like play like play HiTV is folding up,

I think the owner/CEO is a very stubborn person. Just look at this forum, most of us here started with Hitv and were supporting them against DSTV but almost all of us that started with this thread from the beginning have switched to DSTV.

It should be alarming to the owners cause this is just the reflection of what could be happening outside. I hope they see reason, shelve their over-bloated ego and revert to the old sub fees. The only addition that would make sense would be N500. Not more than that.

The more the merrier. Its better they have many more subscribers paying and new subscribers signing up at N4, 500, than fewer subscribers paying 6k.

Its their call anyway. We are all watching

maskuraid,

How u dey?

I dont think you need to install another dish to use DSTV(thats if you were thinking of getting it).

I am using the same dish that i used for hitv to get dstv since they both face the same sattelite.

And if you get the dual card strong decoder that people are talking about now, you would have been able to use it for the two with one dish.

@soloqy
Hello broda, long time! You couldn't have said it better. I've been kept away from this thread cos I've been having a great time since I moved over to DSTV. After the wedding, the wife compelled me to upgrade to DSTV Premium from Compact and trust me, I haven't regretted it for a minute.

Yes, 9k monthly is a lot of money. I'm not that rich yet, but I can see I am getting great value for my money.

I'll never understand why HITV thinks they can make folks pay more money for less and poorer quality content, talkless of appalling customer care. If they don't know why their subscribers are not renewing their subscriptions then they are even worse businessmen than I thought.

How you dey jare my brother?

Hey switched, whats up?

Congrats on the wedding bro. No be small thing o.

Hope alls well with madame .

I just upgraded to dstv premium.

Well to say that Dstv is very senior to hitv would be an understatement.

Anyways, i decided i would stick with the laliga and the two live premiership matches per week from dstv plus all the entertainment and the other football options available.
There is no way i will pay 6k just to watch premiership and champions league.
Whenever Arsenal is playing, I will go to a sports bar.


@micros
Stop feeling tough. The only reason i can imagine you are watching the premiership on CTL in the east, is because HITV has sold them some right to show it over there.

Its not because of some bravado on the part of the CTL owners nor on your part.

Get it right, as of now, HITV has the sole rights to the premiership in the whole of Nigeria and no other Network.

I cant believe that the owner of CTL would brazenly infringe on another persons right knowing the consequences.

If on the other hand, they are stealing it and showing it illegally, whether they are feeding from showtime, aljazeera or wherever, then rest assured that they will be arrested and thier offices locked up soon enough.

I dont think that would be the case though cause i believe CTL has an arrangement with Hitv just as they had with DSTV to show CNN, cartoon network and a few other stuff some time ago.

And its a bad nollywood movie with terrible script.

savannah . Just found out today that the show is on Sound city on dstv

Was Vivien told she had to lose in that task?

Cause I dont understand why she was crying on the morning of the task (long before the task).

She would not join the other three to gist or sing or even discuss.

I find that strange. And the crying after her eviction showed she was very hurt. Not like the others who were evicted and knew they were beaten

My heart bled for Vivien when she became emotional after the task. She wanted so much to do well.

The smally tried very much.

Now we are left with Chisom who wont stop talking.

But really the GUS script writers ought to be a little more imaginative and ingenius with tasks.

They should be able to get tasks that require brains as much as it requires brawns( at least to give the girls a fighting chance

donaremu:
Hello all,

Has HiTV called anyone? They called me and my uncle.

HiTV is calling their subscribers. They want to find out why people have not being renewing their subscription, as if that is not obvious enough.

@donaremu thats very funny.

They dont need any Ifa priest or oracle to tell them why.

I am enjoying all the hassle free options on DSTV compact. And rather than pay 6k to hitv for only premiership and champions league without any claim on quality entertainment, I would rather pay the 9k Premium of DSTV and watch all the Laliga, Serie A, Three Live English Premiership matches per week, French Championat, All the Grade A friendlies and world cup qualifiers, MLS, Scotish Premiership, Brasilian league and also all the world cups both junior and senior. Add that to all the great movies, documentaries, series and realities that you too can testify of.

Bros, hitv are digging their own grave

bootycall:
Vivien is out,my heart is shattered

My heart bled for her when she became emotional after the task. She wanted so much to do well.

The smally tried very much.

Now we are left with Chisom who wont stop talking.

timmy7:
Eya! Wale is this,wale is that so this is where she also draws d curtain

@timmy

Everyone there had something bad to say about wale so let the smally be

someone should tell chisom to cut down on the overly long answers she gives when asked a question. Its becoming embarrasing since expressing herself fluently, is a challenge to her.

