Mind you not everybody like football and football make this channels costlier.

So as such they can separate it to make it cheaper for non football lovers period.

Dstv really messed up the way u thinking bro
Even with the options given u still saying they should give an option 3k for football lovers 1k5 for non football lovers

Not everybody must buy TStv it the option given for subscription to all channels isn’t nice pls stay d Bleep away from TStv nd stick to ur Dstv no be force

TV/Movies / Re: A Snooper's Experience With Tstv: Fiction Vs Reality by MabraO: 4:57am On Sep 29, 2017
sisimmi:
Yes. I drove into the TSTV corporate headquarters at Jahi, opposite Gilmor site - Abuja this afternoon. This move was precipitated by the media hype surrounding their entry into the pay-TV market in Nigeria. Mine was just a fact-finding visit to "meet, greet and feel" the buzz.

The first thing that struck was the makeshift security barrier leading to their sprawling compound. A police van was stationed beside the ring of wire, strewn across sand-filled drums on a dirt road. There was noticeable human and vehicular traffic in and out the property, located deep inside this forested up-coming upscale neighborhood. TSTV office is an isolated superstructure decked in their traditional green color. I asked to see the marketing people for inquiries and was directed to the basement. As I made my way down the flight of stairs, the sign "please don't touch the door" flashed on my face from the glass door. At first, I thought it was automatic and would slide open on its own. After some hesitation without any such sign, I gave it a push. It opened and I walked in.

Inside, I could not feel the ambiance of a tsunami-like organization, eager to take on the dstv behemoth. Rather, the setting was quite ordinary and bare-bone. The ceiling looks old and cheap. No whistles and The font-desk lady was pacing up and down, trying to fake some smiles. On the wall was a 40-something inch plasma TV tuned to CNN's Anderson Cooper 360. The pictures were grainy and quite pedestrian. The colours were anything but digital. Sound-quality was very poor. I peeped to see any signs of signal-logo on the screen to be sure it is a TSTV signal. There was none. I asked to see the offering and equipment. The lady told me to wait till Sunday. I asked for any other information that may assist me understand. She handed the attached 2-page piece of handwritten photocopied flyer to me. I was perplexed. Handwritten flyer?

As I turned to go, it struck me that TSTV may not exactly turn out as strong a competition to DSTV as we are made to believe; against all the hype and predictions. Stepping outside, I saw rows of dummy large-circumference satellite dishes littering the frontage, deliberately placed to hoodwink and deceive people. Outside the gate, I saw that the Development Control Unit of FCDA had marked and demolished the small hut, built to house TSTV's transformer because it was illegally located. The blocks and bricks still litter the environment.

I dashed into my car and drove away, with trepidation and prayer that my impressions may just turn out false, for I really wish for the day someone would give DSTV a bloody nose. I pray the day comes soon. I am afraid, TSTV may not be the one. After all. Yet again!

Pls pic of the photocopied flyer so that this ur gbegiri u feeding us go sweet.

Politics / Re: “leave Innocent Biafrans, Meet Me In Sambisa Forest” Shekau Challenges Soldiers by MabraO: 4:36am On Sep 29, 2017
imaeruaka:
The leader of Boko Haram terrorist group, Abubakar Shekau has challenged the members of Nigerian military to leave innocent Biafrans alone and meet him in Sambisa forest.

According to online reports which has not been confirmed says Shekau made this known in a latest video released by the terrorists group.

Recall that soldiers laid siege at the residence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People’s of Biafra, IPOB on Tuesday.

Although multiple reports claimed they wanted to break into the home of the IPOB’s leaders but were strongly resisted by thousands of his supporters.

TV/Movies / Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by MabraO: 11:11am On Sep 25, 2017
Androidking:



ok , u need to watch one first for u too know the reasons they get the Awards dont u think, and its from Voting just like in football,

secondly now i know y u call series/movie "boring" becoz u have being on the genre for a long time , may be u have being watching Sci-Fi series too much that the rest is so boring for u to like since most of them seems to portray the same information, by the way zoo make sense good story line and full of action,

so i will suggest this to u, just divert to something totally different at one u know, migrate to comedy or crime , or any other thing different from ur choice of series ,then come back later ,

another way i keep my series interested is to download as much different series as possible and store it mixed with normal films and wwe , i watched dem randomly sometimes , for example i had quantico complete season two for over 4 months but am yet to finish it , i had breaking bad complete seasons too but i just pause , knowing that one day i will not have anything else to watch ,then i will resume , i have enough space for that ,

the bottom line is try to change things around u , dont try to finish ur films once it gets boring that way , thanks
JUST A SUGGESTION


[b]U see everything u said u do same thing I do for the past 9 years since I ve been watching series.
Since those time I never for once like watching movies
Those times before I started downloading them wen I get to the store I buy 10 - 15 cds at once. Be it crime, drama, sci-fi, drugs related series, nd some superheroes too.
I watch the best first den the once I perceive might be boring for last. Nd do enjoy all.
You know there re lots of series with positive rating in the first season nd got cancelled after the second season? So bros no be by rating
I feel all these producers the rhning out of ideas except for a few that got it going
Power has never received Any way since it started yet it is going strongly. I can list so many series that after season 2 it disappeared
There re interesting ones too that after season 1 it got cancelled even after so many awards

I believed u must ve watched dirty smovies day money? Wit such rating and positive review it got canceled, same with vanished and the event, Will traveler, teranova, alcatrase etc
Bros no be that one oh they should be something that would captivate ur eyes nd mind nd put u in so much suspense that u would be craving for more even after the first episode[/b]
Phones / Re: Gotv Is In Soup: Tstv To Take Over Dstv And Gotv By October by MabraO: 8:55am On Sep 25, 2017
laribari:


I have said it before and will say it again. A big brand is a big brand ooo! Dstv is experience and knows the Nigerian market wella, besides they are a company with deep pocket. Have you wondered why HITV died? HItV hijacked the right for EPL in Nigeria for a season and left dstv by surprise but what did dstv do?

