighborhood.

The future will definitely be interesting…

Imagine having neighbours who understand life y'all join money to sub starlink maybe 38 people you'd be paying 1k per month for unlimited data

I used to have a link to these FREE channels based on online search. I can’t find those links anymore. Though the channels are still streaming on the app right now. I’ll keep checking for it though.

Hahaha. Thank God u have seen the light. When I told my wife I will no longer substitute dstv she was angry. But now she doesn't allow me handle remote unless it's a football game. Thanks to an IPTV I subscribed to. Endless movies and shows for the family and kid. Once u get data forget it u don't need datv

How much are you spending on data monthly sir ?

It's not waste of money. Thats why money is important becasue you make money in order to afford things in life.
This is part of the reasons Nigeria doesnt work, everybody they look for shortcut and things to steal instead of pay. How do you want investors to invest and create employment, when people cut corners and steal their ideas and pirate their products?
You Nigerians are just confused.
😆
There are millions of ideas, things that you cant have access to if you are in Nigeria because they know, una go steal it and spoil busines for them. They are afraid to come invest in Nigeria
If this is the idea you often sell to your close associates, then you need to rethink.

Please connect the person to me, I'm eager to pay.
For all those who mentioned me I might not be able to quote everyone. I just got back from work and saw a lot of mentions. Just Google IPTV u can get more details. From my own understanding it's a link that gives u access to countless stations online and videos on demand. Just get an app like smatterspro or the one I use xciptv. When u subscribe u will be given username and password as well as a link to login. It's pretty straightforward. U can use on both ur phone, smart tv or an android box which I use. The experience I tell u is out of this world.

Boss, how can I join this train abeg. Can't keep paying these exorbitant rate abeg. Wanted to go for SLTV

You can even use chrome cast plugged to the HDMI port of your TV(If it's not smart tv) to convert it to smart tv sort of. With that you simply cast whatever you're watching from any site online on your phone directly to your TV.
The best part is you can download as many movies to watch later at your convenience and pace. Chrome cast costs between 6-12k depending on where you are. Check jiji.

Good One!

You just dey discover say it saves cost to stream?

I have successfully stopped subscribing on GoTV since 6-7years now. Why did I stop?
I remember I subscribed that month and discovered that the channels didn't fully load. I called their contact center and I was told they have removed the channels.

The lady that picked the call sounded so nonchalant, and that the remover is their choice and no need to inform the customer. I stopped subscribing the next month. They have called me tire since then, offered me incentives and inducements, I haven't changed my decision.

Monthly, I simply activate MTN's 200GB on my 5G router and enjoy movies of choice, YouTube, football etc.

I like the be in control and doing streaming gives me control cuz I have not subscription running whether I watch or not. I can also control my data usage. Some months, nah 110GB I use, some 150GB and I just roll over the data.


Since I saw the increase in bouquet I just dey laugh 😄

I used a live football match app on my phone, then casted the view on my smart TV.

Apps like Yasine, livefooty and plenty others stream football live on your mobile phone.

I hope you know those websites are illegal sha?

25k.

But it is not every month I do that. I roll over the data.

My data usage is high because I streaming with my laptop and connect with TV. Obviously, if you use smart TV it will be cheaper.

Then about 3-4 phones connect to the router for data use too.

So that's why I use so much in a month. But I prefer it since I am not being billed for what I don't use (away at work all day).


Why would using a smart TV be cheaper then streaming through laptop? No be the same streaming?

jamesversion:


The bigger the size of your TV set, the more data it consumes. A 45 inch TV will consume more data than a 35 inch TV.

special features of the TV such as 4K resolution or 8k on Quantum dots technology will further deplet the data.

So while someone with a 45 inch regular smart TV may use 22GIG data for one month, another with a 65 inch 4K resolution TV might use up dame 22GIG data in 2weeks or less.

Smart TV consumes data. That's why it's better to use smart boxes instead. Smart boxes consumes about the same data as the mobile phones.

For more than 2 years I have been consistently subscribing to DSTV, from last year march till last month, I was on price lock on 9k for compact. No doubt I was actually enjoying dstv especially premier league football.

So my subscription expired last week and I checked the new price for compact, it was 15k+. Geskiya I said I can't be subscribing again. The money is too much. Thanks almost 180k per year.

So yesterday, I was at home, was now playing around with my TV apps, what I saw really amazed me.

There are plenty apps that shows children movies, another ones shows action films, though old, but they are interesting. There is an afroland TV that shows Nigerian movies. This afroland shows live France 24 news. There is Plex TV that shows live channels and still have movies too.

Then I discovered that Al Jazeera, channels TV and some other news channels shows live on YouTube. Worst of it all is that, on YouTube there are some personal channels that have full videos on movies both foreign and locals, with very recent cartoons.

Then I said let me test the cast option. Lo and behold, when man city match started, I used a stream app to watch football on my phone then I now casted it to TV. O boy, everything clear.

I watched Man city, Tottenham and Chelsea matches.

When I was leaving the house after Chelsea match, I checked my data, despite connecting it to my TV since morning, I didn't blow up to 4g.

So if I used that my 9k I was using to subscribe to DSTV compact and buy Airtel 22g for 5k, I will be on unlimited streaming till month end.

Watch at you own space.

In addition, some of these documentaries that is been shown on nat geographic gold and wild, discovery channel, investigation ID, there episodes are there on YouTube. All you need is to search for it.

My brothers and sisters....

Bye bye to DSTV and other paid TV.


In addition, there is a radio app on the smart TV that brings to you plenty radio channels both home and abroad. What I haven't confirmed is if it's live or pre recorded.
I had a smart TV, never knew what it was capable of doing until it got spoilt. I just wasted it's years.

All these adverts here and there, DSTV is better (if not for their price hike) when you are watching live football games. I always feel irritated whenever I'm watching a live football game and I hear goal from a small bar adjacent to my house and will be wondering who scores while watching the same match

Shey na these bein sports channel you dey watch ba cheesy

Even as a family, there is every tendency that you won't finish 40gb data in a month on streaming. And to get 40gb, ot cost averagely 10k.
Airtel 40 gig is 5k, just type *141# and select my area. Thank me later, that's what I use

Also ditched my Dstv decoder late last year.

I enjoy watching NBA and NFL, Dstv does show them but not all games.
Now l just subcribe to NBA app for 5k and stream the NBA play offs ( one the NBA play offs are finished , l will resubscribe for netflix 5K)
I do also subscribe to youtube premium for 1k, so l do not have to watch the ads

For my data, l got an Airtel 4G Router and l sub 20k for 200Gb

So Au Revoir Dstv


Calculate everything, no be 31k you don spend so? Wetin come different from 37k of DSTV?

I'm not a big football fan, I've become hooked on my smart TV . I subscribed to MTN's 1 Terabyte plan for ₦100,000, which lasts a year. Since my wife and I work from home, I can now monitor what my kids watch, no matter where I am. DStv has been calling to ask why I haven't subscribed in the past 6 months, so I had to let them know I've moved on and wish them the best. So pe otilor😊

IPTV is a paid service but it's very affordable ND it gives more Entertainment. With 2500 per month I can set IPTV for u with over 13k channels, movies and series. Up too 3 months, 6 months to 1 year plan

That's interesting. Does this require a dish and decoder?