She should learn from Vivian with the short and sharp answers.

@RichyBlack

Ok , now the Boko Haram monsters will never see your family abi?

But its ok for them to see other peoples families and maim and kill them while you are hear salivating and talking your crap.

Why not be as non-charlant and unsympathetic about your family members as you have expressed by refusing to look at the other people's angle.

LILY LIVERED SWINE.

If you get an encounter soon enough, will you be able to handle it?

You remember that.  

If this battle is brought to your doorstep, will you be able to stand?

[edit]

Like i said earlier, we know where your concern lies. Those people that you are supporting from other parts of the country that are also causing mayhem in the country will receive the same soon enough(together with their sponsors and supporters).

Its not about running your mouth on a forum on the internet.

Do you have enough in you to stand?

@RichyBlack

Like someone already said, Keep eating your biscuit in some far away place and be typing your sentimental nonsense.

We know the real reason you are concerned. Those other criminals causing mayhem in other parts of the nation(Who you support), will face it next time they attack the millitary.

If you lost any one at the hands of the Haram monsters, you will probably not be typing the jargon. And so goes to the rest of you.

Lets hope you recieve the news of your relatives or loved ones killed by some remaining members of the jihadists and lets see the stomach you would use to come over here to type your bull crap.

Majority of you stay away in some far away place and type things you know virtualy nothing about.

You can tell from the posts of *some* of those who are sympathetic to the killed jihadists, that they are not entirely sincere.

They are really not crying out for the sake of the jihadists that were killed(who by the way, killed innocent people as well).

They are in fact thinking about some other criminals in other parts of the country who are also causing mayhem in the nation.

Their thinking being that the same thing that happened to the jihadists, may soon get to these other criminals whom they support.

They wont read where the jihadists maimed and killed innocent Nigerians but will only read and project where they are killed while resisting arrest or engaging the police in battle.

Someone here claimed his journalist friend, by some dint of fate, was right there when the Yusuf was killed and straight away some Simpletons are jumping about like they have hot coal in their bosoms, all believing the nonsense.

The police identified him as a journalist and still allowed him to watch them execute someone. What bleeding nonsense.

If they attack the police and engage them in gun battle, the police should shoot to kill. Period.

They come here giving us references of the western world as if the police in the west will just look on while they are being shot at without shooting back to kill.

@Beaf

So what dont you understand in what was posted?

My Own worst enemy.

Season 1 just started on Mnet action. I need to go get the full thing.

A bit of 24(in the action) and can be funny too.

Here is something about it : http://www.nbc.com/My_Own_Worst_Enemy/

sherry lo:
@Sology please try to learn!when a criminal is in police custody,they try to get words from him and know the other people involve not just kill straight away!

They merely silenced him so as not to involve some people! they didn't help the case!

You dont know that for sure. The Islamist is thought not to value his life nor that of another. If he dies, whether by his own hands or another, he believes he is going to enjoy in paradise. And the more the pain he suffers before the death, the more the enjoyment and goodies.

You dont know for sure yet what happened. Did he die from gun shot wounds? You cant just come out to say he was executed whi9le in custody.

Besides, the case of the leader dying in custody is not the issue but the unreasonable thinking here that the police and soldiers should allow themselves be killed and butchered before they can *arrest the jihadists* . Thats absurd.

And if you have ever been in the force or have any friend who is in the military, you would understand that when a colleague is killed, there is no way they would protect the perpetrators or the *people behind them* as you call them. Its a more personal issue when a colleague is killed so forget about them trying to protect any body behind the jihadists.

tkb417:
Africa are not developed cos of people like him in power

Exactly . Summary of it all

larez:
Your ignorance is very scary. This is the mentality that leads Nigerian Police to act the way they do. I will reiterate, that not one innocent life lost in the shooting by the Police is worth it. Those people should have been arrested and safely secured in jails, while they await their day in court. We are civilized people and not Animals. What rock did you crawl out from underneath?

I will also ask you hypocritical apologist. Are the soldiers and police supposed to sit and look at them or try to arrest them while being shot at without defending themselves? So if in the process of trying to arrest them, they resist by firing at the police(which is what happened in many cases) then what?

You are talking of innocent people being killed. Are you for real? Are you one of those fools that stay away in some foreign land to say things they know nothing about?

Did you not realise or in your case, read how the monsters pulled innocent people from their cars and shot them? Or did you not read of schools and churches and businesses that they set ablaze? Did you not read how they murdered people they percieved as educated in cold blood.

