EMMAACHILE:
Its unnecessary on watching TV to get this size. Its depends on each persons preference anyway.

Whatever rocks your boat. If you have the money and the space, why not? Its not unnecessary for enthusiast that wants to throw cash around. I can also do it too. Only Astra 19.2 east gives me the bundesliga coverage unrivaled.

EMMAACHILE:
@davodyguy
I can see these things are too complicated for you. The best option is for you to get the bigger dish.

Lol. Read pages few pages on what alvins4ull wants. What is complicated getting a dish or installing it or

I have been having discussion with the man from other threads. He's just looking for the easiest and non complex way out, since he admitted he's a newbie. There's no harm for a starter to get everything needed, get an installer and start from the easiest and the simplest way out.

Telling him to go the w3a way for data reminds me of those days of microbox and avatar. lol. no IKS back then and it was two dishes. One for 36 east and the other for w3a

That's a 6 metres dish with industrial Jack

alvins4ull:
Space is not a problem but getting the dish is a real one.I learnt locally made can not be compared to foreign or imported one.

I don't know about that oo and wouldn't comment about it either. What i know is that, the Aluminium dishes we get in local market are imported from china, but the fibre dishes are fabricated locally. My own 4 metre dish was acquired in 2007 and its a local fabrication. The only Nairalander that i know of, who imported a grad one 5m is Butoneday in warri. I was told he spent close to N1million to get it in. The dish is comparable to those ones you find in NTA or AIT.

alvins4ull:
Thank you very much i'll appreciate that God bless you sir.

Oga, I'll advice you to go for a 4m dish if you have space in your house. Get Hotbird and one of these IKS boxes. I can see these things are too complicated for you. The best option is for you to get the bigger dish.

I have this Kodi Tv on my Laptop and 30mins Stream of BBC, CNN, TLC, Skysports 1, British Eurosport and True movies 1, has taking away almost 300Mb from my Spectranet broadband internet data. It makes a lot of sense but can never comparable to normal TV.

For you a newbie, Get the dish, thats if the cash is available and also the space in your house, so as not to infringe on others' right of way

YES including Africa Magic and Orisun

Talibanis:
U forget to mention at a cost.....unlimited expensive data which might not be within ur locale!

Abi o. Data consumption alone is as high as 300MB for a complete footbal match, If not more. Also if the network is not strong enough in your area, forget it

Available

Boss13:
Davo, I think you should learn how to communicate without either being sarcastic or appear to be insultive.

I think you should learn to read with open mind, so as not to appear presumptuous in forming your opinion

Boss13:
I do not intend to quote your previous comment, but you literally mentioned "if a lady visits your house" and that implies trying to impress your guest. Hence, a spinoff with Impression being the main content of my previous comment.

That's where you got it wrong. The other part of the same line you aligned with in the post says 'A lady or my school friends back in the university came visiting'
You trying to align with the gender and thereafter emphasizing on it makes your your response look lopsided. Also, i have clarified the kind of impression I'm talking about, which has nothing to do with the prejudice word 'Low Self esteem syndrome'

Boss13:
In response to this comment, I think the keyword is Preference, after thorough consideration of the challenges and benefits accrued to both platforms (IPTV and Regular Dish). I have stated in my previous comments that I do not intend to incur the wrath of my estate management and neighbors because I want to watch TV. Sequel to this, an IPTV would be sufficient for me.

I agree on this. For you it's sufficient and i think for foreign movies lovers and all sport lovers too. It would be unwise for anyone of us to try to mount 3m dish in a rented apartment. It doesnt even matter as much as it would be in a situation where there's space constraint and one chooses to mount a big dish and encroach on the space of other without an easement.

Boss13:
Apart from watching Live TV channels, IPTV still has the advantage of enabling its users view movies and TV shows of their choice. IPTV is the future; Apple is working on it and Tim Cook (CEO of Apple) has promised to change the television industry. However, the expensive data cost in Africa is a huge limitation.

