make una wait

them speak igbo or not??

They blasted igbo like mad .

Dont give out the hitv equipment. You never know.

About the TV 5 Monde. Yeah I did a little bit of french some time back and i would like to use that as an avenue to brush up and try to keep abreast. If you leave the language, it leaves you. And its been really long since i left the language.

And the French championat would be an added incentive.

@switched
My brother, I just went to the Program guide on dstv website and Hallmark has year 2005 even to 2008 movies they show. I always thought that Hallmark was a channel for classical movies but am surprised. Not the pre-millenium movies we are used to on the mix and SET

Another reason am excited is that Idols is on Mnet series. Cant wait till monday.

As for Hitv, they may yet keep the premiership next time around but I will be watching em sparingly.

I am beginning to wean myself of football(moreso now when that professor at Emirates keeps messing things up for us). My very close friends are not so mad about football and all have dstv instead of hitv.

I am the one who is so particular about football.

I watched the saturday's football at a viewing center and it wasnt such a bad idea so i may just go that way for football and stick with the Entertainment at DSTV

donaremu, isnt that funny? One is complaining that they dont have enough content and now we have to do without two more.

Anyways, @switched, I am getting ready for the Football Season-end and I got the Dstv card from const6 but i havent paid for subscription yet.

I want to pay for the compact cause am pleasantly surprised that BBC entertainment and TV5 Monde are part of the bouquet.

So how are you enjoying the dstv? Which bouquet did you pay for? compact , family or the whole ten yards? .

I will be going to pay 4 d compact on monday. My hitv subscription expired yesterday and am really having second thoughts on paying for it.

I mean, the season will be over in just about a month plus and i also am short of two channels from hitv so whats the point ? When I ll be paying the dstv N4, 300 with top-draw entertainment.
The way i see it, it maybe next football season before i pay for hitv again.

I will miss the Amazing race and Leverage though.

@switched

Called the guy again today. He says its still available. Its 15k .

Just set up a yahoo mail add that you can post online that you wont use for serious things. Post the yahoo email here and i will send you the guy's number to the address.

@const6

trying your number. If its off switch it on. Need to talk about that DSTV smart card.
and what is the DSD 900 decoder about? How different is it? Is it different from the strong dual sim decoder that am told is around now?

@switched, so its not an upgrade issue afterall? I dont know what it is they are doing but its frustrating.

Above is the scam mail that has been going out for weeks now from criminals and fraudsters .

So you believe no one will fall for it? Think again. There has been reported cases of stolen funds by people who naively "updated" their account information at the site provided by the thieves.

The thing is that that the thieves are just masking their real address with  an interswitch link cause if you are browsing with opera, when you click on it, the real url will show and the supposed webpay interswitch page is only a subdomain in the criminal site. So how careless can one be to overlook such details and still input his/her pin and number?

Well, Netcraft has reported the site as a phishing site and thus anyone that still loses money to them needs to be hit over the head with something.

Also, why is HITV's wikipedia page already listing BET as one of the channels. Is anybody already getting this or is it some marketing gimmick? Check the link out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiTV

@switched

Its wikipedia and that means any one can edit and add anything there. I can assure you that no one is getting it yet.

The hikids/hilife issue is a mess. Its their network. So is it now discriminating amongst decoders?

Utter Nonesense. I cant I magine this happening with DSTV for so long without any resolution or way forward.

Am not even going to bother asking urfriend anything anymore. One is disillusioned about the whole thing.

That guy's music is decadent.

And i mean it in every sense of the word.

Add to that, the paucity of invention and originality and you wonder how people like KEKE and D1 would be promoting such nonsense.

They seem to love promoting such collections of reprobate thoughts(they call it music).

The other one they are promoting with the same make up as Olu maintain is Kelly handsome or whatever he calls himself.

Seeing that there has not been a response from urfriend nor Rahymm, and no access to customer care on this issue, so what can one say?

I actually pay subscription to receive the full bouquet or are we being moved against our wish to the 2k package?

What is the issue here? Are we not to use strong decoders anymore? Are there particular strong decoders that are recommended?