Just carry on going around with your head in your ass and soon enough you are going to smell it.

Once again, you wont get any commendations for trying to sound politicaly correct.

@larez

If you are the person that posted that on the other forum, then dont think you will get any commendations for that. Thats another attempt at trying to sound politicaly correct.

Pray what do you expect the Nigerian police and army to do in the face of attacks by men with weapons? Sit idly and be butchered because the attackers are allegedly Nigerians? Please save us that nonsense.

People like you are actually a *part* of our problems in this country. You never call a spade a spade. You just want to sound knowledgable and politicaly correct.

The police people and army people that were butchered by the monsters, are they not Nigerians? Dont they have families that have now been thrown into grief.

If the monsters die during a shootout with police, then so be it. If they die while being interrogated, so be it.

Enough of this bull-crap. Really

They are still letting the blood-thirsty islamic leaders who caused so much bloodshed to continue spreading the demonic message even while in custody?

Just get the leaders that caused so much carnage and kill em. Chikena

Izunwa:
But come to think of it, he has a piece of d map and I didn't see them collect it from him, who knows? They might call him back becos of the map.

If they do call him back , then i would revert my post and realise that they are still playing the *best gulder bill board model* game.

And i would immediately hand over the title to him cause that would be the case.

People, the season that Lukan won the GUS, someone was evicted because he misplaced the Totem(He was from the south east). In fact his own was terrible cause he retrieved the Totem but he was shown a video of where he had earlier misplaced the TOTEM.

Its not the first time someone is being evicted for misplacing a Totem so all you guys playing the tribalism card should just shut it.

After GUS 1, I started hating GUS because it became very predictable who would emerge winner. You could just tell by looking at the contestants, who would become the eventual winner.

Of course, the GUS organisers got a lot of condemnation for that and i guess they have probably decided to come clean and make it as unpredictable as they can so that the strongest, *luckiest*, smartest , would win.

Wale was a strong contender but his arrogance got rid of him. The first girl that left(Ada), did say and i quote "in his strength, lies his weakness". When he was asked about the missing Totem(before the eviction), he non-charlantly stated that it was not only his fault but every other person too, thereby refusing to fully take responsibility.

The writers of the script, from day one, have always attached great awe and importance to the TOTEM(I fail to understand the bloody reason why) so his non-charlant attitude to losing it must have miffed them coupled with the fact that they have sent someone home before for losing the totem.

I think they have decided to make this years search unpredictable and as such, anyone can win, maybe even a girl this time.

With Wale's looks, he would have made for the best gulder billboard or poster so his eviction tells me that they dont want to go that way again because of the public outcry that greeted the last four episodes.

He was a big contender but let his arrogance becloud his thinking and sense of judgement.

I will miss him though cause he seemed to be getting on every other contestants nerves and that was exciting

chei!!! Ochuks is really pissed
Ol boy take am easy o,jst leave HITV, They've started going about saying they won the UCL just for us, who send dem? because of the UCL, we have to be exploited, uhmmmmmn!!! God dey sha. Where is urfriend? The guy don break in relationship with HITV ni? Abeg show, let's discuss serious talk as brodas!

Exatly!

@Ochuks, there is no point bursting an artery here over HITV adding a movie channel or not. If they had immediate plans for that, urfriend would have been fast in breaking that news.
As you are not hearing anything from him, it means there is nothing in the works now so you can either live with it or find an alternative(some of us have moved to other alternatives).

I am on dstv compact and there is always something to watch whether music, with 5 music channels or documentary with three documentary channels(history channel now comes on from day-time till about 11pm). That makes 4 documentary channel. Of course you know the other entertainment package.

I watch pre-season matches on SS select. Frankly, I am thinking that instead of paying 6k just for football and another 4,300 for my dstv compact, I should instead pay 9k for the DSTV premium package.

Why? Well, hitv added Champions league which is a bi-weekly tourney and which goes on breaks at certain times and because of that, want me to pay 6k without them adding any other channel with any entertainment value. So hitv in reality, only has EPL and champions league as the main football content they have.

Really, how many people here stay up till the wee hours of the morning to watch their Copa suda-whatever? The CAF champions league is hardly what i would break a sweat over.

But in my perusing these things, I realise that if i pay the 9k premium bouquet for dstv, I get, in addition to what am already getting, three more documentary and reality channels, five more movie channels.

