Ochuks, why are you posting like this?

All you posted in 12 different posts could have been concatenated into one post.

Why are you allowing HITV to derange you in this way?

@sology,

Got your msg and i am definately working on what we discussed.

I will get somebody to pick it up soonest.

Is that thing still working indpendent of its married partner?

yeah it is

proudly9ja:
EFCC is looking for Akingbola, Ibru, Adigwe, etc. None of these people where alleged to have stolen money or used their bank's money for personal or private use. Meanwhile the people who loaned the money and refused to pay back are hanging around Mr President. Abi Ibori and Dangote names no dey list wey commot some days back?

Bloody Hypocrites!

Food for thought

@maskuraid

No mind Toyin Subair and him Hitv. They came like sheep but we didnt know they were ravenous wolves.

He came claiming that he was out to let everyone in Niaja watch Paytv at an affordable rate. Hoodwinked ppl into signing up for hitv and then removed his covering for us to see his true nature.

They wan tell us how 6k per month for the nonsense they are providing is cheap and affordable.

I have space constraints and i will definitely explore the Nilesat, ETV etc that the guys in the FTA have been enjoying when i sort that out.

Though I may not need it by then cause DSTV may take the EPL back from HITV next season.

The content on dstv, am enjoying and when the Laliga and serie A starts from next week, i wont be missing the EPL that much

tkb417:
i no dey do campaign but i get interest in this thread cos the platform in question na my baby in one way or the other i cant disclose here
hehehe

Didnt I just know it?

For the survival of HITV, you had better pass on the message. 6k for subscription on top nothing but football, is not worth it. For individual/normal viewers, the subscription shouldnt be more than N4, 500.

The arrogance and pride will only lead to a had i known afterwards.

This is Nigeria and find alternatives or way to beat the hitv system, people must.

Have stopped paying for my hitv and moved the card somewhere in my drawer and now watching DSTV. So have a number of my friends.

Check the hitv thread and see all those that we started that thread with since Hitv rolled out. They have all switched to dstv.

@const6

what about our discussions on that issue?

You cant watch EPL on CTL if you are in Lagos.

They have arrangement with hitv for other parts of the country, notably south east

@all, you will get to realise that the football craze is just needless, really.
Dont kill yourself to watch a football match.

Thats why we have greedy individuals(wolves in sheep clothing) coming to hoodwink ppl with promises of cheap alternatives just to turn around and become monsters.

Refrain from subscribing and force their hands. You wont die for not watching EPL. They will realise it soon enough and revert to N4,500 subscription.

Besides, if they dont take time, they will lose that which they think they have from next year(EPL)

ilugunboy:
I have refrained from commenting on this viewing centers-Hitv palaver simply because to me Hitv seems to have run out of reasonable business ideas.

Let them close down all the viewing centers in Nigeria, that will not guarantee them of the return of so many subscribers that have left the platform.

Hitv failed to realized that football alone does not equate success in the pay-tv business.

Honestly after moving over to Dstv, I don't think having the exclusivity of all premium football tournaments will drive me back to Hitv.

For me, I prefer education and entertainment channels to football, and Dstv have these channels and so much more.

If they succeds to lock up all the viewing centers, I will stay in my house and enjoy the little ones available on Dstv.

Thanks Ilugun

@tkb417

20k per month multiplied by 12 is 240k its double the 120k per annum for Nilesat aljazera sport and with options of watching different matches at the same time.

So he knows what he is talking about

ozenyen:
i believe these guys in HITV are not smart enough.
how many viewing centre can they police? another way to make money for the Nigerian police.
Honestly i dont need the other stations offered by HITV,in there own interest they should categorise it as follows:
Football stations only N2500
Non football channels N3500
Both N6000
if not, as far as i am concerned no subscription
i will keep patronizing viewing centre.
after all the attraction to HITV was because it was cheap

Very good one. Its only football they have and they ought to really categorise it as you stated.
The notion that they came out so that Nigerians can afford paytv has been rubbished cause they are not cheap anymore(considering their content).
I would have it this way:

Football subscription: N2,300
The rest only: N2,200
If you want the full bouquet: N4,500

@tunde

You are right about the audience comments part. Its usually my worst part of the show. They ought to scrap that and get some knowledgable people in music to do the commenting.

