Dam5reey:What I'll advice is that you search for and join the Boom Boom TV Facebook group. Once you're accepted, send a private message to Tyler Lee-Pelley that you want the 4hr trial. He's so very responsive. If you're satisfied with the service, you can proceed to www.boomboomhosting.com/ to purchase a subscription. Like I said earlier, it costs $9.50/month which you can use on 2 devices simultaneously. If you have any issues, send me a mail to dele.cyber@yahoo.com and let's exchange numbers. 1 Like |

Infinitikoncept:For Live TV experience, I have tried CastTV, NitroTV, SETTV, LEDTV and Boomboom TV. What I did was to get a few hours trial or up-to 3 days to get to use these IPTV services in order to know which one meets my needs and expectations. Of all, I'd say NitroTV didn't quite sit well with me because you are limited to one connection i.e. you're allowed to install and view on one device only and it costs a whooping $20/month. Any additional device installation will mean an additional expense. These IPTV services cost money no doubt ranging from $5 - $25 per month, but that's not to say that there aren't a lot of apps/apks you could install to enjoy some free viewing. What I don't like about them is that they're mostly unreliable. You could try Mobdro, LiveNetTV, UKTVNow, Solid Streamz, WSS, etc. For one month, I tried SETTV, but the UK entertainment /sports channels freeze like crazy and so I don't bother tuning to any. And so the decision to try another became intense. Right now, I have subscribed to a 3-month access to Boomboom TV after a few hours of trial and I was convinced that I had found a good one. There are a number of ways of setting up Boomboom TV which include Kodi (I'm not a fan at all), Perfect Player, Smart IPTV, etc. The one I found most convenient was downloading Perfect Player right from Google Playstore and setting it up on my Android TV box with the m3u and EPG (electronic programmers guide) URLs I got after subscription. The beauty of this is that it costs just $9.5/month and paying for 3 months cost me $25.5 and using $375/$1 came to N9,562.50 using my Visa card from Access bank. And so, if my wife/kids colonize the TV, I simply switch to my phone and I'm kept busy. As far as I'm concerned, DSTV is just overrated. I get a whole lot more online than being stuck with those South Africans. 2 Likes

So far, I've come to realize that paid IPTV will give you that desired user experience especially as it relates to Live TV. Using them for videos on demand will work well though. And so, for the next three (3) months, I'll be using one I just paid for which I feel is the best I have tried in terms of reliability and pricing. |

eledalo:You couldn't have said it any better. I checked yesterday's Uber weekender and looked out for the highest earnings for the previous week and it was conspicuously missing. You should've seen the grin on my face. In all of this wahala, I feel the most for guys who took out loans just to operate on Uber/Taxify. I have since Wednesday withdrawn my cars off the road. I can't even begin to reconcile all of this. 1 Like |

OlugbengaE:Honestly, I fail to understand why guys can't do simple maths to understand that with these new rates whether Taxify decides to take zero percent (0%) commission or Uber takes its 25% commission, it just doesn't pay anymore to be on the road. My take is only the stubborn ones will decide to brave this slavery, but only time will tell how many of them will continue with Uber and Taxify. Even Oga Taxi now has similar rates (N200 base fare/N5 per minute/N55 per km). Let's see how far they can go when they are no longer able to meet up with rental fees/fuelling/maintenance costs and personal obligations. I have 2 cars I personally drive registered with the 2 dominant companies, but I'm no slave to enrich anyone. My cars are off the road until such a time when Uber and Taxify decide to have a brain reset to default. 2 Likes

The end game for partner/drivers is that Uber and Taxify are no longer a profitable venture. The 20k you made last week has effectively been halved. For you to make that same 20k, what it means is that you're going to have to travel twice the distance you covered last week. So, assuming you spent 3k on fuelling to achieve that 20k of last week, you'd have to spend double that i.e. 6k to get that same 20k. Does this make any economic sense? Guys, do your maths properly and don't be fooled by Uber's top-up game. It's all semantics like they always do. Shine ya eye! 6 Likes |

It will be very interesting to see how many partners/drivers will be able to cope with this fare reduction and still find it sustainable. To break-even will become more tasking in my opinion. Uber new rates go live tomorrow at 12noon which makes it at par with the Taxify offering. Both companies throw up the excuse that the reduced fares will inspire riders to take more trips. That's true no doubt, but have they considered the commensurate increase in the wear and tear of the cars?Bearing in mind that costs of vehicle parts in Nigeria like other commodities are soaring higher by the day without any hope of coming down, many partners/drivers are going to resort to "managing" the wear and tear. Riders should just get ready to make so much noise about riding in jalopies. I can just picture the yellow cab baba smiling at this new development. 3 Likes |

