No wonder they wont let Igbos Go?!

BumbleBee007:
The only reason i'm interested in this TSTV decoder is if they will be airing the German Bundesliga, French Ligue 1, Italian Serie A and the Dutch Eredivisie?.... Otherwise, it wouldn't mean a damn thing to me!... And that's because DSTV don't afford its customers with the aforementioned.

mployer:
He will need a miracle to pull this through.


There isn't much on his profile.

But why mike adenuga and co no fit setup something better compared to dstv.

Another MMM Scam. Everybody beware.

These TSTV guys are actually reckless. I am really surprised that they brought the minister into this.
I believe that this is another MMM. Buyers beware. This is based on the following:
1. Bein sports acquired the EPL, Champions League and Laliga only for MENA (Middle East and North Africa). They do not have the right for Nigeria. DSTV owns the rights for Nigeria till 2019. You cannot give what you do not have. When a new service is launched, you have to wait for the next bidding round to have a shot at acquiring the rights. You cannot jump in the middle and start showing it. Things are not done that way in the PayTV world.

2.
A lot of channels listed like CNN, National Geographic, Discovery etc were acquired by DSTV on an exclusive basis for DTH in sub-saharan Africa by DSTV. Channels like Star Movies, MBC2, etc are only cleared for middle east and Asia. I really doubt that they have the rights to those channels. They may show it for one or two months before they are asked to take them off air.

3.
I check with a content aggregator on the cost per subscriber for these channels, assuming they can buy the rights, it came out the about 23 USD per month. That is excluding the sports channels. Based on today's naira exchange rate of 365 naira to a dollar, the cost is 8,395 Naira per subscriber. The content owners globally charge per month for their content. They do not charge per week or part of the month. The content owners dictate the terms. Nobody can pay 8395 Naira and charge 3000 Naira. Not possible.

4.
The cost of decoder package is as follows - decoder 25 USD, smartcard 4 USD, dish is 5 USD. Total is 34 USD (12410 naira). If we add shipping and clearing, you can get 15,000 Naira. To charge 5000 Naira for the package, you will need a lot of cheap money from bank to fund the decoder purchase. Buying 15,000 and selling 5000 sounds interesting to me.

5.
To do internet via satellite, you need VSAT equipment which is expensive compared to the dish/lnb you need to receive dstv. Minimum cost of vsat equipment should be not less than 50,000 Naira. If you use the traditional dish equipment, you can only receive. You cannot do internet with it. Unless TSTV will supply you 40,000 Naira vsat equipment for 5000 Naira.

6.
I went to lyngsat and checked the ABS 3A satellite, I did not see any information about any TSTV channels. Lyngsat is the database of all channels currently on satellite.

7.
When you launch a new DTH platform, you start with a test transmission. This allows you to work through some issues that might come up. It also gives people chance to see some of your channels to make sure they are real before committing their money. There is no test transmission from TSTV.

8. EFCC Fraud Charges
EFCC arrested this guy last year for fraud. Not credible.

In conclusion, people should ask enough questions before investing their hard earned money. If it is too good to be true, it's probably is. Let this not be another MMM.

handsomeyinka:
I sincerely don't understand why you wasted so much of your time to type this rubbish,that's the effect of smoking cigarette from the opposite side.

Let us support this guy to bring competition to other cable operators,if this guy was a white dude you will support his ideas but just because his a Nigerian,you won't support is ideas.

For you to have all this analysis in your write up,I see no reason why you can't be the CEO of dstv but just because You keep smoking the cigarette from the wrong side,it will always affect your thinking...

I support TSTV not because am an Igbo man,but because it will add more jobs to our economy,create more competition and it will also encourage other rich Nigerians to do similar things...

Lloydfather:
So u register this moniker yesterday because u want to sabotage another success.

I pity u with the way u reason. U dont understand business that's why u spew all this rubbish thinking u can succeed in destroying this man.

Pls go and tell ur master DSTV that they succeeded in stopping the production of dongles but they will never succeed in stopping Tstv.

PapaNnamdi:
Shove this rubbish up ur anus,
Dstv staff,

5000 naira is not enough to cause a heart attack,
Even if it is only Nta showing, we will buy it and use it like that till they grow,
Considering wat glo did to mtn,
Tstv must stay

Flaghouse1:
Thank you very much for this noble contribution to the discourse .
@ bolded refers- if this guy was a white dude you will support his ideas but just because his a Nigerian,you won't support is ideas. if the guy was one American or a British named RILEY NIGEL the idiot will not spew out this trash analysis ,the CEO is a young chap let us rally round him to make this project a success in order to reduce the grip of DSTV dominance in our cable market in Nigeria and may be with time TSTV will be a fully Nigerian brand

Kog45:
Are u not happy Echefu set this up.Abi what are u saying

moonraker:
Am sorry �, am I missing something here?

Why is everyone on here raining curses on a particular poster

For laying down the facts as they are. Didn't tstv promise bein sports etc

And failed to mention a single detail about that during their launch party??

I sincerely hope they succeed and give dstv a run for their money but they

Will have to do better than what they have now to bump off the competition.

nuland:
Bro, I have been on NL since 2010, have had 2 accounts( one after the other) but deleted them 'cos most times it worthless commenting.
Prefer visiting as a visitor but your comment on TSTV and the bashing you have had prompted me to immediately create an account to admonish you to save your energy, Nigerians will never learn.
TSTV is a way bigger scam than MMM.

1.N3000 is way less than $10 with all that content?

2. Dish, decoder and other accessories including 20GB for N5000? I have been in the system for 9years now even though I am a small scale player.

Mr Lai Mohammed the honorable Minister should have some advisers with knowledge of pay TV and how it works who would have done thorough check on TSTV and her products before jumping on that ship, If TSTV fails or dies on Arrival, other countries shall mock us as a country with gullible leaders.
Save your energy and channel to better and more productive venture than trying to explain to them that TSTV isn't what is seems.
