COMPLIMENTS, CRITICISMS OR SUGGESTIONS,  SPEAK OUT!!!

Daarsat has launched its satellite pay-tv platform. Daarsat welcomes all Nigerians to give their views and opinions as without your suggestions they cannot improve the standard of Nigerian broadcasting. Whatever you have got to say positive or negative do not hesitate to speak out:-)

Do not forget to visit www.daarsat.com for more information.

Please give your views on:

Is Nigeria ready for High Definition?

There is also a Televista channel on Daarsat, no info as yet as to what content it shows but i understand it is an entertainment and movie channel

Reading this thread i feel very sorry for urfriend and HiTV.
HiTV has had its five minutes of fame when it won the EPL rights and reduced subscription fees to 4k (Congrats for that) but beyond that i personally have been disappointed with hitv in every other aspect.
It is true that DAARSAT has spent a lot of money on new technology and infrastructure, but who said they will not spend even more money on content?
Perhaps HiTV’s lack of spending in the technical department is responsible for the poor picture quality, bad subscriber management system and limited capacity to add more channels?
As far as DAARSAT and content is concerned what i see is that there is not so much to buy right now and i am sure they have bought up a lot of what is available. Spanish league will not be sold till next year as will the premiership so what do you want them to buy so you will know they are serious about content?
I believe that the technology of any broadcaster is the foundation of its business. Yes content is king but with poor technical infrastructure it is like building a house on quicksand, you will implode and sink as HiTV is presently learning.
I spoke with a senior manager at DAARSAT last weekend and this is the latest jist from DAARSAT:
1. DAARSAT is still busy perfecting their technical delivery, customer service and getting more channels! Commercial launch is due on or before November 7th. Learning from HiTV’s mistakes they don’t want to come out to the market without ironing out issues they can handle before getting to the market.

2. They now have in excess of 50 channels positioning to be appealing to all members of the family, they literally have something for everyone from your grandmother that can't speak english to your kids wanting to become the next Jay Jay with a dedicated soccer school channel. They have also acquired some of the latest series titles released in the US on NBC network this month.

3. There are no live premiership games on the platform for now, but you can expect to see the Brazilian league, German league, French League, Turkish League, a number of top international matches including Brazil, Argentina, Portugal etc

4. You will see at least 6 premiership matches delayed the day after they are played, it is true that it is not the same as live, but it is the next best thing for now.

5. They have now also agreed to show the MGM Channel, which Hollywood film lovers will recognise for all the Oscars the MGM studios have produced

6. This one i know say Naija go vex and e never dey confirmed but i hear say them wan stop to dey show Nigeria International matches live for free to air television, say AIT na only delayed them go show from now on!!! Na only Daarsat subscribers go watch Nigeria Live from now O!!!!!!!!

7. The USP of DAARSAT partnership with Visafone is not aimed at offering subscribers internet access although this is a side benefit, it is aimed at creating a DAARSAT subscriber community which can make free calls amongst themselves all day, all night, all year for as long as they remain DAARSAT Subscribers.

I hope this information is helpful and gives a little insight into what Daarsat is offering!!!

PS. the www.daarsat.com website is a temporary website which will give anyone all the information they need about daarsat, to register as subscribers, dealers etc. DAARSAT say they are launching their state of the art website early next year.

With the DAARSAT rollout, a lot of noise is being made about High Definition (HD). Are Nigerians ready to embrace this technology? What is high definition? How does it compare with Standard Definition? And is DAARSAT correct to deploy a new but more expensive technology when all its competitors are using the old but cheap Standard Definition technology?

DIS GUY, Haba wetin Dokpesi do you? Abi he no approve your contract?

check www.daarsat.com as it has all the information you need to learn more about daarsat, becoming a subscriber or dealer. they say this is just a temporary site as they are launching a new site early next year.

I agree with you about taking on Nigerians taking on more than they can chew. But Daar communications have time and again had a positive impact on all the challenges they have taken on. Be it radio or tv and now satellite for which they are introducing High Definition, Nigerians have always been the winners even when DAAR has not sustained the expectations of Nigerians. I think we should give them a chance to correct their mistakes. Their share offer was over-subscribed so they have the funds to both make technical changes and presentation improvements.

DAARSAT the ball is in your court o!!!

please check www.daarsat.com it is a temporary site as they say they are launching their full website early next year but this has all you need to know to become a subscriber or a dealer.
