@gboyesh

urfriend said its for those with Hitv branded decoders meaning that those with Strong decoders dont have the problem.

Read from a number of pages back and you will get the message.

Also someone listed how to get the subtitle with Strong decoder.

But you need to read some pages back of this thread

How can you say he is good at it?

If he was good at it, people would not be pointing it out here abi?

Besides, its not a female but a male. I guess using a female's identity appeals more to him.

what website?

Fadajasi:
I learnt today that when u bend the smart card in your dstv decorder,the dstv written side facing up,and bend it in u-spape,the use a magnet to strach the part that is like sim card gently like 4 times,u get another 7days subscription after it has expired,want to know if its true

no go damage your smart card o

maskuraid and linksman,

I totally agree with you guys.

I hope they can make us do a volte-face and eat our words .

I sincerely do.

If its on the current visafone EVDO or broadband service that they are hoping to offer that package, then am sorry for them.

I got visafone broadband EVDO the next day after they launched in February.

I am now using starcomms EVDO.

I dumped the visafone because it was just a glorified dial up.

When the service gets to work in some areas, you realise that in some other areas, it would be terrible.

Did Daar make their research properly before going into that arrangement?

They should go ahead and tell us the day the test trasmission is starting and on what frequencies.

40 channels can include all those asian channels that are basically free to air so untill we have a glimpse of their offerings, they know where to go and sit.


_{yes am so pissed at them cause its about three months now that they have been talking about coming out and each time, they postpone it}

urfriend,

Please i hope they will sort this breaking pictures issue before the European leagues restart next week?

Its not encouraging to watch football with the cracks and glitz on the pictures. Its like watching a movie or football on a scratched, pirated CD.

yes, maskuraid but its because of his help to people and constant info and assurances that this thread has become very useful.

Whether good news or not so good news, we need to hear from insiders , a little info on what is happening.

I find it strange that urfriend has so far stayed away from the thread for a while.

Is the bobo tired of defending hitv now?

maskuraid:
@soloquy


[b]must b a technical glitch or a result of some atmospheric/solar flarin(did i say dt][/b]neways sha i hope thingsget sorted out,

@ilugunboy

If thats the case, wouldnt it make better sense to balance it?

Move some of those channels from the first transponder to the second one that still has space for channels.

There is no point watching a football match like the one we watched on saturday.

The football is hitv's selling point so if people dont get to enjoy the football, why would they keep subscribing?

And there is no way we can endure such pictures and disruptions until 2009.

Besides, no new channel has been added and the snag and hitches just started on that saturday(It was okay all the while till that day).

There may be something else wrong. If like you asked urfriend, the Epg could be causing problems, its better they go back to the status quo till they are fully ready to implement it.

They just cant afford to play with the football. It would be disastrous.

maskuraid:
@ilugunboy, sup man.u shld knw you're never alone my guy, we alws dey your side, watchin and waitin 2 c if any 'beta' don drop.hw far wit madam?u don appease am , lol BW seems 2 have disappeared{not dt i miss d channel sha} [b]and dove(d quality of d pix on that is terrible ) seems 2 have found a nu home on h'sports 2.anyhw sha we still dey [/b]manage,

I dont know if you guys have noticed that the only stable channels now are the ones that were added just over a month ago. The channels on Eutelsat w4 12300(zee cinema, CNBC, Fox news and Sony Entertainment).

The other channels, plus all the Hi channels, have this irritating snag on the pictures that happen too frequently for one to actually enjoy watching them.

This started during the Arsenal match on Saturday and got worse later that day. I thought the whole thing was pulled down to sort that issue out but it seems it wasnt.

One cant enjoy football with such a feed. In fact you cant enjoy anything with such.

Is the transponder they are using for the hi channels and those earlier channels bad?
There is a marked difference between the quality of the hi channels pictures and the ones that I mentioned above.

kmartins

You are such a spammer.

I used to get LTV on hitv when we were on Terrestrial.

Since the cut-over to Satellite, i have not seen it.

Mustay:

D'you know anything about Gtv's ENCYCLOPEDIA station?


hiTv should have some 'partnership' with those guys na

abi o? since they share transponder. Anyways, I guess the content providers sell their content based on the subscriber base of a company and territorial restrictions so they will have a valid excuse for not pursuing such an arrangement.

