Sorry to break this to you. But this is an iptv service sold online. The Smarttv app is from available on samsung shop. It's a paid app but allows you to watch for a week or so, not sure of the days but you will have to pay to continue its use costing around $6.
You then have to buy an iptv account which will be given to you as a playlist, usually ending as m3u .... you put the file name or playlist into the smarttvapp and it validates the link and you can watch your iptv account on it. What you need is good internet speed.
The one my host is using cost €50 per annum for all channels.

There's no Paytv receivable in Nigeria as of today that can match the content in terms of number of channels or premium contents.

Turkish league, Tunisian league, Moroccan league, EPL, UCL, all UFC, Tennis, Golf etc are all live. If your kids wants entertainment, over 500 kiddies programmes are available.

Hotbird and 9e can only try, but can't match this app.
As you said, network is a challenge.

We are using LTE+ here in France, close to 5g

IYGEAL:
Nigeria's problem can be summarized with four key areas - slow/fluctuating internet, disheartening power supply, near-total insecurity and corruption.


Unfortunately, if you bring that TV over here, it would be almost useless because ISPs here can't supply the kind of data speed a true 4K channel requires to run. In fact, if they could do that, of course some of us who can afford data would do away with anything dish and fully embrace IPTV.

I ordered for Netgear's Nighthawk M2 mobile Wi-Fi capable of downloading files at 2GBs/s, but who has witnessed a download speed of up to 50MBs/s in this country? I just ordered it with 'future' in my mind, plus it's unlocked and can accept any SIM with appropriate bands, so I can use it if I eventually leave these shores.

This is the state of our country. A sad one.
I'm not sure any of our Network can support it as of now.

Our own '4g LTE' is comparable to 3.75g of other nations.

It's going to be terrible in Nigeria

notin wey God no fit do,,naa our papa land, we just need to be prayerful
My brother, I agree it's our land.

I can't leave Nigeria now cause I have a business and staff are under my employment with monthly salaries. However for those who are not in that position and seeking good life for themselves and kids, it's best you migrate.

I'm sure Danfo Driver's must have showed u pepper before.

I'm sure you must have gone to the hospital with Doctors giving you excuses or you hear Doctors on strike.

I'm Police may have said 'wetin you carry before'

I'm sure roads leading to your house must be bad.

I'm sure you have a generator or inverter because of epileptic power supply.

I'm sure your GSM network provider may have ripped you off before or bad network

These are things that are not available in developed countries.

I do shed tears when I see people suffer and pray daily for people to enjoy good life in Nigeria.

I cry when driving from my house to the Island via 3rd Mainland Bridge with kids Hawking sachet water.

Even on this thread, I see how people crave for premium TV channels and are relying on FTA just because they may not be able to afford ₦14,000 per month Paytv.

Here's the difference. With €15 per month, you get super fast internet unlimited and you'll be earning about €3000 a month as Salary. Do the conversation at ₦407 exchange rate

In Nigeria, Ntel sells unlimited for ₦17,000 and you'll still have poor coverage. Someone earning ₦50,000 a month, from which he would take transportation, buy fuel in generator, Pay IKEDC or EKEDC, pay security levy and pay taxes, how would he get good quality life?

That's why I'm upset with the system in Nigeria

For anyone interested, some details below

Price at €799*₦407= ₦325,000

Cheaper than I thought and it's 65 inches wide, with full 4k features. 4k is an advanced Technology which very few boxes operates on presently.

Some channels on Hotbird 13e are 4k. Some of the popular decoders can't show their pictures. Example is Canal 4k which can't be watched on Strong decoder

Hi,
So sorry I'm just responding.
I was admitted in the hospital before Christmas and gave birth before the expected date. I'm still in here.
I hope your holiday is going on not so bad...
Had to check Livry Gargan online; Never heard of it... It's quite some transport distance from Paris and I can imagine what you must have gone through so far.
I do wish you as much fun as possible though.
Eeya

Hope you're doing well now.

We are trying to survive but it's unfortunate the timing of our trip. Transportation here is chaotic and I don't want to be spending on Taxis. The exchange rate is Crazy. ₦407 to €1

It's cheaper on RATP and RER.

