We sincerely apologise for the shortage of TSTV Sassy accessories (90cm dish, LNB and 20m cable) nationwide. This was due to some challenges faced last week by the logistics company contracted to distribute the accessories.

We already have thousands of decoders distributed nationwide and thousands more will be delivered to dealers offices next week.

We have assurances that distribution of accessories would resume from tuesday 10th of April, 2018.