This issue beats me.

pushkin:
my dear i can neva lose cos[b] i av his[/b] recorded phone conversation of how[b] she [/b]entered my acc and took money without my knowledge.

Is it a she or a he that you are talking about? I am amazed as to how this can happen. Maybe the person wanted to tell you this so that you can pay up or something.

Sometimes , I have a torrid time collecting my own money from banks due to issues like irregular signature. My issued cheques sometimes also gives the holders stress for the same reason. How did she get hold of your signature, password or whatever?

Terrible name.

Like a home video title of a movie about prostitutes.

First thing they must do is dump publicist or manager or whoever suggested that name.

The name is a total turn-off.

Is there no solution to this issue?

@switched

Have you resolved the problem of the hilife and hikids?

I sent a mail to the customer care two days ago and havent gotten any reply.

The online chat at ehlnigeria.com does not have any customer care agent assigned there anymore. I tried a number of times but its always offline.

@Becomerrich

my goodness! How does all this talk about 419 and fake pastors fit into this topic? He asked for advice.

@poster
I cant say you have a problem. There are people in worse situations. You have some skills to even help you live a good life without a degree.

But since you think its an issue in your life, I would advise you to do some part time studying cause, the way you are taking it, you would always feel unfulfilled if you dont get that degree.

@Ebiz4real

When you said you have a site you want us to see, I was hoping to see a site. Not another forum script

Does it mean that if someone gets a forum like smf or vbulletin or chipmunk and just add the topics(without even changing any functionality), he/she becomes one of the top 100 developers?

Am curious. The gurus in the house please enlighten me

What if the clients corporate colours have green and some more green?

Besides, how can you say Nigerian web developers use Green?

You mean you have seen all Nigerian web developers and all their works that made you come to this conclusion?

The qusetion should be: Why do 'some' web developers make use of bad colour themes?

You have got to be more detailed in your post.

Why exactly do you think its trash?

What channels did you see or not see on it?

What was the picture quality?

Why would you want to just bring down the dish you just installed? Are the channels not showing at all?

If you dont give some of these details, we may understand this as another provider trying to run down the competition so do it right.

@urfriend

Those radio stations are stations we can just tune in to while driving . The only time I really get to listen to the radio is when in traffic and am not sure i would ever leave watch-watch to do hear-hear. How interesting is that? Maybe when you add VOA and Africa No 1 or Radio FR.

Secondly, what is the situation about the Hikids and Hilife? Is there no clue as to what is wrong? Its getting over two weeks now.

@urfriend

Apology accepted .

@OYIBN

Keep being objective and Neutral.

@switched

Keep being civil.

@Ilugunboy

Keep holding the place together.

@oligi

You have gone beyond the issue on ground. Pipe down

I Didnt read all the posts from the start so i dont know if its been posted before.

This:

Shake that thing! Move that thing! roll that thing.

This has become a recurring theme with a lot of the less talented naija musicians around.

If they neither have the ability to right meaningful lyrics, nor the talent to be even minutely creative, they always end up with the above .

@ comfort

You cant even get the name right.

I understand those who have divergent views and who are suspicous of the Church's intentions but the little i can deduce from your posts show that you are just a retard.

Your indecency runs so deep that you feel that because you are on a faceless forum, it gives you the licence to speak with such callousness and debauchery.

People like you are the specimen of what Nations and Fathers pray and hope their offspring dont become.

urfriend:
@ sology and switched,

Before you start complaining,first thing you should have done was to ask why?,and not jump to conclusions.

There are test being carried out on both channels and doesn't affect all subscribers.Are you using Strong decorder and what type?.when was the last time you noticed one or both channels were not showing?.

Honestly, I dont know what to respond to this your post.

Before we complain? Jump to conclusions?

What conclusions are we jumping to when there is an established fact that Some strong decoders are not recieving those channels for some strange reason?

@Ilugunboy, its strange indeed

It aint cool at all @ switched.

I am embarrased for them. I mean, all eyes are on them right now. Its not the time to mess up.

@Proudly9ja and Falciparum

Very sensible and responsible posts from you guys.

