I will advise you stay with TStv.
Nigcomsat seems to be undergoing certain challenges. In fact most of the channels are now encrypted

Please somebody should advice me. I have 1M dish, which is better to install, Nigcomsat or TSTV free channels. Don't know if very soon TSTV will remove their free channels since they have started operation or it will take some time before they remove it.
Please advice me.

FoodCoca-cola To Produce Alcoholic Drink For The First Time In 125 Years by SimpleTee(op): 10:38am On Mar 08, 2018

Coca-Cola To Produce Alcoholic Drink

March 8, 2018
Oladeinde Olawoyin

FOR THE first time in Coca-Cola’s 125-year history, the company is planning to produce an alcoholic product in Japan.

The BBC reports that the company is keen to cash in on the country’s growing taste for Chu-Hi, a canned sparkling flavoured drinks given a kick with a local spirit called shochu.

The product is typically between 3 per cent and 8 per cent alcohol by volume.

A senior Coke executive in Japan told BBC the move was a modest experiment for a specific slice of its market.

Jorge Garduno, Coca-Cola’s Japan president said, “We haven’t experimented in the low alcohol category before, but it’s an example of how we continue to explore opportunities outside our core areas.”

As the mordern consumer becomes more health conscious, Coca-Cola has been diversifying from fizzy drinks, including buying water and tea brands.

Last November, Wells Fargo analyst Bonnie Herzog speculated that Coca-Cola might move into alcohol, as it looked to “premium segments such as adult craft beverages”.

The phrase alcopop, with which the Company hopes to model its alcoholic drink, typically refers to sweet but alcoholic drinks. In the 1990s UK brands of same content such as Hooch, Reef, Smirnoff Ice and Bacardi Breezer became hugely popular.

But they were controversial, raising concerns that they encouraged young people to drink alcohol in large quantities because “they were so easy to consume”.

It is, however, still unclear whether the alcoholic drink would be sold outside of Japan, Mr. Garduno noted.

I just stumbled on this thread

I dont really understand what u guys are talking about..

But I have an idea...
Something about getting free channels by tweaking decoders??
Oh no! Far from 'tweaking' of decorders.
Free To Air (FTA) are television (TV) and radio services broadcast in clear (unencrypted) form, allowing any person with the appropriate receiving equipment to receive the signal and view or listen to the content without requiring a subscription, other ongoing cost or one-off fee

There are so many satellites up there moving in geostatic fixed movement relative to the movement of the earth. So many organizations and bodies are broadcasting their signals in ordered, regulated regimes to prevent interference or jamming

The dish will be used to concentrate the signals to a focal point where an LNB is placed to amplify the collected signals which are then passed through a coaxial cable to an appropriate decoder. From the decoder the signals will be translated into the pictures and sounds we capture on our Tv sets.
In all of these, there are no monthly payment of subscriptions

In this forum we get to know more of these satellites, their locations, the frequencies of their transmissions and the contents of the information they carry.
Be they Religious transmissions, Sports, Educational, Informative etc

You are welcome on board

The scenario is best captured in her own words....

MY EXPERIENCE AT THE NIGERIAN CONSULATE, JEDDAH ON 15 JANUARY 2018

I ARRIVED at the consulate a few minutes before 10 am on the above-mentioned date with the aim of renewing my passport. The security guard at the gate did not speak English, so another consulate staff who was present attended to me. After asking what my business in the consulate was, he informed me that I had to unveil my face before I could be allowed entry into the premises.

I immediately protested – as this was at least the third time I was visiting the consulate and had never been asked to do this – but he showed me a notice pasted on the wall that all women were expected to unveil their faces before entry into, and all through their stay in, the premises. I explained to him that I could not do this, but was willing to be identified at the gate to fulfil any security requirements that may arise. He, the un-named consulate staff, however told me that this was not about identification.

When I asked what it was about, he said that this was not his job, and he was only trying to help, that I should discuss with the security men, and he left.

Thereafter the remaining men, at least three of them, started telling me that I had to either unveil my face and go in or leave the premises. I asked them to at least wait until my husband – who was still outside settling the taxi fare – arrived, and they relented.

When my husband came, I narrated what happened to him and he asked to see a senior consulate staff to explain my situation to him.

According to him, the man he saw confirmed that this was a new rule of the consulate and that I had to comply or wait for the Consul General (C.G.). As he returned to inform me of the result of this meeting, the security men, again, began to ask us to leave the premises. So, we left the interior of the security post to wait outside for the arrival of the C.G.

