Happy New year everyone.

Ilugunboy, Maskuraid, urfriend, donaremu, dclique, everyone.

Its been hectic on my side so havent been logging in.

First of all , Ekonibaje, I used to say this and you thought i was just targeting you. If you want us to reason with you and empathise and even offer solutions, You have just got to make sense. There is something like punctuations and fullstops and commas in written english. You may not blame the ladies at customer care for laughing if the way you talk, remotely resembles the way you type. They may have not been able to keep themselves from laughing out.

Like I told you some time ago, dont be in a hurry to post. Type it, read it through then post. I suspect you post from a cafe but please dont bother about your time running out.Your aim must always be to get the message across.
I hope we can get better participation from you henceforth.

@Urfriend, please when excatly are they going to sort the kidsco and setanta issue?

@All, DSTV must be picking their teeth and smiling right now in the face of the GTV crises(and to think we were all hailing GTV). I must say that am very disappointed. Does it mean they didnt have any back up plan or even little running funds apart from the investment they got from outside?

Imagine the broken dreams, dashed expectations that all the subscribers, staff and people living in the countries where GTV is operating, must be feeling now.

DSTV will simply say, 'We told you so'.

I dare say that the stronghold DSTV had in those countries, prior to the coming of GTV, would now double cause the subscribers there would be skeptical of any new thing coming there.

On the other hand, Can't HITV,(after all nothing is impossible) or any Nigerian concerns, move in to take over GTV? .Come to think of it, 200 million dollars is not too much money for say, Five Nigerian billionaires to put together.

What do you guys think?

And please, OBJ was a lot better than this painfully slow motion that we are in today.

Things were moving. Criminals and corrupt officials were being arrested and charged to court.

There were reforms everywhere and hope in the horizon.

But what do we have now? Clueless govt. that has a mr. Idoncare as Attorney General of federation and who, in concert with the Iboris of this world, have put in place, a waizitme as EFCC chairperson. It can't get any worse than this.

_{phew I had to let that out}

@carmelily

I am glad that we have rational thinking people like you (and a few others) here.

You asked very cogent questions.

Some of these people claim that Ribadu was fighting only those that were against OBJ or those that spoke against the former president.

Please help me and ask them why Gani, Pat Utomi, Ken Nnamani, Buhari(as you already mentioned) and many others that constantly taunted OBJ, were not arrested and charged with corruption by Ribadu.

People in Nigeria are so gullible and most often than not, refuse to think things through.

You lot should endeavour to think things through at all times and thus, get the real picture.

I don't touch these newspapers, Daily Independent and Sun Newspaper .

This two papers are owned by two proven criminals and corrupt former governors.

What do you expect to read from these two? Have you ever read anything(surely, there ought to be at least one) good thing about OBJ or Ribadu from these two papers?

I would advice you guys to please read more credible news sources like Thisday and Guardian and Businessday. These ones have no affiliations with any money bag or corrupt former official.

Ribadu's present problems are largely orchestrated by Ibori. Tell me what has happened to all the cases that were established by Ribadu.

Since the new person got there, we started hearing of missing case files. Everything was drawn to a halt. Its a big shame on her.

Having said all this, I wont be surprised if there are yahoo yahoo people contributing to this thread.

Of course we know that this set of people also have an axe to grind with Ribadu. :-)

@shamass77

Can you give me two or three places where the decoders are available in Lagos? I said I havent seen it being sold or advertised anywhere because its true.

If you can give me the info i asked for now, i can go look at it myself. I believe your resellers and dealers should be able to have it running at their offices for demonstration purposes so that one doesnt have to pay for what he is not sure about.
If I go to any of your dealers , I should be able to preview your offerings there while making enquiries.

Its not about making statements, let me have three of your dealers in Lagos so I can make up my mind which is nearest to my area.

Surely you should be able to have up to three dealers in EKO abi?

what are the issues?

papanono

added to the premiership,setanta africa, Discovery world,kidsko, etc that hitv has, GTV has BET, MTVBASE, ALJAZEERA, FOX SPORTS, KISS, AMC.

Just go to their website and look at programme schedule of G series and G prime also note that they have movies that are post millenium. :-)

@papanono

I dont believe you.

At any point in time, we can tell what GTV are showing due to their EPG(which is working).

You cant compare their series(new ones), movies and sitcoms to hitv's , sorry.

You should get it if you are in Ghana and stop stressing yourself with getting hitv there.

