I paid someone to take my decoder and smartcard to hitv office today and my subscription was finally 'ACTIVATED'.There was no problem with my system.Someone at hitv just neglected to do his job.

And to think that you spent extra money for something not your fault is particularly annoying.

This is how the worst singer in the house will get to the finals and win this.

I suspect that the judges will not put her on probation 2moro and that would mean someone better than her leaving again

i paid my hitv subscrition on tuesday and i was activated on tuesday night,anyway thats not d issue.the issue is after over a year of operation,the picture quality on Hi-nolly,biscon,dove vision,hi-life,hi-mix are still bad.hitv is kind of boring except on weekends when they show premier league matches.the same films are being recycled on hi-nolly and hi-mix.the same set of films i watched 6 months ago i still see them showing it.SET does not show recent films and series, most of what they show are series and movies done in the 1990's.we appreciate ur effort here "URFRIEND" but hitv needs to step up big time.and can u please explain to me how HI-NOLLY got nominated for hotbird awards.i can vote for nigezie but definitely not HI-NOLLY.the channel is pure rubbish

And I don't know why they are spending money advertising on local stations for people to vote for those channels(Hi Nolly= Rubbish, Nigezie=Average).

If the channels are good and merit the awards, hitv subscribers would vote for them and make them win.

What we have now is some machinations going on to make undeserving channels win awards.

@urfriend, Hitv doesnt deserve you. Am being honest. Wish all the work you are doing is for some other better upwardly mobile company.

_{If hitv changes today and becomes more responsive to subscribers, i will do a volte-face.}

ekonibaje,

If you are posting a personal activation request for your own subscription, thats ok but not conducting your business through here. There are other issues and discussions for the thread like the starter of the thread mentioned.

Its better you open another thread(its easy) for activations and use that place well.

Am sure other subdealers will join you there as well and people like urfriend and other hitv staff here will not ignore it.

finally, you guys have spoken out.

I started thinking I was the only one not feeling ekonibaje/adewoyin's barrage of requests.

Its ok to send a personal activation request for your own subscription but not a continuous barrage of activation requests.

Its your business(where you make your money) so deal with it.

You are taking advantage of the situation that urfiend finds himself in(hitv's disappointments), to use him till he drops cause he wants to clean up the image.

He must have activated close to 50 subscriptions for you in about 2wks now.

Enough already.

lol lol.

This is sooo funny

_{and soooo true}

Dis Guy:
total waste of time then, lost faith in naija tv!!
whats the point of putting it in the tv listings

AIT is just rubbish, and springbank even more!!

The first time i watched it was on a sunday at the same time slot that The Dragon's den had.

I checked back the same time on sunday and AIT was showing something else. Whats wrong with those people?

And I think that Springbank advert has got to be the worst and most uncreative bank advert i have seen.

Dont they see the other bank adverts?

@maskuraid

U are right. Its either the landlord kicks one out or they will raise the rent times two(since we get money find big sattelite ).

I am still waiting for answers from mysterlawk. My earlier contact for dstv card says its now double the initial price and that its now more difficult to get. I think there has been a marked increase in people who are looking for it.

@badaru

Thanks. But the issue is space since some of us are tenants. It would have been the best.

ekonibaje:
urfriend kindly appreciate ur assistance--please kindly help me out--mrs folashade ogunshola--sc o1710158627-3--decm0000816004239 4 activation---3-11-08--and mr adedeji ishola sc--01710157661-3--dec m000815902145-03-11-08-ikd-please kindly help me out--thks

It seems its ekonibaje/adewoyin that is enjoying hitv and this forum

Setanta Africa will come by january and discovery by march of next year.

You guys just note that i said it first

Apart from discovery,these are average channels and its such a big deal to add.

What hope does hitv have of getting really rich channels/content after this?

Sopriye had to leave.

Did the organisers truly traverse the whole of west africa for these finalists?

I can sing better than a number of them(Though I only sing in my bathroom).

For Dorcas, she is just poor. She is neither a good singer nor does she have the look of a star.

Idol west africa was miles ahead of this.

I guess I was initially just impressed with the highlights of the house and not the singing.

whimsical:
@urfriend

NA WA OOOOO. SO AFTER ALL THE HYPE HITV STILL NO FIT PROVE THEIR SUBSCRIBERS WRONG AS REGARDS THE CHANNEL THING. Abeg make una remove that coming soon wey dey una site. We don see say na marketing strategy.

And ur friend please don't come here to defend ur hitv as you all have failed(Except for your ability to help us with subscription problem and that we appreciate). Even the Amuludun station na failure.

Urfriend "correct person", Hitv"Failure tv".

PLEASE DSTV SHOULD MAKE THEIR SMART CARDS AVAILABLE. liveth4real@yahoo.com

O boy, before we started clamouring for dstv smartcards, they were readily available even in Nairaland people were advertising it.

But now, its like looking for gold. Even the guy that promised me the card at 6k cant provide it at that price anymore but said it has doubled in price(yet its not certain if he can get it ).

