DAARSAT promises rich content for viewers

A NEW satellite Direct-To-Home (DTH) Pay TV platform, DAARSAT from the stable of the Daar Communications Plc is set to hit the airwaves soon with a promise of rich broadcast content for the viewers. DAARSAT comes with a deep afrocentric orientation which aligns with the traditions of DAAR Communications Plc, owners of DAARSAT.

DAARSAT will be the first satellite Pay TV platform offering service in Nigeria and operating wholly from Nigeria. This oreintation is based on the owner's belief in the development of the technological manpower in Nigeria to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

With a strong focus on exceptional customer service management, DAARSAT is conceptualized with a programme bouquet to satisfy the yearning and aspirations of Nigerians. It is one platform that takes cognizance of the interests of the viewers. The new pay TV comes with superior quality and programme depth that is second to none.

DAARSAT will commence operations with 40 channels that span entertainment, sports, movies, lifestyle, news, fashion and music. A major feature of the new pay TVs is the deliberate choice of the channels to align with the expectation of the Nigerian viewing public.

DAARSAT will introduce the latest compression technology - MPEG4 which gives it the capability to introduce real High Definition programming to Nigeria as it will air Nigeria's first High definition broadcast content as part of its programme offering.

In a bid to accelerate the transfer of technology, DAARSAT will, in its first year of operation, commence the manufacture of its decoders in Nigeria.

In DAAR Communications Plc's traditional pioneering role, the new pay TV offering is set to introduce to Nigeria, the world's first Integrated Decoder and LCD Television which receives both digital terrestrial and satellite television signals.

The Executive Chairman, DAAR Communication, Dr Raymond Dokpesi said DAARSAT has a focus to Nigerianize the pay TV industry in Nigeria. The vision is predicated on the need to make every Nigerian have a sense of belonging in the new pay TV. It is an attempt at creating a voice for Nigerians.

Dokpesi also said the company has engaged expatriate engineers who will develop the competence of its manpower in engineering and technical areas to accelerate the transfer of technological skill sets required in this budding new industry.

This Service will be out in a couple of weeks, SO BRACE UP FOR MORE,

They have got some nice stations though

Do they have a website?

check www.daarsat.com as it has all the information you need to learn more about daarsat, becoming a subscriber or dealer. they say this is just a temporary site as they are launching a new site early next year.

I did not realise that it take so much time to build a web site.