@firsty

Do you work at Daarsat?

How can you say that something that isnt available or seen anywhere is the best?

With what yardstick are you judging?

I have not seen any installer anywhere in Nigeria or Africa that advertises Daarsat installation and decoders.

When we eventually have people who have subscribed, then we will judge

Got My hitv Guide/Magazine yesterday.

It was a pleasant surprise and my neighbours were looking at me like some kind of important person.

I think they should be able to allow subscribers pay for individual channels(they are advanced and big enough to accommodate that).

I mean, I should be able to choose for instance, to watch Natgeo, discovery, ss3, cnn, mnet movies2, and history channels pere. They should then charge me for the individual channels.

I understand those are the pick of the pack of their offerings but even charging N200 for each of them would be sensible. This is still a higher per channel cost when considering the whole bouquet.

This would also mean that I get to pay N1,400 per month for my chosen channels.

This would bring more customers as well as satisfy those who want to watch a few channels and not be bombarded with a bouquet that they wont even get to watch all that is in it.

The Customer is king so we TV lovers always look for something good.

@Jascobee
Like ilugunboy said. Wetin concern hitv with this one?

Wow, somehow, I have not been receiving alerts to new posts here.

@ekonibaje

The problem is that we are hardly able to make head or tail of your posts.

urfriend has not called me nor "bribed" me with sweet words as you claim.
He has said a couple of times here that he doesnt touch your activation requests. That should let you know that there is no point in your posting them.
We all know that Hitv had issues with activation but It seems to have been sorted out.

I paid and got activated the same day in about an hour.

@ilugunboy

The first time am reading you lose your temper.

@Eby

Welcome back.
We were all disappointed and frustrated at hitv. At least you now have discovery to watch abi?

@urfriend

Whimsical's suggestion is good. I think you should tell them that we want the management to make available, the magazine in soft copy(pdf) for download from the website.

Also note that hitv hasnt delivered on all the promises as you claim. The very first promos and fliers I got from hitv had Mtvbase, fox sports, loveworld, aljazeera,etc. Some of which showed for a while and went awol while aljazeera never showed.
Please, let them work more with Fox Group. There is so much content that hitv could get from them. Fox life, fox crime, Fox movies or even any of the Sky movies channels.

@jaymoses
thanks 4 realising what some of us have seen and heard for a while now

I was waiting to see if they would dare to not mention Annette when they were three remaining.

I would have gone to the organisers and dealt thoroughly with them.

Na God save them

@urfriend

I sent you a mail to your mailbox. Thats my email.

jeffoski

Stop it!

He has the right to have someone else as favourite. It doesnt warrant you insulting him.

Do all you can to make your contestant win but dont insult others for having someone else as favourite

@Ilugunboy

Well done o. So how una dey manage? Can you guys watch two different channels at the same time or did you get any other card?

With the LCD, I can imagine your experience now.

@Maskuraid

Abi? If dem do well we go praise them but there is still more work to be done as per channels. I understand what you mean. I havent changed from Discovery since it came on.

@ekonibaje

I hear you. I paid yesterday and was activated yesterday too.

I called their office after payment and I was shocked out of my socks when someone actually picked at the first ring.

The guy told me that i would be activated automatically and that i didnt have to call.

True enough, I put on my TV that evening and it was up.

Wow

_{Ok now, lets get back to the business of adding more channels, dear Hitv}

Dclique:
August 2009!!!
Any how, If i were you i will give up on that HI-MIX of a channel.
They will never show good programs,
please, what is so hard you use #300 to buy those 18-in-one DVD'S and AIR them >
so people could sit at home and enjoy what they subcribed for,
Instead,we watch 1985-2001 movies n programs
Haba!!! , Later they will say HITV CORRECT TV

Haba Dclique, they cant do that. It would be piracy of the highest order.

People Like Ben Bruce would lead the team of prosecutors that will ensure Hitv goes down if they try that.

Having said that, I hope Hitv wont think they have 'arrived' because Discovery and Setanta were finally added after months.

They should always keep up with the competition. GTV should be a case sturdy for them.

Since Hitv already has a working Relationship with Fox, I dont see what stops them from going for their other Entertainment Channels like Fox life, fox movies, etc.

It seems Fox group is a more flexible corporation to work with since almost everyone have a couple of their channels. Daarsat has up to five, Trend has , Dstv has foxlife GTV, has a couple.

Starcomms Evdo has been terrible in the past two weeks.

