Who told you he is going to use the 3m dish? He is buying for some guys here in Lokoja. emmaachile is my close colleague in Lokoja.

Bravo that that Emmachile is your close friend in Lokoja. We have to celebrate this by walking from Ghana to Afghanistan.

That's to say Big dishes are still not out of place

It depends on you. I will never go for a 3m dish. I will always pick an android box over it.

I sold my 2.4m dish to get money for starsat dish and will use the balance to get an android box.

FTA is boring and I need to enjoy myself because life is short.

mercyitodo:
It opens hotbird but other alternatives are available.

Thank you, pls what are the other alternatives I can use my 2.4pan dish to do in Kaduna

The cheapest alternative is the ibox 3030 which is below 10,000.
Tiger series especially the z series are also there
Another alternative is the ibox diamond II

If you read my prologue about choices at the previous page, then you'll understand my position.

I as a person isn't the movie Frick.

I love watching the bundesliga and only the bundesliga. In Nigeria today, DSTV and Startimes are the only options to watch it, Save Dubai sport on 4metres and Be in sport. I heard that star times has acquired the right to air the bundesliga from season 2015/16 for 3 years in place of DSTV.

What I'll be using this box for is to watch German league matches that aren't available on DSTV, Star times or FTA. AFrica Magic Yoruba and AM urban and AM Showcase makes a lot of sense to me.

Sky movies, ITV etc can relax. Its FTA, Paytv and IPTV in that order for me

Sir please which among all this decoder is best interms of quality,durability and effectiveness.tlink t900hd,ibox 3030,ibox diamond 11 and Tiger z series.Thanks in anticipation.

They serve almost same purposes

Android boxes are for IPTV, whilst the other ones can be used as you use your strong decoder

Value for money= ibox 3030
Best decoder= tiger z series

Don't compare these boxes to strong

Smh.

GTV STV2, Irib, Dubai Sport and many more

Minix x8H-plus + Kodi + unlimited swift 4G Lte + Ruyaiptv addon (paid uk channels) : Match made in heaven

davodyguy:
Smh.

GTV STV2, Irib, Dubai Sport and many more

Irib doesn't show more than two german matches a week.
Others on that list are poor quality.

Dubai sport is also poor quality?

I see you're a learner in this business. Picture quality of Dubai Sport is equal to what you get on DSTV

Do you receive Dubai sports?

Android box is the way to go guys. Watch the whole world as you like.

U forget to mention at a cost.....unlimited expensive data which might not be within ur locale!

davodyguy:
Like you posited in a line in your post, you're far from comprehending my point.

I'm not dwelling too much on impressing people with what I watch, which obviously they too can have since its very non exclusive.

I'm talking about the data cost and the freezing. The latter which is not due to the consumer but the ISP. Can you impress a guest when your TV freezes intermittently?

So you dwelling on 'impression' for the most part of your post shows you're not on the same page with the post you quoted.

Whilst our other sources are still primary to me as an individual, they'll not be second classed. I'll take this option as secondary

If you also took your time to read what I posted, towards the last paragraph, I talked about 3m dish. This means, some us will still go for the main sources, to get our Nilesat, Hotbird and Astra 19.2 degrees east, which has almost all the sky digital channels that I do watch when I'm in the UK holidaying.

Knowledge is power, but not necessarily being 'overzealous' in the quest for knowledge. If God blesses you with Your own house with ample space, you can even use 5 metres dish to watch all of these channels without using data

Someone in Warri, named Dejsam is one of our old members in the Satellite TV a action, spent close to a million naira importing 5meters dish in 2008/09 and today, he's watching the 'whole world' acquiring that knowledge.

Its an individual thing

Davo, I think you should learn how to communicate without either being sarcastic or appear to be insultive. I do not intend to quote your previous comment, but you literally mentioned "if a lady visits your house" and that implies trying to impress your guest. Hence, a spinoff with Impression being the main content of my previous comment.

In response to this comment, I think the keyword is Preference, after thorough consideration of the challenges and benefits accrued to both platforms (IPTV and Regular Dish). I have stated in my previous comments that I do not intend to incur the wrath of my estate management and neighbors because I want to watch TV. Sequel to this, an IPTV would be sufficient for me.