My only issue with Hitv is that they seem to lag behind GTV in things. GTV added EPG since, probably on inception. They have setanta sports and kidsco already apart from their other channels. Also Fox sports and Aljazeera, which are channels that we were made to understand are part of hitv offerings, are no where to be seen.

@digitalp, if they are not scrambled, you would be able to watch them wouldnt you?

That you dont see or hear anything means they are not open for free viewing.

If you search on some other frequencies on Eutelsat 4, you will be able to download all dstv channels and radio stations but you wont be able to watch them untill you insert a dstv smartcard.

I suspect that the ten channels the poster was talking about are those ones that dstv briefly added on FTA(free to air) to tempt and lure some of us.

hi ilugunboy, whats up?

@babatony, dstv was running some kind of promo at which you pay for the equipment and get about two or three months free.

Like ilugunboy said, if you love football(which is why you see some of us here), then hitv would be your choice but if you love general entertainment, and get bored easily(like moi), then dstv is your best bet.

However, Sony entertainment has some good stuff . It has movies at 8pm each day and a number of drama series and sitcoms.I also believe Sony Entertainment is a relatively new channel and so still evolving.

Forget about Biscon .Its a mess. The picture quality is not something you should subject your self to.

Hi mix, has some sitcoms and series as well but be ready to watch an episode so many times that you begin to see it in your sleep.

urfriend told us they would be adding new channels per week but I am not sure what the plan is now.

Dstv is still expensive(if you want to watch the premium package).

We just hope that they, at hitv, will fulfil their promises of adding Setanta sports, Discovery civilisation(or is it education), BET, Kidsco, animax and one movie channel.

We are still watching and waiting .

I would have thought that this would be accompanied by something like this:

We are sorry for the two days that our subscribers experienced scrambled channels, this was due to the fact that we were "uploading new channels".

Or something like this: "To make up for the days that our subscribers didnt get to watch their beloved football, we would be adding 2weeks each free to their access days."

This is not typographical error any more.

This is plain laziness.

You just refused to task your brain to properly construct your words.

@urfriend

Why would they just randomly deactivate people.

I was deactivated yesterday and am lucky I got someone at their office who apologised for deactivating me wrongly.

Whats the big deal in verifying payments from GTBank?

Also I must say that the pictures in the Hi channels have been degrading since last week. Its getting worse by the day.

I am subscribing to Pay tv but I had to watch the Arsenal match on NTA/AIT due to the terrible picture feed.It kept dragging as if it was in slow motion.

Are the management not seeing those pictures?

The other foreign channels are perfect but the Hi channels' pictures are an eye sour.
I will still send this post on the other thread as well since I want you and the Hitv management to know we aint happy about that.
You cant enjoy football like that.

@IncaGold and blacklion

Great posts.

Its not as easy as they make it appear. Like you guys pointed out, there are people cut out for business and those who are not.

And believe me, if you are cut out for business, you would know it at some point. You dont need any one to tell you.

On the other hand, if you just go and jump into business based on what people say, thats a recipe for disaster.

Whats with this no access thing again?

Is any other person seeing "No Access" on his or her screen?

urfriend, do you have any idea whats going on?

Finecat:
You should be ashamed of yourself. You've been waiting for intercontinental since last year. You passed all the stages and yet no job, doesn't that tell you something? No banker is man enough to snatch the kind of women i deal with. I hate banks because the are crooked and they owe me lots of money. KeeIp waiting for your day at the slave field. Yeye boy. MY HEART BLEEDS FOR NAIJA, WHEN OUR ABLE BODIED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN SIT AT HOME WAITING FOR A BANK JOB FOR A YEAR. IT IS REALLY PATHETIC !!

@Finecat

I fear for this your heart o.

Its always bleeding for naija.

But I read some of your posts and though I think the alarm on them going down so is a little exaggerated, I must agree with you on some issues concerning IBPLC.

A female friend just finished the training and they were all posted into marketing. I mean all, according to her whether male or female.

The sad part is that some of the people at that training were already offered better pay at some other banks but IBPLC lured them with juicier offers just to come at the 2nd week before they were taken to tell em that the intro level pay would now be much less than they earlier promised.

Thats deceit of the highest order and we ought to speak out at what is bad.

I bank with IBPLC and they are usually the first to start a lot of stupid deductions from your account.

