N11,000. I stay in Abuja. 08038779220.

I just tried subscribing to the free package, and it went through.

Anyone there still wanna buy my SU-33W receiver?

Wilfem, how much it's the drifta?

All my channels have disappeared except for NTA and Channel O! Am I the only one?

ceejay80s:
a friend called yesterday and said samething

Ceejay, if it's related to dstv, what did he say?

I guess they still have issues with their billing. I've subscribed twice to the Maxi package, and wasn't charged a thing.

I'm still trying to sbscribe without success.

Ceejay, which access point did you use? I tried both MTN GPRS and MTN ACCESS.

Has anyone been able to purchase subscription? I've tried more than 10 times on both packages using MTN GPRS & MTN ACCESS apn.

Lucky you.

I just checked it now, and there are 11 channels, with 2 showing. BBA is missing.

List the channels you have. Have you subscribed today?

The Mini package [N170/week] contains 7 channels: NTA, Channel O!, BET, E! Mobile, CNN, Idols, Trace

The Maxi package [N400/weeks] contains the 7 above along with: , AMag, SS9, SS10, Blitz.

No more BBA! Gaddemit !!!

So DSTV means that because I wanna watch regular sport, they will more-than double the price? Na only SS-Blitz I dey enjoy sef. At least, I can get highlights of French Open from them!!

I tried subscribing to both, but got the Communicating with Server Error. I'll wait till 2moro, in case they do further modifications.

Well, I'm happy to see the last of AfricaMagic, MMWorld, HausaTv and YorubaTv.

The only channels I want are NTA, E!Mobile, CNN, Blitz [maybe Trace and BET]. I'd really like a foreign movie channel too!

On my N8, I can only see the MINI and MAXI packages.

I think they should include a monthly package for maybe 500 and 1300 respectively. They should also put a channel for foreign films.

I wonder why nokia is making this tv headset so scarce. There's big market for it in places like india, nonferrous, south africa, etc. Most developed countries don't care about dvb-h bcoz they have very reliable broadband internet for video and tv streaming.

I'm consider myself privileged for the opportunity to own this headset.

And it's all thanks to CEEJAY80S!!! The life force of this thread. You too much!!!

LOL. Them censor the amount?

Abeg I no wan know the price, before I begin dey vex. I dey quite tight now and nobody wan buy my su-33w receiver.

Pls mail the LiveTV app to me [spacyzuma@yahoo.com]. I had it before, but deleted it when it wouldn't work on my N8.

Ceejay, I wanna install the tv app on a 5800XM running software version21. Which app should I use? The MobileTV1.0, LiveTV, or MobileTV2.0?


Guys, I ask again. Is anyone watching DTSV on Globacom? I've never been able to subscribe through them, but MTN has always worked well.

Damma:
pls help me out,just bought a 5330 mobile tv edition nd used wiv mtn nd afta d necessary protocols,d channel list came but big brother was unopen(locked),pls ow do i open it.abeg!!!

You have to know your phone's security code to unlock it.

Just go to SETTINGS,. then PARENTAL CONTROLS. You'll see different ages. Just select NONE. If asked, enter your phone's security code. The default code is 12345, unless you've changed it

Yeah, DSTV is back on MTN. Just renewed my subscription on both my 5320Xm and N8.

Has anyone here ever used Globacom to enjoy DSTV. I've never been able to get my glo sim to subscribe. Do I have to change/rename the Access Point?

aieromon:
Same here.The Mobile TV tries to retrieve subscription then cuts off after downloading 25kb.This is after numerous attempts at restoring mobile tv sertings.

When did your own wahala start? Mine began on friday afternoon after i exchanged my glo and mtn sims. I watched dstv on mtn on my N8 smoothly on friday morning. Since then, I've not been able to subscribe again on both sims and phones.

spacyzuma:
I've not been able too watch mobile tv on my two nokia phones since friday, on both mtn and glo

I've switched both my MTN and GLO sims between the phones more than 5 times since Friday evening. Each time, I restore mobile tv settings and restore the factory settings of both phones.

But both of them just refuse to subscribe. Keep getting different error messages. I think DSTV is having issues. I wanna mail that Cecilia lady today.

I've not been able too watch mobile tv on my two nokia phones since friday, on both mtn and glo

I paid 15k for the SU-33W. Wanna sell it at 13k [with the complete pack, including charger]. It's negotiable, sha.

Is anybody watching DSTV using Globacom? I've been trying to subscribe on both the N8 and 5320XM since Friday to no avail.

Well, I got a new 128k MTN sim today, and I'm now rocking DTSV!! I enjoyed the piece on Jose Mourinho on SS9.

aieromon:
@spacyzuma
Sorry,porting N8 to TV via HDMI for the purpose of DSTV was unsuccessful.I only use it to watch films or play NFS Shift.