Lacomb:You're welcome back to Lasgidi. Lucky you that SolidStreamz worked on your box. I have only just opened it for the first time after a long while after reading your comment cos it crashes anytime I try to go out of any channel back to the main menu. Besides, the channels freeze like crazy. This isn't fun for me. At the moment, I paid for the IPTV called SETTV which cost $20 (N6,400 using my GTB card) and my subscription expires on May 10 after which I'm going to try out something else. There are a couple of other paid IPTVs I'm assessing like NitroTV, LEDTV, CastTV. Of all, CastTv is my favourite cos I tried it out for 2 days and it was awesome with fantastic HD picture quality. Freezing of channels was least experienced on it unlike others. The only problem I'm having with them is the mode of payment. Their system isn't quite developed to accept debit/credit cards yet. Just IBAN numbers and some other details of which I can't shout if the transaction goes south. Personally, I'm not a KODI fan. Have you tried LiveNetTV, Mobdro, UKTVNow, New CloudTV (all for live TV), HDOnline, Terrarium, Newest Movies HD, Movies HD, MegaBox HD, ShowBox (all for your favourite movies and TV shows) and also TVNow (download this from Google PlayStore for your Nigerian/foreign channels like GalaxyTV, Silverbird, Channels, LTV, DW, Al Jazeera, VOA, etc)? Lest I forget, what TV box did you get? 4 Likes |

Exploring the Android TV box I got recently has continued to prove interesting as the days go by. Basically, I got it because I was tired of the boring nature of DSTV. Ever since taking delivery, I have tried all manner of apps/apks ranging from the free ones like UKTVNow, SolidStreamz, Mobdro, LiveNETTv all for Live TV down to the paid apps like SETTV, NitroTV, LEDTV and CastTV. What I have noticed like others too might have is that the free apps aren't so reliable. At the moment, I subscribed to a 1-month access to SETTV which costs $20/month. I did this after trying out their 3-day trial offer. But just today after receiving the setup details for a 1-day trial offer from CastTV and then setting it up using the Perfect Player app downloaded from Google PlayStore, I must say I'm really impressed with the quality of the channels on their platform. I just might continue with CastTV once my subscription to SETTV expires. This will take care of the live TV while apps like ShowBox, Terrarium, MegaboxHD, HDOnline will take care of my movie needs. I'd very much love and appreciate it if anyone could hook me up with any other app/apk I haven't tried out so far. Cheers 1 Like

priceaction:You're welcome, anytime. For me, acquiring the Android TV box was a way of getting rid of DSTV. I used to do the Compact bouquet which costs 6k/month and I'm sure you know how boring DSTV can be most times. Let nobody kid you, a good Internet service will make the experience pleasurable. I'm not limited in any way as I have access to unlimited downloads via my internet service provider. So, Internet access is one key component you need to consider wisely in weighing your options. 6 Likes |

priceaction:Hi, I don't have any games on my own box set at the moment, but from videos I've watched so far, installing games wouldn't be a problem which of course you can use offline. It works just the way your phone ordinarily does while you play your games offline. The essence of the box really is to do away with your cable dish in the long-run or at best serve as an additional content provider and so why do you contemplate a connection? Having a Smart TV only ups your possibilities e.g. installing the m3u playlists to use on the IPTV feature and a few others. But then, the good old LCD TV will work just fine with any regular Android TV box. Just make sure the TV has the HDMI port for connection with the box. Though some boxes use the traditional AV cables (the red, yellow and white cables) for connecting to the TV, I will shy away from those anytime, any day as the HDMI will always give you better picture clarity. To prove this, check out the Dstv Zapper or Explorer decoder. Any good TV box worth its salt will give you HD or even 4K features. You only need to do your research properly by sieving through the myriads of TV boxes available out there that meet your needs. I advice you buy a box that comes with the Android OS version 6.0 and above. Without the Internet, well you can still play your games. And just like @iliyande said, his own kinda box could give you access to some free to air channels if the right connections are made. There are lots of TV boxes out there to choose from based on factors like price, specifications, etc. Download the AliExpress app on your Android phone and search with the keywords "Android TV box' and you'd be amazed with what you're presented.

If you experience incessant crashes and your phone restarting at will whenever you use the fingerprint scanner in waking up your phone after the upgrade to Nougat, you might want to disable the fingerprint scanner and just simply use the PIN or password for that instead. It worked for me. |

passendi:Yes, going by the various videos I've seen on YouTube analyzing the Xiaomi Mi box, it sure is a good product. The only thing I seem not comfortable with is the fact that it has no Ethernet port for the LAN cable. I agree one could by an additional device sporting the LAN port, why do I have to incur additional expenses for this? You know Wi-Fi isn't as reliable as the good old hard-wiring. I'm very much satisfied with the Beelink Mini box I have at the moment. 1 Like
