I didn't even consume up to 1.1gb to watch Chelsea match with my tab yesterday. I don charge my tab to full waiting for Ngozi united and Arsenal match by 4.30pm.

God punish multi choice.

I don pack the decoder and their useless remote for wardrobe. I no do again.

You just dey discover say it saves cost to stream?

I have successfully stopped subscribing on GoTV since 6-7years now. Why did I stop?
I remember I subscribed that month and discovered that the channels didn't fully load. I called their contact center and I was told they have removed the channels.

The lady that picked the call sounded so nonchalant, and that the remover is their choice and no need to inform the customer. I stopped subscribing the next month. They have called me tire since then, offered me incentives and inducements, I haven't changed my decision.

Monthly, I simply activate MTN's 200GB on my 5G router and enjoy movies of choice, YouTube, football etc.

I like the be in control and doing streaming gives me control cuz I have not subscription running whether I watch or not. I can also control my data usage. Some months, nah 110GB I use, some 150GB and I just roll over the data.


Since I saw the increase in bouquet I just dey laugh πŸ˜„


How much is the 200gb on MTN 5g router

Scamburster:

Explain more.

I use this on all the TV's in my home. It makes your TV smart with 4k pictures. At the time, I preferred this over my 60inch smart TV and have 6 tv's connected to the firesticks. I had an IPTV package installed in the Firestick which I paid 90$ for 1 year with more than 6000 channels from news to sport, shows movies, I could literarily watch anything I want on earth.

I used a live football match app on my phone, then casted the view on my smart TV.

Apps like Yasine, livefooty and plenty others stream football live on your mobile phone.
Unfortunately, I don't think Nigeria has the device for casting Netflix on TV from phone

For more than 2 years I have been consistently subscribing to DSTV, from last year march till last month, I was on price lock on 9k for compact. No doubt I was actually enjoying dstv especially premier league football.

So my subscription expired last week and I checked the new price for compact, it was 15k+. Geskiya I said I can't be subscribing again. The money is too much. Thanks almost 180k per year.

So yesterday, I was at home, was now playing around with my TV apps, what I saw really amazed me.

There are plenty apps that shows children movies, another ones shows action films, though old, but they are interesting. There is an afroland TV that shows Nigerian movies. This afroland shows live France 24 news. There is Plex TV that shows live channels and still have movies too.

Then I discovered that Al Jazeera, channels TV and some other news channels shows live on YouTube. Worst of it all is that, on YouTube there are some personal channels that have full videos on movies both foreign and locals, with very recent cartoons.

Then I said let me test the cast option. Lo and behold, when man city match started, I used a stream app to watch football on my phone then I now casted it to TV. O boy, everything clear.

I watched Man city, Tottenham and Chelsea matches.

When I was leaving the house after Chelsea match, I checked my data, despite connecting it to my TV since morning, I didn't blow up to 4g.

So if I used that my 9k I was using to subscribe to DSTV compact and buy Airtel 22g for 5k, I will be on unlimited streaming till month end.

Watch at you own space.

In addition, some of these documentaries that is been shown on nat geographic gold and wild, discovery channel, investigation ID, there episodes are there on YouTube. All you need is to search for it.

My brothers and sisters....

Bye bye to DSTV and other paid TV.


In addition, there is a radio app on the smart TV that brings to you plenty radio channels both home and abroad. What I haven't confirmed is if it's live or pre recorded.
What app on the smart tv did u used to watch Chelsea game. Wanna download on my own TV also

bros it is more expensive to stream. Especially if you are addicted like watching 4k content like me. I dont enjoy a movie that lacks high definition picture quality. To me streaming is more expensive. The only advantage I have is on streaming is you have unlimited contents. You decide what to watch unlike the boring cables.
choose your battles

You are right o , i discovered this during the AFCON 2023. My brother the time difference no be here. When my neighbour is shouting goals when Nigeria super eagles equalised against equatorial Guinea it took like one year for me to see that goal on cast view.
I no fit bear am i subscribe back to DSTV.
Secondly if you are using your data to watch sports or movies and documentaries you will spend more than DSTV subscriptions the only Advantage is that your data start reading when you use unlike DSTV subscriptions either you use or not after one month it will expire.
