God bless you dearie! kiss kiss Seyi is beginning to think highly of himself honestly especially with that team negligence of yesterday's task.
Why don't you try to be objective?
What happened yesterday was cleared up.

They're about to rehearse, Mike brought up a topic that's no related to the task for discourse. Seyi said he's not ready for that, Mike kept on. Seyi was extremely upset, then walked away to avoid replying Mike and they get into a fight.

They later settled and Mike was told stop being overzealous, and learn to stop when told to.

being objective wouldn't kill you. We know many of you dislike Seyi, but try to be objective

ben1daEbiri:
You are not getting my point. The "feed" I refer to isn't the one you're talking about.
For any two or more ways communication, data must be sent and received across these paths and hence it's a feed.
The feed we all hunt for isn't the same feed which these contents are "originally" transmitted on.
There are cameras across the several stadia to record each event/game; This doesn't mean DSTV have cameras there, the camera provides every "content distributor" with these feeds before they're been broadcasted to us,that's were IMG and all the rest comes to play.
Sorry I was way to ambiguous with regards to the term "feed"
@ the highlighted, great that you clarified.

What we are talking about has something to do with the satellite DSTV gets the contents from.
Yes we all agree that content provider is IMG. IMG then pacakges these contents into several channels (majorly on days of same kick off at various centres) and transmit them to DSTV through 'feeds'

But we in Nigeria are not sure of the satellite through which DSTV gets these contents.

For the German league, Sportec Solutions does what IMG is doing in England.
From their site i copied this

Collection and delivery of the official match data for clubs, licensees and partners of DFL through a data interface and data feeds. Another important data subscriber within DFL is Sportcast, for example as part of World Feed, receivable in over 200 countries, as well as DFL Digital Sports GmbH, DFL’s content subsidiary for all digital channels.
As for the bundesliga, I'm not sure they are well secured as that of the EPL. They are using 8 degrees west to 'feed' startimes who them encode and send to us on DTH and DTT. Startimes broadcast bundesliga English and French to all Sub-Saharan Africa comprising South Africa, West Africa and East Africa. beIN Sports Arabia controls MENA


It's good we have this kind of discourse once in a while, after all its part of Satellite TV

cheers

Predator188:
Note for every live sports events (football) there must be a feed!
What is a feed: A feed is term used to describe a process of inserting an object into a device or moving data into another location.
Google what a backhaul means, A backhaul is also referred to as a clean feed.
BT sports and Sky sports are the major rights holders to broadcast EPL matches in the UK, but the content provider is Arqiva. Check about (www.arqiva.com) arqiva is responsible to deliver English premier league for SKY and BT sports in UK and around the globe,direct from the stadium using all necessary transmission equipments to deliver the content as backhaul services.
Arqiva has frequencies in some satellites to distribute live EPL matches to pay TV providers while Sky or BT sports is the content owner.
what it means is that EPL is delivered from only one source which is arqiva .For DSTV to show English premier league they will go through Sky sports to deliver the content to the pay TV subscribers...super sports Dstv only affiliates from Sky sports and direct from a feed if not., you will see Sky sports logo on super sports Dstv channel.
I just don't want to get into frivolous argument.

After reading his post, I just gave up on his misinformation and then took my time to study how EPL distribute their content world wide to Paytv operators who then provide the contents to us at home.

There is no way any Paytv would operate without getting Signal from Satellite feed. What some of the broadcast organization does is to have a satellite which them may not disclose to anyone save the Paytvs they are sending signals to. Hence, this contents are available 24/7 which can then be redistributed.

DSTV is head quartered in South Africa. All the EPL contents you watch on Super 1 to 10 is sent to them through dedicated channels on the satellite/feed. DSTV doesn't have cameras or OB vans in England.

I checked https://www.arqiva.com/case-studies/arqiva-and-plp-deliver-premier-league-football-to-the-world/

I'll extract the key parts in quote below

Arqiva and PLP deliver Premier League football to the world
Considered to be the greatest football league in the world, the Premier League is broadcast to 900 million households in over 200 territories - a colossal feat that is reliant on Arqiva’s satellite distribution services.
Fact 1, DSTV is been fed through Satellite, likewise Startimes. They don't have cameras in all 20 Stadia in England, neither does Startimes have cameras in all 18 Stadia in the Bundesliga

Arqiva has been involved in the global satellite distribution of the world’s most competitive and compelling football league since 2007, helping to deliver the Premier League to an estimated audience of 4.7 billion viewers in hundreds of territories.

The close working partnership enjoyed by Arqiva and IMG’s Premier League Productions (PLP) has allowed for the consistent global delivery of high-quality football content during the past nine seasons.
Fact number 2, they have been doing this since 2007

An introduction to IMG and PLP
IMG is a global leader in sports, events, media and fashion. Operating across more than 30 countries, it represents and manages many high-profile sports and fashion figures; stages hundreds of live events each year; and is one of the world’s largest independent producers and distributors of sports media.
Premier League Productions, a partnership between the Premier League and IMG, produces and distributes all the Premier League’s international programming. This includes coverage of all 380 Premier League matches each season, a catalogue of supplementary programming and the Premier League Content Service and a 24/7/365 High Definition ‘Channel’ for international licensees outside Europe.
Number IMG and PLP owns the production including cameras etc

Constant support
During every live match PLP and the broadcasters have access to a dedicated help desk to manage any technical difficulties encountered during transmission. This service is manned throughout every match day, with engineers ready to respond to all manner of situations. Whatever the challenge, the help desk means it can be handled quickly and with minimal fuss.