For us to get to Paris daily, we must get to Gare Aulnay Sous Bois and then Gare Du Nord. Then the weather is not too cool for us resident in Nigeria and used to 30°. Now we are doing 8°

Hello Sor i will like to ask if you can help with the Brand Name of the Tv and the Model Number this will help to know the follow come app

I've search for Smart Tv app what I'm seeing is that it is a combination of different streaming app for Samsung Tv
Just as I said, the TV is Samsung, but details written in French language

Model is UE58MU6125K
TYPE: UE58MU6125

If I find this TV in Nigeria when I return, I'll surely buy and forget about satellite dish

This is full HD live Streaming with Orange France. No single buffering. 101% stable. This is not what any of our ISPs can offer. Non of them can offer this kind of speed and stability

After watching Norwich City vs Tottenham, now it's Burnley vs Man United. Second half now courtesy RMC Sport 1 live streaming.

ISP is Orange, France. I snapped an image of the internet Box. It's unlimited download.

Maybe when God decides to intervene in Nigeria, our country will become better

I'm yet to see a single dish in the entire Livry-Gangan here in Paris. I guess with very strong internet, many people opted for IPTV.

I was in Istanbul, Turkey between December 21 to 24th before coming to Paris. Didn't sight a single dish as well.

Back in Nigeria, I bought a 4 metre dish in November dish year for Hotbird 13 and 9e. Now I'm laughing at myself.

Nigeria is not worthy of being called a country.

I've attached some details about the TV.

If you can search for it. This is France and most equipment features are written in French language.

But with these features (especially 4K) it can't be less than ₦500,000 to a little below ₦1,000,000

Your travel profile looks good that should speak well in their favour however, if your wife is employed she should include her work documentation as well as her bank statement irrespective of the sponsor and bank balance as at the day of printing.
If she is a homemaker, do well to include a detailed letter of introduction for her and also her bank statement irrespective of the sponsorship. This goes to show she has a financial standing even as a homemaker.

Lastly , it's more of your responsibility as the sponsor to provide everything as required for the application.
For tours its ideal you get cancellable /refundable tours. Check Expedia tours. Read the terms and conditions that apply.
I think you're right.

Please house is there an Android TV box that also have access to free to air stations. If there is please what's the name. I need it. Thanks
There's this particular one I'm watching here in Paris, France but I think it's in built into the TV.

The app is called Smart TV app with over 5000 channels.

I'll ask my host how he did it. But the TV is a smart TV with 4k features, cos I've tried downloading SmartTV app on regular Android TV box but non is working.

All the channels are available, but don't know if it's free.

The network ISP is Orange France and it's super fast. They operate on 4G+ with speed of light.

All countries have channels featured and since my Arrival in Paris on 24th December, I've been watching Nigeria channels.

Will snap some images.

No society is free from crimes and criminals, and it's also not possible for the system to apprehend them all.

I was almost robbed today at the Subway at Gare Du Nord in Paris.

Due to the protests today, most of the buses didn't operate fully and we were forced to use Subway enroute to Louvre via Chǎtelet

At M4 platform as we were about entering the train, I just saw a white fist reaching for my pocket in an attempt to pull out my purse and phone. My Naija sense at play, I caught the lady and hit her fist off.

A lot of people in the train then said that's how they do in Paris, stealing purses and phones.

I had ₦20,000
$78
€700 in the purse.

That would have been disastrous in this Buhariconomics.

Anyone coming to France now should watch it and wait till after the strike

Hello everyone.

Compliments of the season.

Thanks to everyone who has made this thread active especially to folks like@femijck
@ugsams who have selflessly poured out their knowledge to help others.

I applied for the Edmund Hilllary Fellwowship programme (www.ehf.org) which brings impact makers from around the world to New Zealand to lead change from the country. Fellows are granted the exclusive Global impact Visa (GIV) which is a three year open work visa that leads to permanent residence status. Unfortunately after going through the rigorous multi layered selection stages and getting to the finals my candidacy wasn’t successful at this time. However I was advised that in order to strengthen my candidacy that i will need to make a short visit trip first to New Zealand in order to better understudy how things work in that terrain .So I am at the point of planning that trip now and would want to seek out your advice which is a bit confidential and cannot be shared here .

So please @femijck @ugsams @Ticha @SAT123 @davodyguy . Can I pm you and if possible also do email exchanges .

Thanks for your continued support and God bless.
Take your time to study this thread on visit Visa.

Follow the exchanges between Myself, Ugsam and Femijck, see how they advised me and how our visas were obtained in July and August, 2019.

I'm in Paris now, having being in Istanbul few days ago.

I read carefully the France thread and did exchanges on the thread with people who applied same way.

So, I'll advice you read this thread from June to December, 2019