They endured that one year and only showed selected matches but not all big games. Guess what dstv did? Before that same season ended, they purchased the right for 5 yrs straights running from a fresh season becos of their deep pocket. They crippled HITV. It's not as if both of them can't show it at the same time, of cos if both does people will still buy HITV cos it's cheaper but what I think is that both are using the same source to air live games, so only one of them can sir it as a means of protecting their brand. If you must also show it, you will buy the right from them and they will only give you selected games. Not all games! They paid HITV in their own coin.

This was what buried HITV! So when star times came with their own 1,000 naira subscription, what did multichoice do? They launch a new product in GOTV that will play in that lower league to tackle star times becos obviously DSTV is premium brand and can't be selling at same price with star times. So all they needed to do was bring some Kool channels from DSTV to GOTV and pay less to watch it. So ordinarily, people still wanna watch epl (super sport select 1 &2), watch CNN, Africa magic (yoruba, igbo & hausa) etc. GOTV does not even have to sell at same rate with star time as they are slightly expensive, yet star times can't take GOTV out of the market. In a few years time star times may shut down if their profit isn't taking care of their expenses. This is trade!

So let's see their reaction to TSTV. As a sales manager in a multinational brand in Nigeria, I know they will react and that's to probably slightly reduce price of dstv subscription or introduce some new exciting features to their lower bouquets, make their dstv decorder cheaper or to do an upgrade GOTV in terms of channels to compete with TSTV. I'm sure GOTV will come with some Kool stuff to match TSTV cos that GOTV is their weapon to fight off competition when it comes to pricing. TSTV must be ready ooo!

To out class dstv in Nigeria will be hard. TSTV must find a way to rival super sports, Africa magic, CNN if they want to stay very long and also win the market share.

From the list of their proposed channels TSTV can compete but what features will their decorder give you? What is that new thing you can get from outside dstv? They must address that too.

The only feature I know Dstv got an edge over TStv wen dey launch is the box office. Which I know Dstv didn’t start with wen they came into nigeria market.
Mind u TStv got some African magic channels can’t say which for such, nd other channels Dstv boost with which I know ain’t theirs nd TStv got more added cool nd exciting channels too if trueky what I saw on their site is true.
If u ve ctl decoder u ll know bein sport re there nd they show all the match only hiccup is done re broadcast in Portuguise nd Arab but TStv got the English broadcast channels nd in HD most of their movie channels too re in HD or some sports channels re in HD in DStv. there is a reason ctl is not in Lagos due to competition which u know if u Abu satellite company can conquer Lagos the test is history.
For now I ll cross my fingers nd wait to see wot TStv got in stock for us

exactly my point that u dont sabi watch or analyze movie doesnt make it boring, wen u watch movie awards u will notice that most movies we think are boring hit more awards than action park , so get ur popcorn get ur eyepiece and listen carefully,before i started watching helix it was among the top 10 in most adverts , nawadays i am not more interested in super hero films i like drama , or series wit master class even its boring to others , go and watch DEVIOUS MAIDS pure drama may be boring but its mature to people wey sabi , pls People should stop condemning movies if u dont like them u are giving people wrong ideas from ur ignorance ,


Those re not really superheroes they re movies with too many special effect. I don't go by how many awards a movies rakes before I watch cos I don't know wot made it get so many awards.?see series like helix, Zoo, hunter, clever man, messenger, stitches IMO those re boring series no matter the rating. Nd I believe a lot of people will agree with me too
The only boring series I ve been trying to understand till date is legion it is boring but they though they got some captivating scene
Nd again I don't condemn only sis they were boring nd it was interesting to u

TV/Movies / Re: Awesome Detail You Probably Missed In The Last 'game Of Thrones' Episode by MabraO: 6:46am On Aug 24, 2017
phensbassey:
As the camera focuses on Longclaw, his sword, Jon can be seen tapping his hand out of the water.
But something happens in that moment, I can't be the only one who noticed this about Longclaw.


Yup, Longclaw's eyes popped open. See?


It can't just be accidental, can it?


Valyrian-steeled Longclaw is the bastard sword that belonged to House Mormont. Jeor Mormont, as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, gave it to Jon Snow, who served as his steward until Mormont's death. Though Longclaw was taken from Jon's dead body, he got it back after returning from the dead.


Fans on Reddit stressed that Longclaw's eyes are just a transparent piece of crystal that fills out when the hand is behind the handle. So the "opened-eyes" effect is just a reflection of Jon's hand hitting the ice. What a bummer.


Others argued the hand does not reach that far to create a reflection. Is that just a drop of water? An optical illusion?
Or could it be Bran warging into Longclaw? Who knows...One thing's for sure, it's really cool.

Good observation
But wen d eye popped opened was after Jon raised his hand out of the water so a drop of the water made it looked like that.

Kudos to u for zooming skills
