What led you to this conclusion?

In a tstv model, customers are expected to make payments for content ahead of watching. However, as you watch, an amount is deducted from your account when streaming (assuming it is an internet based service) or per second or minute if it’s the regular satellite TV model (which is rare).

In Africa, the only Satellite TV is Kwese TV. They charge about N990 a week or N6,275 a month. Using N990 a week, it suggest the bill is about N141 per day. Kwese’s PAYW model is per day

The tstv model also has its challenges. For services that rely on internet, streaming can be slow due particularly in Nigeria. The buffering challenges are real and can be frustrating especially when you are watching intense programmes. Another challenge is determining the rate of 1 kilobyte of data being streamed. How is this metered and at what point does a customer confirm that they will be charged.

For tstv models that rely on satellite, even though, this option might appear cheap, it is likely to be expensive if you have a family that watches a lot of TV. For those looking for multiple views, it is also likely that you might rack up cost

tstv might be ideal for the consumers but does not bode well for the Cable service providers as they are more likely to run a deficit in no time. Think about it. Many decoders will only be on for programs people deem more important like football matches, soap operas, news, and the likes.

Even major programmes like the voice, Bigbrother, and Naija sings, will only get viewers on eviction days. This will be a financial setback to the cable service providers. They still have to cover costs such as tax, diesel, salaries and insurance.

Bros no vex o. Though your analysis is good, but maka why are you crying more than the bereaved? Tstv wouldn't embark on such a multi-billion dollar project without doing due feasibility study and market survey. No one knows 100% how their product and bouquet prices are going to fare so stop jumping the gun jare.

Oga Calm down, we are not going to stream anything, it's a dish and satellite thing...

i guess like most people,you are emotional about tstv instead of thinking logically about the benefit and disadvantage of both dstv and tstv

Your hashtag just show you are anti intellectual and a gullible consumer.

For now, let's talk about what we've been told by TStv.
1. According to TStv, the 20gb data that is shipped with the decoder is just a value added service, not for streaming its channels. Data is not required to view its channels.

2. The decoder, dish, and first 30 day subscription costs N5,000.

3. It supports Wifi hotspoting, which other devices can connect to, hence be able to utilize its included data.

4. There are tiers of subscriptions, which are;
30days - 10gb data at N3,000
15days - 5gb data at N1,500
10days - 3gb data at N1,000
7days - 2gb data at N750
3days - 1gb data at N500
Daily - 500mb data at N200

5. All subscription tier will have access to all channels, in other words, no bouquet. The only difference is in the number days of validity.

6. The decoder has an inbuilt 500gb storage, with capability of unlimited expansion via an external storage. All subscription level will have PVR access, with no additional fee for PVR access, unlike DStv.

ABS and Telcom Satellites TV (TSTV) signed a multi-transponder agreement to deliver a Direct-to-Home (DTH) broadcast service into Nigeria on ABS-3A. With Glo,MTN and others launching satellites and their multi billion dollars investment in Nigeria,they haven't still been able to solve Nigerian internet connectivity and speed problems talk less of tstv

Now dstv are watching and seeing how things turn out,In my opinion if tstv is a real competitor, dstv will reduce price to compete and might launch gotv max service to compete.

I thought so, too! So why is thebosstrevor going on and on about internet connectivity? Nothing is going to be streamed via internet from what I can understand. The data bundles are just a value-added service - a sweetener to attract viewers to their product.

I just noticed TStv subscription options are already available on quickteller. According to TStv, after exhausting the included data, you can buy Data separately at the cost of N300/gb, which is quite cheap. According to the option below, there'll also be VOD (Video On Demand) service.

Let us hope TSTV lives up to its' promise. I pray TSTV gives DSTV a run for their money. Someone needs to shake DSTV out of their complacency. They have taken their viewers for granted, for far too long!

Can't wait to buy the decoder,

As long as the internet works forget Speed.

Bein Sports is a bae.. 1 to 12 aired all major matches across Europe, dstv only show laliga and EPL...

Alright... Let's wait and see, at least if the connection speed is good for browsing at 1mpbs is enough... Remember it's complementary

Bros i beg to differ. This is not about emotions. What you fail to acknowledge is that the TSTV coy. would have done their due diligence. You can't expect me to just accept your analysis and not reason that they have duly weighed their options before arriving at the current figures. That being said, i would want to believe they have identified a hitherto unexplored niche through which they plan to recoup their investments and even make huge ROI.

But what ever it is, you would agree with me that it is definitely gonna be a WIN-WIN outcome for end users like us. Healthy competition ushers in pocket friendly packages. So for me, this solely is enough for the time being. We patiently await to see how the world of data & satellite tv subscription evolve in 9ja

Time will tell if it is sustainable,we have seen competitors come and go,also we have seen competitors come with good packages and as time goes on,they change.