For football i would be getting: La-liga, French League, Italian League(The grade a matches. Hitv on the other hand,will always show palermo and udinese never a match-up like MILAN vs Inter), Portuguese League, Dutch league(ESPN), Scottish League(ESPN, they just got the right), MLS(ESPN), Brasilian League(ESPN), English Premier League( Three matches per week. Yes, we seem to have forgotten that DSTV has 20% of the EPL), All the world cup qualifiers, English FA cup, UEFA CUP, All the grade A International Friendlies, Arsenal TV(watch delayed matches couple of hours after), Manu Tv, Chelsea Tv, Liverpool Tv, Barca Tv, Real TV, etc.

So people, help me peruse and tell me why one shouldnt pay for the premium bouquet. Yes 9k may be steep but in comparison with what the *proudly nigeria people* are giving us, its a great deal.

I just cant think of why i should pay 6k per month because of Champions league and Premiership and nothing else. Since am now getting used to the quality and content on DSTV, i would have to pay for dstv as well so i better pay for just DSTV premium. I will catch any live grade a premiership match at a sports bar.

Am i missing something here? Is there some kind of salary or reward for being moderator or assistant mod?

Dclique don dey campaigne across all the boards for here so am wondering.

Highlights on which stations and what time?

Whatever man.
You have a pretty high notion that *millions* of people enjoy the show. Thats delusional.
As for me and my house, we dont need to force ourselves not to like the show.

The show itself has taken care of that part and i am not a bandwagon person . I think for myself.

So enjoy.


ps

You dont need to reply my post with a *smart alec* response in order to start a back and forth argument on this.

I am done with it and thats why my post is with a tone of resignation and finality.

There is too much work to be done bro than to waste on this

enjoy

@philip

Cant you allow people to have their opinion of the show whether good or bad?

Why do you feel obligated to defend dbanj or the credibility of the show?

You like it, good but dont attack those who dont. You are neither Dbanj nor one of the contestants of the show.

Great, let them make all the money. Some people are pointing out the effect such a show may have on Dbanj.

Bro, not everything in life is measured in Naira and kobo. There is need for re-orientation for so many people in Nigeria.

Thats why we never get things right.

For so many Nigerians, the end justifies the means. Thats an evil under the sun.

well said @omar

That they are prolific in producing movies does not put them in the class of Hollywood nor Bollywood nor even the british and french movie industry.

@poster, you are referencing wikipedia. Wikipedia is user generated content so i can go there one morning and add that soloqy is a super hero that saves the world, and sure as heaven, you will get to read it one day.

micros:
MyHiDaar,  Hitv no get right to stop CTL from showing those matches . CTL office in Onisha shows those matches while Hitv regional office is in Asaba. They are not hidding it. Go to Owerri, Enugu, Benin, P/h etc they are their with cristal clear pictures of EPL, and Aljazera Champions league. Plus carling cup. In movies they have; mbc4, mbc2, Star movies. All for just 2.5k. Even after their problem with Metro and cmtv, what happened? ofcourse, their customers never stopped watching all those matches. So, go get yours and lets forget Hitv with their 6k.

@micros, You dont understand how this thing works. HITV has the sole right to air EPL in the *Whole* Nigeria territory. Talking of rights, they have the right to Lock up the premises of CTL, arrest the Manager(it happened to the DSTV guy when they continued airing Laliga after hitv got the rights) and prosecute them in court.

The only logical reason for CTL to be airing the EPL as you say is what Raskimono said, and that is that they pay HITV to air in other smaller regions where they have a strong hold.
Why do you think they are not airing it in Lagos? If they have the stomach and the heart as you are alluding here, why are they not airing the EPL in Lagos?
Rights are Rights and there are legal implications of any company infringing on another's Rights.

Let not the people here in Lagos be decieved into going to get CTL cause you wont be watching any football, trust me.

micros:
For me, am not bothered about EPL champions league , and CARLING CUP because in the East here we are enjoying all the l eagues with CTL at just 2.5k and they have promised to show us all the matches again these season. And the must exiting thing is that they show them with SHOSPORTS and ALJAZERA. How can we waste our hard earned 6k for Hitv. God forbid.

Bros, you for just close ya mouth o.

If the Hitv ppl read this, you guys will stop watching the premiership again o.

Except CTL has some kind of arrangement with hitv in the east. I know they had that kind of arrangement with DSTV for the east(Enugu)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh,




What did i just hear and see on Facebook?

My goodness! If they dont send that girl out of that house immediately, then they should close that show ASAP.

In fact , the government should put an urgent ban to save our faces(This an emergency situation).

"EFCC IS UNDER YAHOO YAHOO" ? Thats what that girl said.

My earlier comments and reservations concerning this show, have been proven right.