I would think that its good business sense for DSTV to make their cards available so I will join you in calling for it.

Meanwhile, I was watching a sports programe on local AIT by Aisha Falode and she was advertising Live German league and French League matches on Daarsat's AIT SPORTS.

Has anyone here started watching daarsat?

isob:
Thanks, i'm honestly not sure which it is. It would be nice to hear about other people's experiences.

You will hear/read an eyeful from this thread : https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-106379.0.html

maskuraid:
@soloqy,

any special modalities for gettin d package, let me have ur maill addy if we need confidential discussion on d issue.
thnkx

@Maskuraid

He says its 5k per month sub. Expected to be paid on 4th of every month.

The whole thing is not clear to me yet. I dont know yet if their is any special modalities but I feel it should be legal if not I wouldnt be interested cause that means it may go at any time.

I am sending him a mail for further clarifications. I think with the channels he listed, its more channels than exists in the compact package.

crudedude:
@tayo
Dorcas aint got much talent fella.can't help but wonder how a person like her came to arrive at the academy.am not hatin,its just the truth,

True Talk

@isob

I think they are just inefficient and incompetent.

I dont think they are purposely out to Con Nigerians.

maskuraid:
@ilugunboy,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheers
The package involves All Supersport channels, ESPN classic, All Nigerian Channels TV5 Monde, Event Channel, MNETW, Mnet Movies 1&2,Action, TBN, Al Jazeera Int, RAI, Inspiration TV etc. If u are interested please kindly reply.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know what is included in the "etc" .

I was particular about Zone Reality but he said it used to be in the package but was removed. Also there is no Natgeo.

I want to verify what the etc includes

urfriend

You are very funny.

You said the exact things two weeks ago and one month ago.

I pointed it out here that none of those channels will come this month(when you were saying it would come within days).

Hitv is a huge disappointment.

And to think all this wahala is just for two very average channels and one good one.

It just makes one think twice about imagining hitv can get to the standard of DSTV

You can add *Confused TV* to that list.

@urfriend

Enough already!

GTV and DSTV are they not in the same paytv?

What do you mean by we want it now now?

Hitv is incompetent. And I believe they have incompetent technicians also.

Please stop embarrassing Nigerians with these your excuses. Its better you don't post anything than post all this annoying excuses.

@urfriend

Thats not the issue.

The issue is that you guys at hitv are not ready to do paytv.

At the hitv thread, I told ilugunboy and the rest not to expect any new channels this month even after you kept saying they will be added today , tomorrow ect.

Hitv is a total disappointment.

Dont even go on with the soon and 90% and all the other bull****.

Hitv is a disappointment.

You dont have anything apart from football. Total mess. It takes you months to add channels that all other competitors and even partners add in a twinkling of an eye.

Just go tell your management that they are a mess.

Dclique:
I say you go for DSTV,cause they now show EPL matches.Last week dstv showed chelsea vs liverpool,while HITV didnt.Can anyone explain that?

Since last season, Hitv got the licence to show 80% of the EPL while DSTV has 20%.

This means that Hitv shows about 8 matches per week while DSTV shows 2 matches.

The Chelsea vs Liverpool match fell into the 20 percent share of DSTV.

Of course the day that Manu played Chelsea at the Bridge, DSTV did not show it but hitv did.

Apart from the 20 % allotted to them, DSTV can not show any more.

Same with hitv. Apart from the 80 % allotted to them, they cant show any more.

If you read through all the threads here about hitv, am sure you will be able to make up your mind.

Anyways, if you really don't have the time to look through, here goes:

If you like only football as in soccer from Spanish Laliga and English Premiership then get hitv. But be ready for some stressful times in subscription.

Forget about their italian league cause hitv never shows the matches that matter.

But if you care for quality entertainment and better channels, then its DSTV. Plus peace of mind with payments and activations.

Hitv can cut you off anytime even when you are not owing. When you even decide to pay your subscription, you are put through such pain that you just get fed up watching tv.
We havent seen the Daarsat channels and offerings showing anywhere so no one can recommend it.
So there you go.

How did Dorcas survive this?

@Mysterlawk

Aproffie:
@ urfriend or any online hitv subscribers

My subscription ran out last week sunday, a friend will be assisting to pay @ E3 2mrw after the sanitation exercise, I want to know if it is necessary for my smart card to be presented @ hitv office 2mrw during the payment.

Any useful advice along with this is appreciated.

My dear Aproffie

Its better you carry your smart card there if you are going to pay at their office.

If it was possible to carry the decoder as well self **

Its a nasty experience

It always seems as if you are typing while running.

Na headache to try to decipher wetin you post most of the time

Now I no know if you dey commend hitv or if you dey warn them . Which one is it?

They should just take a break from BBA for like three years.

Get their acts together and comeback with an entertaining(not necessarily vulgar) show.

_{not that i have been watching this one though since its dstv}