The C.G. arrived some time later and, on seeing us outside the consulate, asked why we were there. The security men told him that I had refused to remove my face veil, and he shook his head vehemently and ordered that I be denied entry. My husband went to talk to him, but he refused to grant him an audience. He – from a distance – told my husband that I HAD TO COMPLY AND UNVEIL MY FACE THROUGH OUT MY VISIT as was stated by the notice. And when my husband asked to be allowed to explain, and possibly negotiate my willingness to undergo identity checks for security purposes – as I’m used to doing in airports and other security sensitive facilities worldwide - he said he was not interested in listening to anything my husband had to say and asked him to vacate the premises.

Once he returned to me and was giving me the report of this aborted meeting, the security men once again came to us and ordered us to leave the vicinity of the consulate. They said Oga said we had to go away from there. At this point, both my husband and I told them that we would not move from there. We were law-abiding Nigerians who lived and worked in Saudi Arabia peacefully for over seven years now, and we had a legitimate business at the consulate which we have, so far, been unable to transact. They threatened us with police and bodily removal, but left us alone when we refused to leave.

Over the next six hours, different members of staff came to talk to us in a guise of goodwill and Muslim brotherhood.

They had a range of reasoning and arguments;
-This veiling of face is not in the Qur’an ,
-It is not compulsory,
-Are you saying that all the other women who have exposed their faces are going to hell?
-We are all Muslims here, so no one is trying to victimse you
-Allaah has seen your intention. Just do what is asked and go inside
-This is the rule of this place, obey.
-This place is under the Nigerian jurisdiction, you must obey Nigerian law.
-They can bring diplomatic police to arrest you.

All these were the things said directly to us, disregarding the taunts and snide comments made mostly by the security men and others who came to spend time with them at the security post, but when they saw that I would not unveil myself unrestrictedly, they all left eventually. However, at least two of these well-meaning consulate staff said a variation of, ‘This man – meaning the C.G. - will not budge on this matter.’
At least one swore by Allaah to that effect.

At about 2 p.m., I asked to speak to the C.G personally, but he sent the message that I could unveil my face then come in to see him.

After that, the bulky security man in all-green uniform came to me in an intimidating stance and asked me to move from where I was at the entrance of the consulate.

As my husband had left by then to bring our children – who had spent over three hours waiting with us in the sun – to the hotel, I was afraid for my safety as a woman alone and did what he asked. He told me to sit at the edge of the kiosk painted green and white, off to one side and away from the entrance or the security cameras.

Notably, only one member of staff – at about 3.30 pm – offered to intercede on our behalf with the C.G. But seeing as the C.G. drove off a few minutes after 4 pm, and we did not see the gentleman again till we left at 4.30 pm, I guess his mission was unsuccessful.

I have tried – all through this narration – to give a factual recollection of something that was, in truth, a harrowing and humiliating experience for me and my family. To stand outside in the Saudi sun for about seven hours – they refused to even let me in to pray salaah – for something as arbitrary as ‘this is the rule here’ without even attempting to listen to my case, or assist me in finding an acceptable solution or middle ground…..

And Allaah is Witness over all that we do.

i'm not surprised.

Let us be positive for once now!
TStv is "our own". We owe it a duty to support it.

Whatever may be the delays, it will be for a fantastic outing eventually.
Finally it must be borne in mind that up to date, not one kobo has anybody paid to TStv as subscription since they have been transmitting their channels freely as Free To Air for almost two months now

Please let us support our own homegrown Company

PoliticsPalpable Tension In Owo: Rotimi Akeredolu’s Town by SimpleTee(op): 2:44pm On Nov 25, 2016
There has been palpable tension In Owo, today Friday, being the eve of tomorrow's election.

Last night was said to have witnessed high and sustained gunshots fights apparently between PDP and APC adherents. Exact casualty figures are varied: but high. Ehinogbe, Owaluwa and Uka areas in the town were the hotspots of the imbroglio

By this morning many deaths have been recorded at the Federal Medical Centre, Owo where all the casualties were transferred after being given first aid treatments at the nearby private clinics

Names of those that have been confirmed dead included some innocent and those not so innocent who perhaps actually took active roles. Figures as high as nine are being quoted

The house of Afolabi Jamiu Ekungba, an APC chieftain is said to have been torched and burnt seriously. Jamiu Ekungba was one of those that took part in the September 3 APC primary which Rotimi Akeredolu won to pick the APC ticket.

Today is being marked as a work free day in Ondo State

A breaking news item on the air waves indicates that one of the aspirants of tomorrow's election, Dr Oluwadare Bada of the New Nigeria People's Party, NNPP, has announced his withdrawal from the race. It is being speculated that his withdrawal is a strategy to boost Eyitayo Jegede's chances.

Both Jegede and Bada are from Akure