Damn it! That's why they removed the app from the Ovi Store sometime back.

BTW, I'm willing to hear offers for my SU-33W now. It would be preferable if you stay in Abuja. [spacyzuma@yahoo.com]

ceejay80s:
Aieromon & spacyzuma go need proper NTA TV INTERVIEW becos na dem break record as the people wey first watch dstv mobile on N8 in nigeria

Thanks for your support, Ceejay.

Ozegbe:
@aieromon and spacuzuma can u guys tell us the clarity level. because my brother dstv java phone was clearer than my n96. i just want to know if it very clear or blurr a little. @ceejay u are a trusted person in this site keep it up and start thinkin of how to supply more of this headset now that the ice is broken.

It's pretty clear. I'm about to go and buy a new MTN sim for viewing it. The next thing I'm gonna try is see if I can stream it to my tv via the N8's Tv-OUT or HDMI ports.

I am now watching DSTV on my N8!!! Alleluia!! All my hard work don produce result!!

Sorry for the late posting. Heavy abuja rain yesterday blew roof open and soaked my bed and many clothes. I spent the whole of last night cleaning up and got to work very late this morning.

About the N8, each time I try to subscribe using Glo, I keep getting an error message. So this morning after getting to the office, I put in my MTN simcard, but the N8 no gree recognize am, to my perplexity. So I borrowed a friend's MTN sim, subscribed to 10Mb, 1-day package, and tried subscribing again to DSTV. This time, it worked flawlessly. All the channels are showing.

Will upload some pics later.

the area wey i dey now no get 3G for mtn or glo. Later today, i'll try to subscribe again when i reach a place with good 3G coverage.

Well, I got to leave the office. The security men don dey vex for me. Will continue the experiments for house.

HAve a great weekend ya'll.

Well, the LiveTv app installs but doesn't work.

I just did a *#7370# format.

Then I tried the Mobile TV app, and GLORY BE TO GOD!!! It actually installed. For the 1st time ever ever EVER !!!!

It runs too. plugged in the headset and it began scanning for channels. It saw Glo's DSTV MOBILE NIGERIA package and all 15 channels, and I tried to purchase it, but it shows a "SUBSCRIPTION NOT ALLOWED. CONTACT SERVICE PROVIDER. -1252" error.

Will try again on my MTN SIM

I just did the 3-key Hard Reset, and surprise, my N8 did not brick [Thank God!!]

Even more surprising, the Live TV installed!! But it refuses to run, even with the tv headset plugged in.

I'll do a Format and now try the Mobile TV app.

Ceejay, I just did the *#7370# reset.

tried to install the LiveTV, shows UPDATE ERROR without installing. Tried the Mobile TV app too, same response.

Airemon, walahi, I just dey jealous you with your trouble-free N8. Pls what exact steps did you take to format/reset ur N8?

Well, No, I didn't.

I've just saved some online documents about formatting and hard-resetting the N8. I'm thinking of doing it in the next 30 mins.

Mehn, Ceejay. I don vex today eh.

Just came back to my office after 3 hours on the road. I went to SLOT where I bought the phone. Told the Nokia guys there about my problem. They tried to do the things I had already done before: Restore Application Settings; Try to download&install the Mobile TV app from Ovi Store via PC and via the N8. They told me to go to Nokia Care in Wuse2 where they have machines that will handle it.

I went there and the obnoxious receptionist was busy wasting my time that it is IMPOSSIBLE to watch TV on the N8. See me see wahala o! Wetin she know about smartphones except the dregs wey she dey receive from the real engineers. Even after I showed her on the Nokia Support Discussions where people have said they are enjoying it, the stupid woman no gree hear.

After I waited for an engineer to show himself, i told him my problem. He told me that the phone will have to be shipped to Lagos, taking at least 1 week before it gets back. It was while I was talking with him that I saw your mail with the LiveTv app. I downloaded it in his presence, and tried to install, stil lshowed the same gaddem UPDATE ERROR.

I've decided I'll try the 3-key hard reset this evening by myself as a last resort. If it doesnt work out, then I can send the phone to Lagos for proper flashing.

About the midnight call thing, it wont work because service [mtn/glo/etisalat] dey very poor in the place i stay.

folex:
after formatin, try reinstalling your latest fone firmware before installing the app through ovi store only, think dat shld work.

As I recall, I had already installed PR1.2 before formatting for the 1st time.

And each time, I formatted it, the software version remained at PR1.2.

I formatted using *#7370#, not using the 3-KEY HARD RESET.