PurestBoy:
Now these VC will start collecting N200 per match, How will an hungry sport man watch his team playing?

These are the events that would possibly kill the Premiership football enthusiasm and craze in the country.

@tayotfc,

You mean those of you who have always been doing the viewing center business abi?

There is a difference here. What about normal, regular viewers?

It would shock you that their are households that dont give a rat's ass about hitv nor all its football.

As long as they can watch all their latest series and movies and documentaries ,  hint hint (just so that you wont be so clueless)

tayoTFC:
@ sology
what Did DSTV has that Hitv does not have, sport channels, yoruba film channels, foreign films channels, english film channels, foreign news channels, local news channels, discovery african and foreign tell what else u want ?@sology how many times u have light self in ur area talkless of ur house? can u power on ur generator to wash any other programme except Sport.? be sincere .support our economy, go and pay if only u have Hitv at home, dont discourage the young enterprenuerer

lol, I can only laugh at this your post. I dont know where to start honestly   .
You really dont have a clue, do you?  

tayotfc,

6k per month for only football is not cheap and affordable . Get it

chic2pimp:
To the majority of nigerians satellite t.v is a luxury item and many can barely afford hitv. This means dstv would be out of their price range.

Is Hitv now affordable to the majority of Nigerians at 6k per month subscription? With nothing eles to show apart from football?

You have a dstv compact package which is 4,500 with much more content than hitv has only without EPL.

You guys havenet asked why hitv are talking about this crack down all of a sudden. Why didnt they do it last year when the going was good?

Its just because so many of us have refused to pay 6k per month to watch only football and instead have opted to go for richer content on DSTV.

They called up a number of us to find out why we are not subscribing and what we intend doing.
On hearing that most of us would rather go watch at a sportsbar or viewing center, they now decided to impose high  fees on them.

Is it better for them to charge those viewing centers 20k or for them to do what is reasonable and revert to the old fees to get back all their customers and many more customers too?

HITV are about to fail big time. I for one will not subscribe to hitv again even if all the viewing centers are closed down. I will enjoy all the content on dstb till next year when they yank the nonsense off the hi thieves hands

A lot of Bigs girls and Bigs boys on Nairaland

I wonder who dey manage all of una wealth all the while you are chatting here

Ujujoan:
If that's what you think, then so be it. But I dont think my desires has anything to do with my tribe. I'm not even a typical Ibo girl. I'm just Ibo by origin.

Does it get any more Typical than this?

Ujujoan:
@ Richy Black:

Thanks for your explicit analysis; and I must admit you are right!!

@ Muzbo;

You know that bile coming up your throat? Take a drink and swallow it down. Then take a hike in the lagoon to calm yourself  

@ Osisi;

Thank you jare. Pls help me tell them oh.


@ Soloqy:

Dont be a hypocrite!!

I no know how I one be hypocrite for this one.

I just wondered out loud why it had to be someone with an Igbo name posting the topic.

Living up the stereotype.

Oh man , and the poster just had to have an Igbo name.

These people keep giving us nwa-afors a bad name 

and living up the stereotype.

what do you expect?

When we have Mend and other Militants causing havoc in the Niger delta, Criminals and mammon worshippers kidnapping people for ransome in the east(exported from Naija delta), Crazy and blood thirsty jihadists raping , looting and killing in the north as Boko Haramists. It seems the only remaining sane area is the south west.

No really, what do you expect?

@twinstaye,

they dont reason before they take decisions. If they had level headed and intelligent people doing the thinking, they would understand that they are about to fail big time.

The only right thing for them to do is to revert to the old fees or at the most, make it N4, 500. Anything above that is a hard sell.

When you chase a rat and corner it so that it has no way to run, it goes for your legs with Teeth all bare and ready to bite if you dont get out of the way.

Thats what will happen with them and Viewing centers.

The name of the paytv game is subscribers, subscribers and more subscribers. Is it better that they keep charging 6k per month and people like us refuse to subscribe, prospective customers, also refuse to sign up because they dont feal its good enough value for their money, or for them to revert to the old fees and have those of us that have dumped them come back as well as many more new subscribers?

