hi senga,pls stop giving false amounts.were are ur facts that hitv spent over 200million on football in the last three years.if hitv spent the amount u calm then they would have all major sporting events apart from football.

hi,there will no increase in subscription for hitv single view subscribers that i know for sure.

hi all,sports rights have always been exclusive or non-exclusive,but it's the way and manner it was sold we are talking about.dstv were getting this rights for next to nothing but yet,their sub.,were high.but thanks to hitv u can now watch top class sports events at a good rate.SOON,movies,documentries etc will follow.

all the millions of dollars according to senga,they [hitv] is for the growth of the company.you can only buy what is avaliable.with time all[most] of our wishs will be answered.

hi all,for your inform all complains,suggestions etc are seriously been looked into by the hitv management.from epg,tv guide,website,programmes,parkaging,content,activation,customer relations etc.hoping from august they will be reveiled.

hi ehie,the business of dth/paytv is not a one year thing,it's long term.let's see if in 4years time if the business will be the same.

HI ehie,TIME SHALL TELL.

hi all,there are so many things in the offering,but i can't start telling u yet till officially confirmed.till then u just have to wait,

why don't u ask the epl guys why they shared the fixtures that way.remeber it's 80 hitv-20 dstv.look am not aying u have no right to complain,but pls let's mind our words.if we were put in the same situation am sure we would perform badly.let give more time.from the former post,u can see they have started to address all the worries of it's subscribers.

''We are delighted to have Entertainment Highway Limited on our list of customers from the African region. We are confident of leveraging our extensive local knowledge and domain expertise gained from similar DTH implementations worldwide to provide EHL a truly world-class solution.''

In his response, Mr. Toyin Subair, CEO, EHL and Managing Director of HiTV said the company is poised to provide broad based entertainment package to Nigerians and promised that the company will not relent in its determination to continuously update its facilities to meet international standards.

''As part of our commitment to providing leading-edge services to our customers in Nigeria, we chose MQSubscribe to manage our Subscriber Management, Billing, Dealer Entity Management, CRM and Logistics aspects of our business. We look forward to a long association with MagnaQuest.'' Subair added.