I was never charged for using ATM with my GTB account(even if I was charged, it would have been so insignificant for me not to notice it).

But IBPLC started charging me 50 naira for withdrawing from their own ATM with my IBPLC atm card. Thats unbelievable.

1000 naira for every 1 million naira cash deposit(They call it cash handling fee).

So many things that they have their charges either inflated or inserted without you being aware of their existence before hand.

So I wonder, if they are so sound financially, why do they find ways to take money from people like this?

I am happy when banks employ to fill in places at the new branches cause thats a lot of people out of the job market but they ought to be sincere in their dealings with the job seekers and the staff.

senga:
Hi soloqy

Just sitting back and waiting to see what DAAR are up too, I cannot find any information on them. As you said they should be running test transmissions this month FTA but I can't find anyone that has seen anything. I have heard that people are falling over new equipment in their offices, maybe they haven't installed it all yet.

lol, thats funny.

Someone should tell em that all the new equipment would only make sense when they are up and running.

They can now see that its easy to talk the talk but walking it is a different ball game.

ilugunboy:
Now they've succeded in their I[b]NTENTION[/b], using those channels as bait to lure people. My wife is now insisting that i must get Dstv before the end of August.

lol, It was a well executed plot.

I saw it for what it was from the beginning.

I mean, DSTV give you NatGeo and Zone reality for free?

I told a friend thats what they were trying to do, give those of us(FTA users and hitv viewers who always search for new channels) a peep into their offering.

ilugunboy, I guess you need to satisfy your wife. Some of us don't have that privilege yet

And where is Senga who has been talking about Daarsat ?

Let us know what their story is now. I thought they would have done a test transmission(free) , before coming out in September as they claim they will

Hi all, it seems the freebie is over . .

Scrambled Scrambled.

You guys know what am talking about. Check those channels.

Chrisbenogor:
@Tampico Nne no vex oh men are visual shikena even ninety something percent of the porn industry is targeted at men and its not really fun because something at the back of the head tells you all she is a porn star. The thrill about the big brother shower hour is this, a guy walks past a girl that has a really hot body and his mind instantly wonders whats beneath those clothes again as you can see being visual so when the opportunity knocks men are there to watch not sex but the thrill of seeing whats beneath those clothes.
Just imagine what turns you on in a guy is his abs and you see a schwazneger looking guy in Biggie's house surley you would want to see whats under the shirt abi wetin you think?

bluesteps, who is clamouring to see "everything",going by the profile, is female and that makes it more baffling.

Since you say men are visual and thus need to always see naked women, so what is bluesteps?

I understand perfectly what Tampico is talking about.

There are more interesting things than just watching naked flesh.

You need to sometimes feed your mind and not always your flesh.

Watch and learn how different people from different countries and backgrounds behave/interact .

Though am not too keen on BB but if at any time, I am so bored and starved of programme to watch on tv, I would only watch BB for the reasons I mentioned above.

ikhideman:
But a point shld be made that entering into the banking industry is a choice, which is taken upon the acceptance of the terms & conditions laid down by the employer.

As someone earlier said, many bankers (especially in Lagos) are daily been hospitalised with various ailments. My friend who is a nurse at one private hospital in Lagos told me she has had to nurse about 5 bankers from different banks, at different times (young men in their mid-30s, i must add) for high blood pressure & fainting, which are all stress-related.

SO DON'T KILL YOURSELF BECAUSE THE WORK WILL CONTINUE EVEN AFTER YOU ARE GONE!!![i][/i]

@ikhideman

Your two posts on this issue are spot on.

I have a friend who just got a job at a bank and its 100 million thats her target.

Also on the stress part and ailments affecting young bankers, you are still on target.

Heard about a guy in his early thirties that died of hypertension (he used to work in that bank with red and white corporate colours).

@donaremu

my hitv signal quality is between 68% and 75%

so its good quality but that of the other company that just dropped in is between 26% and 30.

Is the polarization v or H?

Cant understand why mine is like this

@donaremu

Are the signals clear at your end?

The quality I get on those channels that just dropped in from dstv are between 28-30 percent max and so the picture jerks and breaks.

Is yours the same? Am using strong decoder.

Is there a way to improve the signal quality?

Want to enjoy the freebie while it lasts.
