I rufused having anything or partnership with Startimes despite the frenzy and hype when it came out, Nigerians were estactic, they rushed to buy startimes decoder, and the best they finally got was sickening and BP raising sounds and quality, several have long dumped their startimes decoders as toys for their infants. There is no free lunch. Today those who Gotv gave a chance to become illuminated are crying TSTV, these are the same people who dumped startimes years back, these are the same people engaging in all sort of get rich schemes, and these are the same people that have 5 strong antennas seeking for free to air that shows premiership. My anger is why decieve others not to subscribe. Nigerians can be so gullible. Mark my words TSTV is dead on arrival. Good day.
