you don't even need a DSTV. Get an Amazon Firestick and plug to your TV. Its better than the most smart TV's

For more than 2 years I have been consistently subscribing to DSTV, from last year march till last month, I was on price lock on 9k for compact. No doubt I was actually enjoying dstv especially premier league football.

So my subscription expired last week and I checked the new price for compact, it was 15k+. Geskiya I said I can't be subscribing again. The money is too much. Thanks almost 180k per year.

So yesterday, I was at home, was now playing around with my TV apps, what I saw really amazed me.

There are plenty apps that shows children movies, another ones shows action films, though old, but they are interesting. There is an afroland TV that shows Nigerian movies. This afroland shows live 24 news. There is Plex TV that shows live channels and still have movies too.

Then I discovered that Al Jazeera, channels TV and some other news channels shows live on YouTube. Worst of it all is that, on YouTube there are some personal channels that have full videos on movies both foreign and locals, with very recent cartoons.

Then I said let me test the cast option. Lo and behold, when man city match started, I used a stream app to watch football on my phone then I now casted it to TV. O boy, everything clear.

I watched Man city, Tottenham and Chelsea matches.

When I was leaving the house after Chelsea match, I checked my data, despite connecting it to my TV since morning, I didn't blow up to 4g.

So if I used that my 9k I was using to subscribe to DSTV compact and buy Airtel 22g for 5k, I will be on unlimited streaming till month end.

Watch at you own space.

In addition, some of these documentaries that is been shown on nat geographic gold and wild, discovery channel, investigation ID, there episodes are there on YouTube. All you need is to search for it.

My brothers and sisters....

Bye bye to DSTV and other paid TV.


In addition, there is a radio app on the smart TV that brings to you plenty radio channels both home and abroad. What I haven't confirmed is if it's live or pre recorded.

Welcome to the club. If you can configure Kodi, that's where the world of entertainment and TV viewing ends!

I've packed my cable box and dish like 5years ago.

Hahaha. Thank God u have seen the light. When I told my wife I will no longer substitute dstv she was angry. But now she doesn't allow me handle remote unless it's a football game. Thanks to an IPTV I subscribed to. Endless movies and shows for the family and kid. Once u get data forget it u don't need datv

Which platform shows the live match? Also can we get it on YouTube?

25k.

But it is not every month I do that. I roll over the data.

My data usage is high because I streaming with my laptop and connect with TV. Obviously, if you use smart TV it will be cheaper.

Then about 3-4 phones connect to the router for data use too.

So that's why I use so much in a month. But I prefer it since I am not being billed for what I don't use (away at work all day).

go for unlimited broadband,it's better and cheaper

You still need to do more research as you haven't discovered the main thing. If you do proper research you might not even need your phone or tablet to cast onto your TV. whatever you are doing today, there is always a better way for a better result.
hmm you mean free to air right?

What exactly is your boy streaming that he is using more than 40GB a month?
He is always on his tab/phone 24/7 and doesn't do other things?
Because even as an adult, I roll over 40GB every month and here i am wondering what a primary school pupil is doing that he is using more than 40GB a month.

It could be porn grin grin grin

DSTV that is ripping off Nigerians will soon start begging for patronage.

All these adverts here and there, DSTV is better (if not for their price hike) when you are watching live football games. I always feel irritated whenever I'm watching a live football game and I hear goal from a small bar adjacent to my house and will be wondering who scores while watching the same match

More people are discovering that it doesn't guzzle data that much.

That's the fear of many and with the increase in price many are exploring and coming to the realisation that it's better after all.

If for nothing else the ability to be in control is well worth it.


Even with the increase it's always same programmes and movies nothing new.
Necessity is the mother of many discoveries and inventions.