Its amazing , truly amazing how people can allow their hatred for a person or institution becloud their judgement.

For those who say that the identities of the five people should be publicised, are you guys serious?

In these times of kidnappings for Ransome money and robberies?

I am not a RCCG person ,(really dont like the idea that we all have to gather at a particular place for God to hear us) but Pastor Adeboye is one of those I admire.

I am not surprised at this outpouring of hatred and condemnation. If it was some other pastor somewhere, it wouldnt have made so much news and noise but because its someone who has set a standard and who has lived a life of simplicity for decades.Dont you ppl stop to think why he hasnt been using a jet all these while? Some other pastors have been using jets for years now.

Its simply because it has become a strong necessity.

There is usually a stronger condemnation and accusation against people who have set a standard be it in the public domain or the religous.

Its left for the discerning ones to determine what is the Truth (with an open mind).

@urfriend

What has happened to Hikids and Hilife?

They have both been displaying 'no access' for the past three days now.

A lot of the advertised April line up are on Hi life and the 7 movies for kids too are on hikids.

This situation of you guys adding one channel and another one disappears has to stop.

When I got hitv, there was MTVbase, Fox sports , cnn(though we know the issue with cnn) but the other two, you have never explained why it went off from your offerings.

Also, Aljazeera was also advertised as part of your packages then.

Am bringing them up cause i dont undestand how you can advertise new programs for a channel and its at that time that that channel goes bad.

If its not embarrasing to you, it is to me who is watching it.

Yeah, I think sometimes the matches come with some little itches but i must say that a lot has improved.

But the E situation you mentioned. Its the same thing that i have seen at a friends DSTV E entertainment that I see on HITV E

If they could afford the ticket for the movie or even transportation to that place, couldnt they afford popcorn as well?

I think it was just an excuse to get to meet/know you. Am not encouraging girls begging around but maybe you are not telling us exactly how it happened.

I cant imagine a girl walking up to me at the Galleria or Shopright and outrightly asking me to buy something for her without my saying hi or acknowledging her presence in some way.

I just dont believe they would walk up and ask you to buy something.

Maybe you started a conversation or gave an inviting look or something.

_{and why is this topic in the romance section?}

ilugunboy:
The B.E.T channel sounds good!!. Seems Hitv is getting serious to fight when the rofo-rofo fight starts.

@ilugunboy


BET would sure be a great addition entertainment wise.

But am not sure Huey Freeman of the Boondock would agree with that

There was a time starcomms was awesome. Pay for reactivation and before i got home in like an hour, I would be reactivated.

I got Visafone early last year(the month they started) .But five months down the line, visafone became terribly unreliable. It was so slow that it could compare to the multilinks dial-up(which i also used).

Repeated calls to visafone customer care got the "we are upgrading" response. But the upgrading went on for over a month and my work was suffering.

So I moved to starcomms and got the USB. It was amazingly fast and there were so many other advantages over visafone. The activation was instant and even comparatively cheaper in susbcription fees.

But for the past 3-4 months, starcomms has changed for the worse. Reactivation takes at least 24 hrs. Constant break in connections and all other irritating issues.

The Irony of the matter is that Visafone has improved tremendously and like we had people dumping visafone to pick starcomms mid last year, its now the other way round.

Like someone said, Starcomms has bitten off more than they can chew.

I have now downgraded to business time ie 9am- 9pm and I have dusted up my Visafone modem and signed up for the 9pm-9am.

No point in paying for 24 hrs on one network that can mess me up at anytime.

At least , if Starcomms doesnt perform in the "business time", i can try visafone at "Night surfer".

All to get some work done.

The April Line up looks good.

I would like to know the time-slot for the Family Court. Wouldnt want to miss any episode.

The Hi-mag doesnt come in early anymore. By the time i get it, its two to three weeks into that month. You need to sort that out.

And for those whose kids and nieces are clamouring for Animax, pls some sort of parantal control and guidance is needed.

Animax,(especially from early evening upwards) has a totally adult theme. Most of the films and series at those times are not suitable for kids.