Yes and No. In Nigeria that you and i are based isnt really ready for anything if we wouldnt be fooling ourselves. Look at Data cost for instance, does it make any sense? Look at the silly regulatory body NCC, are they really helping anyone? Look at the CPC, are they really protecting the consumers? MTN network is very poor in my house. AIRTEL, GLO and ETISALAT arent better either. Lets go to the Broadband ISP Swift 4G average. Spectranet will have 3 level signal strength out of 5. So IPTV requires high level DATA speed. I have IPTV boxes at home and its very annoying trying to watch live matches. I watched Man u vs Chelsea game 2 or 3 Sundays ago and it was hell. The freezing is comparable to that of qsat.

Picture quality, IPTV is incomparable
Local programmes like local Nigerian contents, IPTV scores 0/100. No Nollywood movies, local channels for local contents etc
Cost is on the high side compared with alternatives

Boss13:
Davo, my first sentence is not to spite you, but to draw your attention to your communication mindset and I must also thank you and others in the forum for the knowledge I have gained so far.

Thanks for your time too. We will keep learning from ourselves till the day we breathe our last breath

We have a Well Improved 4 Bedroom Detached House with fully fitted Kitchen, having modern equipments +BQ @ Northern Foreshore Estate, Chevron drive, Lekki, Lagos. The property is exquisite and recently painted. Everything looking radiant in the house and the design is different internally from the regular 4 bedroom houses in the estate.

For information, call 07084030087 or 08039160360

mercyitodo:
Irib doesn't show more than two german matches a week.
Others on that list are poor quality.

Dubai sport is also poor quality?

I see you're a learner in this business. Picture quality of Dubai Sport is equal to what you get on DSTV

mercyitodo:
Which FTA shows bundesliga? Lol

Smh.

GTV STV2, Irib, Dubai Sport and many more

alvins4ull:
Sir please which among all this decoder is best interms of quality,durability and effectiveness.tlink t900hd,ibox 3030,ibox diamond 11 and Tiger z series.Thanks in anticipation.

They serve almost same purposes

Android boxes are for IPTV, whilst the other ones can be used as you use your strong decoder

BRB

mercyitodo:
It depends on you. I will never go for a 3m dish. I will always pick an android box over it.

I sold my 2.4m dish to get money for starsat dish and will use the balance to get an android box.

FTA is boring and I need to enjoy myself because life is short.

If you read my prologue about choices at the previous page, then you'll understand my position.

I as a person isn't the movie Frick.

I love watching the bundesliga and only the bundesliga. In Nigeria today, DSTV and Startimes are the only options to watch it, Save Dubai sport on 4metres and Be in sport. I heard that star times has acquired the right to air the bundesliga from season 2015/16 for 3 years in place of DSTV.

What I'll be using this box for is to watch German league matches that aren't available on DSTV, Star times or FTA. AFrica Magic Yoruba and AM urban and AM Showcase makes a lot of sense to me.

Sky movies, ITV etc can relax. Its FTA, Paytv and IPTV in that order for me

Abeg enough of all these

Left church around 11:00am this morning and drove straight to the gas station close to the deeper Christian Life church in gbagada and bought full tank of petrol with no queue.

The thing has started easing off

Blackshort:
whatever. Opinions are like noses, sir.

I agree with you. Just that sometimes 'our' opinion can be out of place.

mercyitodo:
Who told you he is going to use the 3m dish? He is buying for some guys here in Lokoja. emmaachile is my close colleague in Lokoja.

Bravo that that Emmachile is your close friend in Lokoja. We have to celebrate this by walking from Ghana to Afghanistan.

That's to say Big dishes are still not out of place

Oga, this car is not a 2002 model for F's sake

why downgrading the car?

Blackshort:
Odilibe is not just a common member oo. In fact, he is one of the professors and a satellite guru of high reputation. when you see a name such as: Odilibe, George D, olenyi, Blexxonmak, Dlee, Sammu, Obnelly, Kungu in Kenya & many more, you must bow before them. They are real SATELLITE ENGINEERS

Oga, being a guru or popular person doesn't immune any human being from erring. Either of the two parties may be wrong or right depending on how they viewed the saga. What matters is that, when issues occurs, they should be resolved in a matured manner

agkilis:
for reference sake this is the number that called me 08148870020, but i tell you the truth who ever did this to a savant of GOD will surely pay,like i say the case is in heaven as i speak right now and someone must surely pay trust GOD in this matter

You didn't need to post the number. I know you're trying to prove that you're saying the truth.

