Netflix is not an alternative to dstv. They are different. U can subscribe for DStv and let it play whatever program u want from morning till night at no extra cost. Lest say u subscribe to the cheapest DStv plan which is N2,000, u can watch news, cartoons, africa magic, telemundo, selected sports channels, etc for as much as u want.

With Netflix the cheapest plan is around N3, 600. Ur gonna need a fast internet to be able to stream and u don't get news or sports, just movies and shows (and they have a lot). If u stream a lot u might end up spending more than N15, 000 month on data depending on what video quality u set it to.

U are downloading on high video quality. Change ur video quality to standard. Funny thing is of u are watching on phone there's hardly any difference between standard and high quality (unless ur using a tablet with bigger display).

There's absolutely no need to be rude.

Even at 2k subscription, greenhulk is right, Dstv is still cheaper...

If u are watching on TV there's a big difference. On phone no much of a difference. If ur phone doesn't support HDR and ur watching her movie it won't make any difference.

Don't get it twisted Netflix can't replace DStv but can rather supplement it. This is because Netflix only offers movies, TV series and documentaries. How do you now cater for live news & updates, music and other satellite exclusives like reality shows?

My advice is you downgrade your DStv subscription then use the balance for Netflix and data subscriptions.

The choice is yours

There are other apps that show live tv and news if there is unlimited data. Dstv is a scam, they like repeating movies

No doubt about that. DStv is sadly the necessary evil since no worthy competitor has presented itself yet.

Remember she wants an alternative to DStv and the cheapest unlimited data plan is still more expensive than a DStv premium sub.

Good for u. I only occasionally watch Netflix on my phone and normal quality is good enough for me as I don't see much difference with high quality. Where u will see difference is on smart TV which is where I watch the most.

Netflix is not an alternative to DStv, it's a complement to DStv. I never heard of 1,500 unlimited night plan, even if it exists and u download ur Netflix movies on ur phone or tablet, what happens when u have visitors at home? Do u play movies for them to watch on ur phone? It's cheaper to subscribe the cheapest DStv plan and then complement it with Netflix. U cannot download Netflix movies on tv, u have to stream it.

I'm pretty sure u don't have more movies on ur hard drive than I do. Which ones u want, just name it I got it. Even have some movies in 4k HDR. Some of my 4k HDR movies are 13-18gb in size for 1 movie.

I have loads of movies on my hard drive even looking for new movies to download every day. Still cannot be an alternative to DStv. I don't watch movies on DStv (why would I when I can just download it on torrent at better quality). But still Netflix or movie downloads can never be a replacement for DStv. Movies go tire u.