What’s more, the fact that all Premier League feeds are monitored closely at Arqiva’s Master Control Room (MCR) helps to ensure a smooth and consistent service throughout each season.
This part nailed his argument to the grave.

EPL is delivered through Feed.

End of discussion
There are two major Paytv operators in Nigeria at the Moment.

DSTV from SA and
Startimes from China

DSTV owns the right for EPL, LaLiga, Serie A and UCL. They have an alliance with the content owners, who provides a link to DSTV to get all contents, which DSTV then encodes and you'll need their decoder to decode the contents. These contents are not provided through web. No way, cos it would be very expensive streaming such heavy HD contents. Hence, they're distributed through Satellite feeds, which is cheaper and can be encrypted using some of the latest technologies available.
TV/MoviesRe: BBNaija 2019 Live Updates (Big Brother Naija 2019 Thread) by davodyguy: 12:25am On Aug 16, 2019

It was a nice Saturday night on October 31, 1959. People were settling in their beds, when suddenly their TV screens lit up.
The logo on the screen said ‘Western Nigeria Television’, or WNTV for short. That logo signified the success of Obafemi Awolowo, then-Premier of the Western Nigerian Region

That day marked the first broadcast of Nigerian television, which, significantly, was also the first broadcast of Tropical African television. The first TV station in Nigeria was located in Ibadan. The first chairperson to be appointed to the station was Olapade Obisesan.
I just heard that Seyi's grandpa was responsible for Nigeria's first television station and in fact the first in tropical Africa?

Hahahahahahahaha, no wonder Seyi's doing yanga.

This record can't be beaten. Hahahahahahahaha, Pa Awolowo is the true father of modern Nigeria hahahahahahahaha.

BluntTheApostle:
Because Azikwe and his Northern masters were short-sighted. Awolowo never called for a secession. Rather, he called for a secession clause.

Well, I guess he was smarter than all the others.

When a secession faced the country, how would you have expected a patriot to back down from a call to service. Awolowo would have respected a secession if there was a secession clause.

In the absence of a secession clause, Ojukwu was a criminal to Awolowo.
Ọgá you're doing well.

Fire on.

I swear I'm learning from you.

In the next cabinet meeting after swearing in the ministers, I'll suggest that you should be engaged to teach History, in order to state the facts

TSRC:
Azikiwe teamed up with the north to crush a secessionist.
There was no way he could envisioned that Nigeria would be a mess today.
The same way awolowo teamed up with Gowon to stop.Ojukwu because the politics now favoured him.

Calling awolowo a Nigerian patriot is stretching it.
Of course he was.

Ojuiku wanted to use 'back door' to achieve what Zik and his northern partners killed in 1953, Awolowo Has to support a United Nigeria that saw Ojuiku lose the war.

One team work was an error, the other team work is why you're a Nigerian today without the war continuing endlessly

I even watched the entire scenario just now....
Seyi wanted to discuss the task, Mike wanted to discuss the dimension of the earth... Seyi says, he'd defend it when he likes and they should focus on important matters.... Mike started talking ranting about HOH, leadership and sensitivity... Dude had to walk away, even Venita had to question mikes motives...
Mike pissed him off, it is only sensible for him to have filled his boots in his absense, he couldn't do that...
Izz a simple sturvs..
We've said earlier when the matter first came, Mike had the intention to attack Seyi. What played out today was the real Mike.

That's exactly what happened. Other team members knew Mike was being mischievous today and the team paid heavily for his immaturity.

Seyi said he was pissed and inorder not to have said things that the House mates would have accused him of going overboard, he chose the path of honor, which is walking away to cool off

BluntTheApostle:
Before you spew any further falsehood, let me correct impression.

In the London Constitutional Conference of 1953 , Awolowo asked that a session clause be included since Nigeria was an experiment that might fail.

Your Azikwe teamed up with the North to crush Awolowo's concern. If only your people had listened to Awolowo, we won't be in the mess that we are in today and we won't need to be blaming Lord Lugard all the time.

Awolowo was a patriot. As a thinker, he knew that Nigeria was an experiment that could fail. He was also suspicious of many things, especially about events that culminated to the appointment of Tafawa Balewa prior to 1960.
Ọgá, respect for you.
You Sabi history well oo.

Ceremonial president. He was a mere head of state.

He was nowhere as responsible for state policies as Awolowo was as premier.

Yes, the comparisons are unhealthy. But when someone tries to elavate Azikwe over Awolowo, I make sure to let them know that in the 50s and 60s, Awolowo was the most popular Nigerian politician. Aside nationalism, I don't see how Azikwe is relevant in political discussion. When you mention federalism in Africa, it is impossible not to mention Awolowo.

He clearly dwarfed everyone else in that era.