Anybody know whats going on?

Its really horrible. I may have to go back to visafone evdo(which I put aside for the Starcomms when it was acting up).

I tell you,all these guys just use us the way they like. They come out with their products and the first few weeks/months, it would be great. But because of their greed, they will go ahead to overload their system capacity and the whole thing will come crashing down.

This is unbelievable

RobertsAyo:
Dear all, I have EVDO of Multilinks in stock. I can give you one with 1 month subscription free for 30k. The cost of the EVDO is now 15,000 in Multilinks office and 21,000 for One month activation(you save 6,000). This EVDO works like a broadband. faster than an average cybercafe. If you are interested, kindly call me on 07090123224. (Money Back guarantee)

Dude, the average cybercafe here is shit so thats not a good pitch by you.

Just watched last sunday's show again.

I am so mad at that Clueless crowd for pretending to be enjoying Nii's performance.

I will say it again. The organisers must go back to the probation process.

If it continues with voting from people, this show will throw up either one of Nii or Bisola as winner and thats frightening.

I have decided to vote for the good ones at least three times each. And they are Annette, Inyanyan and Praise.

If we don't vote but keep complaining, the hired crowds will get their own contestants to win.

I just wish they didnt do this viewer voting nonsense . Kodjo would have still been in the house.

@jeffoski

You and annette sha :-)

But really the organisers shouldnt be looking at ways of making money here thereby jeopardising the outcome of the show as per the eventual winner.

They should have put some people on probation. If they allow voters choose, the eventual winner wont be the best of the lot.

Nii and Bisola at least should have been put on probation

I agree that Inyanya and Annette are the top two in singing right now(Since Kodjo has been evicted). Even Praise sings better than Nii and Bisola but he is not a stage performer

But Nii works the crowd while Bisola seems to already have a large group of people outside voting for her whenever the time comes.

If its left to the voters alone, we might see Bisola and Nii taking the Top two spots.

I think they should slow down on the very high pitched songs that they always give annette to sing.

[quote author=Modups! link=topic=180538.msg3102739#msg3102739 date=1227006634]if all goes well, i see the 4 finalists being:

annette
kojo
iyanya/praise
bisola

(sorry onyemechi & nii fans)[/quote]I agree with you on most of it but I dont think bisola is there. Maybe the fans will take her there but I believe annette, Kojo, Iyanya, Praise. In that order.

squad1

Amuludun is blank on everyone's system.

Discovery is Blank on everyone's system.

There is no Setanta

I think that your dealer knows what he is talking about concerning that activation in 5 days.

Some things they do at Hitv just defies common sense.

And I think nii's voice is too low.

He is loved by the crowd but i dont think he is as good as iyannyan, annete or kodjo

The contestants have upped their game.

I read someone say earlier in the thread saying the Faculty is not good enough but we can see the impact of Ben and Gojo in the whole thing especially Ben.

Ben totally led Bisola and Onyemaechi into their songs.

If you guys want to make a difference then you got to vote.

I suspect that Dorcas' people know her limitations so are doing their bit in the voting.

People are going to believe Kojo and Nyanyan will get votes and then they wont vote.

This will change the whole scenario and we may see dorcas staying some more days.

yes 1 or two is okay as I agree with that.

The originator of this thread has complained a number of times here.

If you call it castigating, then thats your opinion.

Its the truth of the matter that i mentioned.

We dont have info from urfriend or people who know it at hitv. All we see are incessant activation requests from the same person. Not one or two but numerous and numerous.

I want to receive a mail alert and come with expectation to hear something new about Hitv and not to always read ekonibaje's numerous activation requests.

_{We are frustrated enough as it is with hitv and not to add another dimension to it.}

@bami

The problem now would be that ekonibaje will start posting two activation requests every hour now.

So that wouldnt have solved the issue of the spamming.

He should just open a business section of hitv and start the solicitations and activations there.

Its ok for individuals to request activation for their personal subscriptions or two at the most but ekonibaje has taken over this forum.

@ekonibaje

You know, it would have been a little more bearable if you took your time to type something meaningful and not something that gives one a migraine by mere looking at it.

Dang, do you type and post your messages while on the run?

Guys you need to vote to keep Caroline in the house. She is talented. Song writer and instrumentalist.

The Faculty will save Kojo and Yayan .

It will be left between Bisola and Dorcas and the housemates will save Bisola .

Thats the way I see it.

I think am missing something. What did Kodjo and Bisola do?
