The thing is, cable TV is never cheap anywhere in the world.

I hope you realise that flat screens and cable TVs are termed as luxuries even in advanced countries?

I'm not saying it is right, I'm just saying it is not by force. grin

I dnt av a dstv, I have goTV. wetin I wan watch for dstv wey I go pay 14k? SS3? No, I'll pass.

If I dey used 100 watch match for 30 data at viewing centre, I no go spend 5k per month.

By the way, I av sound city, Chanell O, hipTV, trace, nat geo wild, Sony max, discovery, glitz, super sport select, ESPN, and so much more for just 1,500 per monTh.

So, na ss 1-7 go now make me go their office dey drop 14k per month?

Maybe later, when I can afford it.
but now?MBA!
I don't av trace on my Got & I just recharge it 4 1800 & d guy collected 200 naira extra from me

Indians whom cant feed in Mumbai; Lebanses whom cant feed in Beirut etc will all come to Nigeria and be oppressing the sons & daughters of the soil (Nigerians);; and the worst is tht the govt will b supporting them.

Now its South Africans turn; soon it will b Ghanaians; Malawis even congo sef...

Hope this current wind of change will change these none sense that the ruling class ( from the military era till PDP era) had been quiet about & supporting it indirectly.

I paid for two months,that's April and May in advance still my account was suspended and I was told to go and pay the remaining balance of 1000naira after I spent about 500naira airtime calling their customer care line and they deliberately refused to pick my call.honestly speaking,DSTV is taken Nigerians for granted and getting away with it.as for me,I am done with them

Yes DSTV is taking advantage of Nigerians but don't forget Nigerians work for them. The Nigerians are the ones helping them in stealing from us. We are our own problems.

dude, the next sub is just 1,700. We have received the message since. And even if they increased it to 7k, I can still sustain it without whining. But I cannot afford the 14k for now. That's all I'm saying. And not that I can't pay it, but I can't pay for something and start complaining. All these yeye people wey dey talk, if dstv's signal go for two days, dem fit die on top complain. Not because of poor service, but because of the money they paid?

Na their type dey buy iPHONE 6 by all means, and if the phone lost, dem go almost entre lagoon!

Na by force?

But some people go even buy give dem 6yrs old kid and nothing go happen.

There is a big diff btw luxury and necessity. If u can't afford being luxurious for now, dnt fake it
Your head dey der jare.....shey u sure say na him dey pay for the sub self ..abi him old man
That how one of my guys dey force me say make I come buy Samsung s5 for almost 100k...not that I don't av the money but am not up to d level of using such amount of money to buy ordinary phone... Cut ur coat according to ur fittings

yeah, u ain't broke butbure complaining of a increase of not more than 2k. grin grin that's an irony though.

I knw ur type: u live above ur means, and u do everything to stay oiled. cheesy

Dude, uread my epistle, right?

I ain't broke, but I won't descend tobur level where u go for things u can't keep up with the maintenance. Na ur type go still sell his decoder for Olx.

For ur info, cable TV is a luxury. Ifbu can't afford it, stop trying to act like u are in the class.

I'm sure say ur dstv sef, na the 2,500 (family package) u dey run.

Even my gotv was last subscribed about 8mnths ago because i dont undstand why i hve to spend 1500 a month just to buy another 30k fuel to enjoy it so i just swtched to our regular channels at least till regular power comes up. simple logic.

If dstv can introduce pay per view then it will make a lot of sense n they will even make more profits.

the hard truth is that most dstv dshes you see today are for decoration as many owners stoped sbscribing.

Why do Nigerians have to pay more than people in the UK, USA, EU, and other advanced countries where minimum wages are higher than Nigeria.
UK minimum wage approximately 250,000 naira monthly. Sky package = 12,000 naira monthly
EU minimum wage approximately 230,000 naira monthly. Viasat full package = 10,000 naira monthly
Nigerian minimum wage approximately 20,000 naira montly. DSTV full package = 16,000 naira monthly.

Suffice to add that with the EU and UK packages, you get many many educative channels, and excellent sport coverage. But with DSTV, you get mostly trashy SA channels and NIGERIAN movies and news!
Are Nigerians on this earth to suffer?
When the Jonathan die hard were throwing their weight behind all his blind moves blindly, they label anyone who isn't on their side parasite and oyel handout thieves. Let me do a little breaking down for you so you can see who runs on subsidy here.

Before the June 2014 the naira exchanged for around 165 to a dollar and you and I know majority of the value being inputted into 'dstv' as we know it gets paid in dollar. Things like content, football transmission right, satellite maintenance cost and salary to their core staff in South Africa. Now along the line the Nigerian government decided to devalue the Naira, an action that lead to this same Naira to xchange for well above N200 to 1 USD. If multiChoice where to collect same amount being charged b4 d devaluation of Naira, they would incur shortage because the same Naira amount will now exchange for less dollar amount and multichoice will be in a dilemma when faced with shortage of dollar to settle transmission right for the next season football, Game of throne, and BBA.

Most pple shouting in ignorance here are product of heavily subsidized system where the do MTN free browsing, cheat to attend subsidized education system, and run virtually on subsidy. They think their ignorance based Aluta Continua-approach will override the superior educated approach of MultiChoice.

Do you guys make money from watching football? If not then port to startimes,mytv,actv,consat,free to air. If you do make money from watching football then you should be able to afford the subscription. I can't pay 14 per month for football I rather pay 30k for internet and have access anytime I want and make money from it as well. Nigerians just want the best for free.

Yet same people like you will start crying of hardship in the country tomorrow saying govt is not working hard, when you have little money you take to luxury things.
Luxury is good but what the poster is saying is that he cant do some of those things now because of the way he appraised his earnings at the moment, what is your trouble with that ? must everybody try to measure up just to impress some people? Many Nigerians are committing all sorts of ill things just to live such fake luxury lives which is the cause of corruption we are all complaining about everyday.

Simple,
With a free -to- air decoder ( eg strong, orton, humax ) and your assessaries ( dishes + lnbs ) . You get to watch the channels for free, No Illegality ( NOT DUNGLE ), pure Free-to-air.
Check the satelite tv section.
