Or you can port to Startimes.

The cheaper alternative.

DSoj:


Which other VIABLE ones are there?

Star times

Venzal:
You can't blame TSTV bro. The kind of leaders we have are the kind of people who will sell us all out as long as they stand to benefit from it.

MTN and Multichoice bribe the hell out of the people in charge and greed will not let them say no. From what I read, it is our own bodies that frustrated TSTV and you can bet who was behind it all. Multichoice wants to have sole control over that industry in Nigeria. And our stupid leaders are letting them!

I weep for us.

Actually, no one frustrated TSTV.

Their problems began with poor service, then there was the BeIN agreement that wasn't, then there were the promises they made like interent with your decoder that they knew they could not keep.

TSTV frustrated TSTV. Not the government, not DSTV.

Startimes dey. Cheaper alternative . USE THEM.

As if DSTV is even affected by the PANDEMIC, nonsense!

Let people just stop paying for subscription for once and see if that company will not reduce tariff by 50%; arabanko station. As if person dey watch the whole station sef. no be just a station person dey watch the give them that unearned income.

DSTV, be careful ooooo

Dstv should be asked to leave this country...they re exploiting us.

All the ranting go soon stop and ppl go pay am...ppl mentioning NCC are funny sha..like dem dey hear you or go do something about it...matter wey dey naija table sef dey neva settle am shey na dis one dem go add join?....That's what we get for being a Nigerians

ikpochi:

If they leave the country, I believe you have the cash to provide jobs for all the Nigerians that would lose their jobs when that happens?

Or you can just abandon DSTV and change over to Startimes. Cheap and affordable.

juvewalex:
We can't do Jack about it , we be mugu I swear .

Confam mugu... Anybody fit chance us.

Online warriors naim we get plenty.

l have access to watch much more sporting events than dstv premium subscribers, and I pay way less. Things are just different in Naija.

MasterJayJay:
Una no see Startimes?

DON'T MIND NIGERIANS

That's all Nigerians knows how to do - "Protests on Twitter and Facebook" we are all Simps!!! Police kill our brothers - we go Twitter to create hash tags and protest.
Dstv increase tariff - "we go on Twitter and protest"!!!

Gerrard59:


LIES!

The best thing to do is stop patronising DSTV. it is that simple, use your money elsewhere. Why do you think you have the right to dictate for a company how to price her services? If you don't like it, stop patronising them. I don't understand Nigerians, it is simple economics. Look at the vast majority of the comments, people who failed economics in secondary school. Nonsense!

I don't use DSTV.
I'm a Startimes subscriber
That's why I was midly annoyed myself.
So kindly calm down

Just let all Nigerian subscribers boycott both DStv and gotv for just a month they will come to beg us with slash in month subscription.but they know even there is 100% increment in subscription we will still subscribe.

AndyCole16:

So which one are you using now?

None...
I check News online and download movies on my laptop which I connected to my TV

Narayi10:
pls there should be an explanation to y there is an increase, is there an increase in vat or cost of running the business

VAT was increased from 5% to 7.5%, the federal government instill that multichoice collect VAT from you and I

ibrounited2002:

They might slash their prices but their profit would be affected. If their profit reduced many of their staffs may loose their jobs. The government should have thought of this when they signed that yeyetic bill.

Pay as you can never come to fruition...

These people bribe the presidency.. The national assembly... And there is nothing Nigerians can do about it... Because the youths are useless..

See reasonable comment...

Olatlaccon:
No be their fault na...if to say competition dey dem for no dey do anyhow

Use star time

You people should go and subscribe to Startimes abi na by force dem dey watch DStv? If everybody was like me, DStv would not get subscribers because I don't even have time to watch the Startimes I have at home.

Yeah

bencobenz:
I don't blame them, I blame Tstv.

It not their fault.. Anyways why stress when their are other ways out.. 20k 1 year subscription and you watch everything.. This is public forum I can't say more than this all you need is good internet..

annford:
I personally 'divorced' DSTV and Gotv years ago. I use Free-to-air both in my home and office. Free-to-air gives me over 600 channels including most of the channels DSTV and GOtv offer, so why should I throw away thousands of Naira every Month when I spent less than 20k on the Free-to-air?

What channels do you get?

edoairways:
Use star time

You no fit compare DStv with startimes na

Olatlaccon:

They bribe the agencies to kill competitors no matter how small. They succeeded in taking out cable operators now they have to recover there money they spent.

South Africa does not have 'pay as you go', they have a packages system (same as Nigeria)

Infact, South Africa has the same level of packages system as does Nigeria, with their Premium package costing R800 (N17,662 in naira), Compact Plus R519 (11,484 naira) and Compact R399 (8,093 naira)..and as you can see it costs more than Nigeria's own

Kenya too has a packages system. 160+ CHANNELS costs 26,787 naira over there. Their cheapest rate costs 3,280 naira only for 110 plus channels.

As for 'sane climes' , UK 's Sky offers their ultimate package at 25 pounds monthly for the first 18 months. (12,000 naira approx)

I doubt any country in Africa or abroad offers pay as you go for regular customers...(Kwese TV offers pay as you go apparently)

You can switch to MyTv (N1450 for 3 months ), Startimes (N2000 , plus you would save more money), or stick with good old NTA, or any other local provider. (Or Netflix, if yer internet is powerful0

Is mytv still functioning??

flokii:
Why can't NCC stop DSTV/GoTv from cheating Nigerians?

We've said it times without number that the South African company should embrace "Pay as you go" system of billing just like it is in SA and other sane climes.

Why increase tariff when people hardly get value for the money they pay. This rubbish has to stop.

The bastards at NCC collect bribe from Multi choice and look the other way, while Nigerians Suffer. This country is a ceespool

jaxxy:
The twitter guy Dorsey has had his fortunes turn up thanks to Trump majorly, and other groups for making twitter relevant again. It was once an obsolete app heading to extinction.

Every issue is now debated on Twitter. Anyways it’s quite insensitive of Dstv.

Trump actually made Twitter relevant.

Habaa!

Why people dey complain na?

The additional money no too much na.
