Satellite TV Technology › Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by davodyguy:

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.

All RMC sports are live here
All beIN sports are live here.

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

Hope the switch wasn't too stressful.
Before nko?

We are strangers here, so expect those minor hiccups. Moreso, many people don't speak English here. I studied French for about 3 months in 2009, that helped me with some pronunciation. Once you say hello, next is la comprehend Francais' non anglais.

Luckily I bought this Tep Europe sim card. I kept getting in touch with our host. The guy was very helpful and kept sending travel guide

Guy, the cold here is something else.

Istanbul was child's play.

My wife told me a puff of "cloud smoke" billows out of my mouth, then I knew something's changing in my system.

I'm sorry to say, but the other woman that kept a boy in Dog's cage may also be from same state. The question should be why this same Imo state indigenes?

I know some people can be heartless, but they're are more common in Nigeria

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 24-year-old woman, Onyinye Mbadike who was in a viral video on social media, where she allegedly detained a boy in a dog kennel in Lagos.

Yeah, the suburbs are very quiet. Movement in Paris today is highly limited. Almost all the train stations are closed except the automated ones (M1 and M14) and most of the Trams.

If you intend to go out today with the fam, you can do an Uber or Taxi to Musée du Louvre (Louvre Musuem), then walk to Ponts des Arts (Love Bridge) and Arc de Triomphe as they are closeby. Thereafter, take another Uber to Eiffel Tower...and call it a day.
We have a big bus Tour around today.

My resident contact suggested we take 613 bus to AOLNAU and then take a train

What do you suggest?

Welcome to France and hope the journey was smooth.

Thanks

When filing your Schengen visa application form, if you indicated France and Amsterdam then Add both hotel bookings and show tour itinerary for both countries.
If you didnt indicate going to both countries on the form but just to France, do the itinerary for your days in Paris.
When your visa is out you can do as you please.
Exactly what we did.

Mentioned only France, but now due to strike, thinking of going to Amsterdam and Brussels/brugge

Hi,

So sorry about the whole thing.
The transport is still bad.
Which area are you planning to stay?
I live in France and maybe, just maybe my fiancé can take you and your family around one day. He loves that (no fees attached please).
He lives in Lyon and I live in Paris, but he wouldn't mind if he has the time.
He'll be coming today and leaving in like 8 days time.
So let me know if there's anything we do do or any advice we can give.
All the best.
Thanks for reaching out.

We should be arriving Paris Tomorrow by God's grace via Turkish airlines from Istanbul.

Since you stay in Paris, we can chat through mail. Wouldn't want to stress you or your fiance much, but you can just assist with directions to strategic places for family fun fair and shopping.

Paris is a bit too expensive for my liking and January is few days ahead and no one wants to spend money on tourism and become broke in January.

That's the plan.

We would be staying in Livry-Gangan

Thanks guys.

We had a 'blast' positively today.

Istanbul is so great, unfortunately we made a mistake booking 10 days stay in Paris.

Turkey at ₦65 to 1TL is cheaper than Paris at ₦406 to €1.

We are doing Kadikoy tomorrow.

Or for those that have been here tomorrow, where is it advisable to buy wares not too expensive in Istanbul?

Go lots of people to give souvenirs to. I'm not buying anything in Paris.

All shopping would be done here before entering Paris in Tuesday

Istanbul is not that bad, go to teksim square, nice place and cheap hotel, from there to bekistas stadium, board a cruise with 5lira to another city, if u have Istanbul card will be nice, try have google translator, Turkish can talk and relate in respect of your race. Enjoy
Thanks

Atleast I won't have high hopes. I can do like 24hrs transit or 2days lol.
You can have fun.

But if you're going with a minor, please watch him or her.

My son, just locked this jam lock and we needed to get a carpenter in Istanbul. The guy fixed the door and charged $15. It took him less than 2 mins.

Same thing I'll call Ibrahim in Lagos to fix for ₦500 or at most ₦1000, I ended up paying ₦5200.

But it's part of experience and can't beat the boy

What was your expectation? I haven't been there though but sometimes some of these countries are over rated.
This place is a junk ground like Ajegunle or Ìsàlè Eko.

It's because they dashed us Visa for $40 each, that I decided to spend 3 days here.

Not worth it one bit.

Taxi drivers don't speak English, Hotel attendants don't speak English, we started communicating with signs and hands.

The damn cold is killing. The heater can't even prevent me from having flu like symptoms.