Apart from watching Live TV channels, IPTV still has the advantage of enabling its users view movies and TV shows of their choice. IPTV is the future; Apple is working on it and Tim Cook (CEO of Apple) has promised to change the television industry. However, the expensive data cost in Africa is a huge limitation.

Davo, my first sentence is not to spite you, but to draw your attention to your communication mindset and I must also thank you and others in the forum for the knowledge I have gained so far.

I think you should learn to read with open mind, so as not to appear presumptuous in forming your opinion

That's where you got it wrong. The other part of the same line you aligned with in the post says 'A lady or my school friends back in the university came visiting'
You trying to align with the gender and thereafter emphasizing on it makes your your response look lopsided. Also, i have clarified the kind of impression I'm talking about, which has nothing to do with the prejudice word 'Low Self esteem syndrome'

I agree on this. For you it's sufficient and i think for foreign movies lovers and all sport lovers too. It would be unwise for anyone of us to try to mount 3m dish in a rented apartment. It doesnt even matter as much as it would be in a situation where there's space constraint and one chooses to mount a big dish and encroach on the space of other without an easement.

Yes and No. In Nigeria that you and i are based isnt really ready for anything if we wouldnt be fooling ourselves. Look at Data cost for instance, does it make any sense? Look at the silly regulatory body NCC, are they really helping anyone? Look at the CPC, are they really protecting the consumers? MTN network is very poor in my house. AIRTEL, GLO and ETISALAT arent better either. Lets go to the Broadband ISP Swift 4G average. Spectranet will have 3 level signal strength out of 5. So IPTV requires high level DATA speed. I have IPTV boxes at home and its very annoying trying to watch live matches. I watched Man u vs Chelsea game 2 or 3 Sundays ago and it was hell. The freezing is comparable to that of qsat.

Picture quality, IPTV is incomparable
Local programmes like local Nigerian contents, IPTV scores 0/100. No Nollywood movies, local channels for local contents etc
Cost is on the high side compared with alternatives

Thanks for your time too. We will keep learning from ourselves till the day we breathe our last breath

Abi o. Data consumption alone is as high as 300MB for a complete footbal match, If not more. Also if the network is not strong enough in your area, forget it

Hahaha. Leave IPTV to those that can afford it.

Davodyguy
Expand your view
Local channels like tvc news, channels, iroko TV are on IPTV phoenix addon.

YES including Africa Magic and Orisun

mercyitodo:
Value for money= ibox 3030
Best decoder= tiger z series

Don't compare these boxes to strong

Note
Ibox 3030 only modem and wifi, no lan
Cost about 9000 with 3 months Gshare iks account.

I will pick tiger e400 (lan, modem, wifi) with 1 year Gshare iks account as best value for money.
Cost more but below 15k

Info on Gshare Sds
Gshare SDS is used by tlink, some tiger series and ibox diamond
With this account, you can watch without the need for data network. Its good for those in a poor network environment.

All you need is connect an extra dish to act as the data network.

Thank you my brother,my business/job i.e i deal in charcoal and timber and this requires me to stay in a place where we have glo 3g in some area but in my flat nothing like that.Just need a decoder that can serve even if it's with 4m dish but nothing to do with internet connection.

Do you have a 4m dish?
The extra dish must be a 90 cm dish pointed at 7e where you have Madagascar.
But note that Gshare iks mode opens more channels than Gshare SDS mode.

Decoders that support Iks and SDS mode are below

Tlink 900hd (only support lan)
Tiger T800
Tiger z950
Ibox diamond II
All are about 22k upwards

OK sir but also depends on budget

I already have 2 dishes installed, i think that should be 90cm you're talking about,one is normal dst** dish and my*v dish.I've been looking for dealers address concerning 4meters dish at ibadan we saw one,but my brother said the depth is not enough.Davodguy said i should contact sammu & malik that they have a contact at Sango where it's been cast,which i did but i think sammu is a busy man.Do you have any dealers contact and how do i measure the dept when purchasing how and how much?.

Boss,i'm a newbie all those terms please i don't understand but if you can really choose one for me.i.e if there's network problem i'll be good to go.What about Tiger Z1000 HD,thanks for your time.

I advise don't buy a local dish. If I see a foreign dish seller, I will send you a link.

Thank you very much i'll appreciate that God bless you sir.