Shitz do happen. I just bought some satellite TV products from a naira lander, which turned out to be fake. I called him and he didn't dispute. We tried reaching an agreement over the matter by not washing the dirt online.

You guys can settle out of Nairaland court.

cheers

Boss13:
I don't get your point. If you are doing this to impress a lady, you sure can and it all depends on how you make do of it. I would rather impress my friends and neighbors with sky movies than with mnet movies, which they can get for themselves if they continue to pay subscription. I would rather impress my friends by informing them I can watch any movie I want at any time I want and not praying for a miracle to touch dstv staff.

I would also impress my foreign friends especially in the UK by telling them I still keep in touch with the news in their locality despite not being there.

Knowledge is power and when you have that, you can impress even the president of the free world.

Well for me its not about impressing people - because I see that as a low self esteem syndrome. It's for my personal consumption and pleasure. I don't have to wait to travel to the UK now before I can watch sky or itv. Personal preference.

Like you posited in a line in your post, you're far from comprehending my point.

I'm not dwelling too much on impressing people with what I watch, which obviously they too can have since its very non exclusive.

I'm talking about the data cost and the freezing. The latter which is not due to the consumer but the ISP. Can you impress a guest when your TV freezes intermittently?

So you dwelling on 'impression' for the most part of your post shows you're not on the same page with the post you quoted.

Whilst our other sources are still primary to me as an individual, they'll not be second classed. I'll take this option as secondary

If you also took your time to read what I posted, towards the last paragraph, I talked about 3m dish. This means, some us will still go for the main sources, to get our Nilesat, Hotbird and Astra 19.2 degrees east, which has almost all the sky digital channels that I do watch when I'm in the UK holidaying.

Knowledge is power, but not necessarily being 'overzealous' in the quest for knowledge. If God blesses you with Your own house with ample space, you can even use 5 metres dish to watch all of these channels without using data

Someone in Warri, named Dejsam is one of our old members in the Satellite TV a action, spent close to a million naira importing 5meters dish in 2008/09 and today, he's watching the 'whole world' acquiring that knowledge.

Its an individual thing

Boss13:
They both have mifi. Smile has remodeled their mifi and it is now smaller and last for 10 hours. The problem is that data is expensive and still slow in Nigeria. Probably because customers are not complaining enough.

Back to the 'reasonable' issue.

A lady or my school friends back in the university came visiting, is it adding value to me watching this in their presence?

I talked about opportunity cost and alternative forgone. This IPTV should still be a second option and not the primary one.

I'm going for it as a back and not as a replace ment.

Same Emmachile wants 3m dish, someone like him too will use IPTV as a back rather than Primary source

Boss13:
Spectranet and Smile come with a small dongle you can move with and the use rechargeable batteries like phones. So you can have fast internet as you move around.

Yes I know, but the modem and router for Spectranet is big and the battery doesn't last. I use one in the office.

Except if they have a MIFI dongle. MIFI sef consumes battery a lot

Nigerians and corners. There's a new sheriff in town

EMMAACHILE:
Those in Lagos and environs have the advantage of spectranet 20gb plan for 7000

Let's do reasonable calculations here

I have all the IKS
I have a motorised dish
I have one of Star times and GOTV
I have two phones that I get minimum of 2gb data on, monthly basis for normal office work

Why should I get a Spectranet that's not too portable like a phone and be adding 7000 to my monthly expenses?

It means some things will be based on opportunity cost, with alternatives to forgo.

I guess we ran to IKS and motorised dish to save cost, not so?

Nice one
but I'm more concerned about data consumption.
DSTV is about 13k plus monthly, how will I spend on data to ha e 24hours access?

CMS is a bus stop and also a Church

alvins4ull:
Do you sell or have any idea that will cost me?.And again people talk about 4m pan dish on this forum.

Well, pan would make sense from 90cm to 2.4m. I used to own a 4m dish, till I sold it off. Fibre makes send in big sizes.

Fibre dishes are usually made here in Nigeria as against aluminium dishes that are imported into Nigeria from China.

Ask Sammu the author of this thread. they do cast the fibre dish around Sango area in Lagos

alvins4ull:
Hello,please can you get me a 4meter motorised solid/pan dish?.I'm currently at Iseyin Oyo state.

4 meters will be fibre and you'll import to Oyo from Lagos

Irib now live at my end
