Factors To Be Considered Before Buying TStv Decoder

Yeah! TStv officially launched its services in Nigeria on 1st of October, 2017. It is no longer a dream waiting to happen, it is now a reality and in fact a dream come true. Now, we can say we have what we can call our own. What a wonderful news on Nigeria 57th independence day.

The venue was Sheraton hotels Abuja, Nigeria. In attendance were men and women of timber and caliber which includes The Minister of information Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

Fortunately, the Federal Government granted a 3-year tax relief to the newly inaugurated Pay TV operator in the country, TStv Africa, as well as tax-free TStv dividends to all investors in the company.  The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, announced this yesterday at a dinner to mark the official unveiling of the new company.

Below are the highlights of the occasion of TStv Africa launching at the Sheraton hotel. The event was broadcasted live on AIT.

• The MC did his job perfectly by keeping the guest alive and introducing the speakers
• We had in attendance the Minister for information, Former minister for aviation Mr FemiFanii Kayode, some artist and others that I can’t mention
• They introduced some entertainment channels like “Hits tv”, M Africa, gande movie and so on. But there was nothing like the “bein sports”, and “fox sports”
• A notable staff from Nigerian broadcasting commission addressed the crowd and made a mistake of mentioning “DSst” instead of TStv. Don’t blame her its one of those things, everyone is used to the SA giant
• Lastly, the honorable minister officially inaugurated the decoder which is exactly like what is on their website. Any newly established creative/entertainment industry in Nigeria is now eligible to 3 years tax relief. This is a good incentive. I wish they extend this across all sectors

From the points highlighted above, you should notice that the TStstv Africa launched without mentioned dedicated sports channels that can broadcast prominent football action across the major leagues of the world, but don’t let your heart be broken, they offer other innovative features that are first of its kind in Nigeria. You will never regret buying their decoder trust me.

I do not feel disappointed with lack of sports channels on TStv at the launching. TStv offer pay as you view, Wifi routing, huge data, different channels for everyone, pausing of subscription capability and PVR, all in one package with a very affordable price. And the internet speed is peaked at 4G. It means even villagers can enjoy 4G network. I take my hat off for all the people behind this freaking awesome.
