DStv Is blocking their way by giving bribes to the people that matters in the government and these government people will do everything to kill off tstv.

this is one of the reasons why Nigeria can never be a business environment that gives equal opportunity and this is why Entrepreneurship is dead in Nigeria which gives room for unemployment which gives room to crime.

DSTV is not giving anyone bribes nada.

Or why haven't they killed off Startimes too? Because Startimes has things DSTV does not have (Bundesliga, Europa league, etc for example)

Plus streaming is eating into their business slowly anyway...things like Netflix dey now, for example.

Wasn't this even the same DSTV that was fighting government over taxes self?

Upcumming

No one is blocking TSTV. The promoters are just not serious people. They only thrive on propaganda, they don't have the required capital.

DSTV blocked their Ambition, because they saw their plans, why would you let People know your plans and what you wanna do when you establish your project ?


DSTV saw they'll probably outsmart them in business, so they did 1 or 2 to them

Never reveal your plans to people

This TSTV be like APC they came with all the noise and went cold on customers. Mad people everywhere.

Wó....God go bless you with this your analogy. Noise too mush....infact they ain't different from APC....

Mine has been showing "Error Code 202" for over two weeks now...

Dstv paid some gullible Nigerians to kill it

I went to their office some months back for enquiry and used opportunity to watch the channels.....trust me the channels are amazing and the picture quality wonderful....the problem is the cost of the decoder..it was N18,000. At a time when dstv was sold for 9,999, Gotv N5,999 and startimes even less......also the advertising that they are back was poor too.

Never heard of TSTV before

You are talking about TSTV... You no even talk about EKDC, IBDC, IEDC and so on...( They are even behaving poorer than PHCN)... Everything for our government na Lie

because if they allow tstv then automatically DStv and startime will fall.

imagine paying 2000 naira just to watch the same thing people are paying 18 thousand naira for in DStv.

this is why they are blocking their way.

No, it is because TSTV is not offering what would attract people to them

Do you have a TSTV subscription, for example? What are they offering that is different from DSTV and startimes?

tamdun:
They didn't hire the right marketers/promoters

You're talking about marketing when they've not started broadcasting anything. The marketers would market empty TV abi. Some of una go dey think like crayfish

When south Africans where even killing use we were still patronizing their dstv so forget it multi choice is here to stay

But op when last u watch nta

DStv is actually Cheap for what it Offers. That's a Fact, not even an opinion


Can I afford 18,400 monthly for cable, no, but it's an enlightened person knows it's an affordable option

Are you talking from " Them say"
Do you have proves to this allegations on DStv?
Back to the topic
I think TSTV is not just ready to compete with the likes of Startimes, DSTV, which are already in the Nigerian market.
Even the name TSTV is a fraud.
It's just like a new mobile Telecom coming into the Nigeria market to displace the likes of MTN, Glo Airtel & 9mobile which are already rooted in Nigeria market.

Why're you people always complaining abt DSTV and GOTv shey dem put knife for ur neck ni dere are free to Air u people can always try nd Startime dey dere...


Dem force all na abi why're you guys always crying up nd down sef this life na choice...


You people saying dey don't av Political will nd DSTv don monopolize the market. We still av dem KweseTv, Startime nd diffrnt free to air why DSTv no block doz ones from running...

Abi when DSTv keeps coming up with different TV shows nd Content are the odas sleeping dey cant also come up with something..

when someone fails let's admit he don fail nd stop looking for excuses...

imagine Glo for how many years still battling with good browsing signal nd MTN dat means business u can hardly see dem fvck up even Airtel we know aw many times wey dem don sell am nd 9mobile sef jus giv it to diz people dem sabi business...

Does startimes air champions league and Premier leagues?

Same issue with almost every innovative Nigerian start up: funding wahala !

To take on market leaders like DSTV...one needs a very deep pocket.

And here in Nigeria, you are your own. Banks won't give you money, government doesn't care and we don't have the kinda organized Silicon Valley investors here.

So our innovative young people are easily fvcked by their big competitors.

If you give them big money to fund expansion projects the owners will use it to buy Range Rovers and start forming big boys...ask GTBank about their experience with that company they funded to take on DSTV some years ago

You have only described a poor economy with weak market indices which is what Nigeria is.

Bank rates are generally high and their funds tend to be mostly short termed. Therefore, no sensible bank will risk funding a start up with such funds especially against existing market leaders. Remember that GTB tried it with HiTV and got burnt.

If we sincerely want a capitalist system, then govt shouldn't be funding start ups against established market leaders. That will be a controlled economy like China or Russia. Unless we all agree to be like China, govt must stay out of unequal funding of business.

The main reason why a sizeable market like Nigeria is lacking in venture funds is because of the questionable source of private wealth. Those who would have become the pool of our core-investors would rather fly their wealth across to Switzerland or London than risk loosing it to EFCC etc if they keep it here.

Koko is, we are our own enemies by being largely a corrupt society.

It's not cheaper than streaming though. You can stream movies, football matches and news anywhere you go

Mtchew. Those ones are not ready.
