Many small businesses and even homes incur 2 bills that are not essential needs in the real sense of it but many people feel they cannot do without them -Internet and satellite television subscription.

Would it not be nice to have one solution that provides you with both at a cheap rate? This is exactly what the newly-launched TSTV is bringing. You can depending on how heavily you use data for example, subscribe to Internet and satellite TV for N3,000 per month or even less if you are a light user. Some people pay higher rates to get Internet on their smartphones alone. This for us is the real game-changing proposition that TSTV has over DSTV and StarTimes which are currently No. 1 and 2 in the Nigerian satellite/Pay-TV market.

TSTV explains it thus:

“We will pioneer the introduction of Smart set top boxes in Nigeria DTH industry.” it set-up box as the following features:

“HD SMART Set Top Box (Connected Set top box) converts your existing LED TV into a Smart TV besides showing you more than 100 Channels & services in High Definition and Standard Definition. While the DTH tech in it brings television channels in Standard Definition and High Definition, the Connected set top box allows one to browse content from Twitter, Facebook, Daily Motion, video on demand sites, Over the Top, OTT apps, news, weather etc. through applications residing on STB. Our HD Smart Set Top Box will work as a tool for personalization, engagement, and new customer experiences and with internet connectivity, one can convert one‘s TV into a smart TV using it. Subscribers are entitled to a complementary 20GB internet capacity every month and this service is available for extension on demand.

“TSTV STB Back-Office End-to-End Solution is an easy-to-maintain solution for delivering TV, Video-On-Demand, and interactive services to end users who use LAN. It suits for schools, hospitals, hotels, communities, securities firms and so on.

“TSTV STB platform also includes in-built fast Wi-Fi, up to 802.11ac, 1 GBit/s Ethernet and USB 3.0 interface. TSTV STB supports built-in Bluetooth 4.0, RF for hybrid remote controls and support of Smart Home services via Zigbee/Thread standard. Multichannel video recording is possible via fast external USB 3.0 hard disks up to 50 Gigabyte capacity. Our Smart STBs also have the capacity to make video calls with other TSTV subscribers via IP.”

Not only can you watch the channels that TSTV is having on its satellite platform, you can also stream other content from the Internet including but not limited to YouTube.

TSTV Purchase and Subscription Rates

TSTV decoder plus dish goes for N5,000 (you might have to pay extra for installation which is a separate service).

As you can see, very attractive rates:

TSTv daily plan – N200 plus 500MB
TSTv 3 days plan – N500 plus 1GB
TSTv Weekly plan – N750 plus 2GB
TSTv 10 days plan – N1,000 plus 3GB
TSTv 2 Weeks plan – N1,500 plus 5GB
TSTv Monthly Plan – N3,000 Plus 10GB

This kind of ‘democritization’ of Satellite TV and Internet access to Nigerians is likely to unleash our creativity and force the likes of DSTV and StarTimes to provide similar or better services.

Let's first hear from people that have been able to purchase and use the service for sometime. Give us Feedback with pictures.

observing..

I must buy this

As long as TStv goes ahead with the features they promised, like 20gb data, Wi-Fi hotspot via the in-built Wi-Fi, PVR, 500gb inbuilt storage, with unlimited expansion via external storage, Video conferencing utilizing its inbuilt camera, plus all the channels listed on their website, then TStv will succeed.

Who don buy and the use am eeeeee?

Let's get first hand feedback first .
Until then,...

lets here frm ur subscribers....

I might not be a complete expert at this ,but the knowledge of technology I have so far makes something suspicious about TSTV
(except I am not understanding the whole thing properly)
If you notice they keep mentioning data ,data ,data
My fear is that the data would be shared between your normal "hotspotting" and the stations you are viewing (so e go be like say you dey stream video on youtube with your data ).Does that mean the thing go quick finish
As much as Its an awesome news ,it still sounds too good to be true
Because they won't only be taking DSTV down,MTN,AIRTEL,GLO,SPECTRANET,SMILE are all going down

let me wait for all the "lab rats" to buy it first ,if there is good feedback I will buy two

hmmmm

mehn........ i can wait to see the reactions of dstv staff

I love this real good if only the privatisation of the power sector had gone through this process by now power would have greatly increased tremendously in Nigeria. Wao TSTV you guys rock

A sure game changer

I don tire for dis online TSTV. How come person no fit see d tin buy na?

It's too good to be true abeg!

The network may just be like glo own

Human Beings are just like weather. The same people singing praises of this company would soon change their tune when they discover they are simply chasing a Fantasy.

nice

Abegi we need testimonies, enuf of all dese adverts

Ok

I only wonder how Tstv stations compare to dstv stations because from the information I've come across recently, if care is not taken, Tstv will end up only competing against Gotv and Star times and not dstv.

Abeg na who don buy am ,make we hear user experience

Too much talk already.

Am surfing with my free tstv data since yesterday. Thanks to tstv for this wonderful experience