Some networks and content providers wont even talk with you if you havent got up to a certain number of subscribers so what are they really thinking?

my bros, I already said it in another place that its a fight they cannot win.

Hitv grew due to the goodwill of Nigerians so if they turn around to oppress the same people that helped them grow, they would be finally putting the nail on their own coffin. Its an outfit that is run by only one individual. So he can wake up one day and make a drastic and hasty decision.

The people are waiting for them.

odeotito:
QUITE CLEAR VIEWING CENTRE OPERATORS HAVE BEEN MAKING A KILL OVERTIME PAYING N4,000 TO RAKE IN WELL OVER 60K PER MONTH LESS OPERATING EXPENSES, ITS PAYBACK TIME!

Dude, so how did you come about that figure?

Its a fight you guys at hitv cannot win. Mark my words

[quote author=na_so link=topic=288825.msg4367221#msg4367221 date=1250518527]Its difficult for me not to believe that HITV and DSTV are working together behind the scenes. because b4 hitv one would get everything from DSTV, now while DSTV subscription has not reduced , the content has.

Now one can not have it complete except when both HITV and DSTV  are combined.
How I go dey pay 15k  every month for looking alone, when I am not one of the bank debtors EFCC is looking for? ABEG.[/quote]Bros, they are not working together anything. They are all doing their own thing.

ekonibaje:
i cant understand wat a true nigerian means?many view center around here as stop using hitv,i was told dat hitv wat to start charging view center 20,000 naira monthly,hw come,callg up the view center on phone dat der are task force nw .20,000 naira 4 wat.dis is nt proudly nig.ipls urfriend wat can u say abt dis.

ekonibaje,

Its a fight that Hitv cannot win. If they decide to fight the people then they should be ready to close shop. Instead of doing the right thing i.e reduce the fee back to N4,500, they are making noise in the newspapers about charging viewing centers 20k per month and hotels 150k. Thats absurd.

Its the sound of a confused and drowning company. Toyin Subair should just get off his high horse, push aside his over-bloated ego and do the right thing.

They are no way in the category of Dstv so they shouldn't start now to misbehave.

For all their people who read this forum messages, you have to understand that paying 6k per month just to watch champions league and Premier League is a hard sell.

I watched the Manu vs Birmingham match as well as the Man city vs Blackburn match. I also watched up to three portugese league live matches on super sport max. I watched the barcelona cup match yesterday night as well as the Real madrid friendly on saturday. I watched the IAAF championships live. All on DSTV. Plus , i could watch all the movies, documentaries and news i wanted at all times.

I am getting used to it by the day and i will not be paying for hitv subscription just yet.

(I watched my arsenal match at viewing center on saturday so no shaking).

They say on their site and on billboards "We won the Champions league just for you" . Who sent them on that errand?

They should have left it for DSTV and AIT and focussed on their premiership and leave the subscription as it was.

Its good, investigative work by the EFCC.

I just hope some people will stop envying supposedly successful bankers and *business people* and hoping to be like them.

Its increasingly obvious that its all a lie and that most of them, normally would not be able to afford their lifestyle without some kind of stealing and fraud.

From the Top-dogs to the foot-solidiers.

Riola has the tendency to get carried away by the cheering and stray off( off note, off course, off purpose).

She has got to watch it. Its primarily a singing competition and the other things like dancing and shaking are just perks.

She was my favorite from the regional auditions but from her two performances, she seems to be loosing focus of the *singing*.

From their performances, my favorites for now are(in this order) the two Lagos girls, Ovie and Tamara, Jon, Tarila, would have added the angelic voices here but i think their singing in a group gives them an advantage over others so Riola would come before them.

I hear DSTV has created a new subscription package that is N1,500. I dont know the channels that would be there but i guess they will pack it with local stations and africa magic and maybe E! . I also hear that the compact package will now be N4, 500 and the Premium N9,500. The family will remain N2,500.

Can anyone confirm this?

I wonder if it was Damilola's suggestive dancing that made the judges put her on probation.

I dont understand what they meant by "your singing and voice was good but we are not sure about the *other things*"

Just watching this weeks performances.

Its clear that this season's singers are better than the last season's singers.

Tomiwa and Mike's performances blew me away.
