What is happening with the Free to-air- digital TV launched by the federal Government? It seems lots of people have abandoned it.
At launch, the FG said the new Free-to-Air television had wide range of channels so that it could compete with foreign satellite televisions such as GOtv, DSTv, and the Startimes. But right now, complaint are coming from right left and center.
The Free to air decoder dubbed FreeTV comes with 30 channels but some persons are only able to access few of the channels. Other complaints include lack of BBC, CNN, Super Sports, among others as expected by users.
FreeTV coverage
FreeTv covers 6 locations which includes; Plateau, Abuja, Kwara, Kaduna, Enugu and Osun State.
How much is the Decoder?
The decoder is sold for N1500. No monthly subscription. You only subscribe yearly
Those of you using this Free-to-air decoder, how has been your experience so far?
have not heard about dis free tv before.
tho, prof listed kwara up dre
i spent almost a year in kwara and did even see anytin like freee tv decorder.
i really dnt know who’s is using it..
lastly anything thats not in lagos, its meaningless from my own point of view
Just hearing about this the first time and I have been in Abuja. I guess the likes of dstv and gotv has made its awareness very low to some persons like myself
Gbam…my landlord and his family used this…once see them watch so many programs on it, they have been using it since last year and is still working fine, thou they used it with 2dishes
Never heard of this free TV oooo
Although nothing do last in naija
Especially free things
so lagos is nigeria right?. The free to air is part of the analogue to digital switch over initiative and it was launched first in plateau state in 2016 by NBC, it is kind of worrying that 2years after they are yet to cover half of the states in Nigeria because from my understanding the country was given a deadline of 2017 by the international telecommunitions union(ITU) to switch over after we missed the previous deadline of 2015.
Have heard of this before oh.
Nawa oh. Am not sure its still existing
private sector in the first place the whole process is flaw and complaints are mounting The experience is bad infact it should have been handled by
First time I’m hearing about this, how do we expect anything free by FG to work well ?
first time hearing of it
Can anything done by the Nigerian government be so successful? Rubish!
have not heard of this free to air decoder but notwithstanding how do you expect quality when it lacks proper budgeting. #1500 ! Gather all the state channel past the content it offers.
prof. nice info
It’s now 3500 in kwara state
Never heard of this decoder
This is most surprising, never heard of this. It is nice if working fine
No even public awareness. No advertisements. Dy need to improve the service and go online Instagram Facebook Twitter to market it.
I heard a friend talk about this but never saw it up close.
I don’t know about it. This free stuff may not show premium channels. It’s a welcome development but poor management and corruption in every post is always the problem.
Prof thanks for the airtime.
Good morning prof, Pls I’m setting up an iPhone 4 and I’m stuck @ SIM not supported screen, what will I do. thanks
Hello Kay,
It appears the iPhone 4 is locked to a particular network. Try another sim, if it gives you thesame result, then your iPhone 4 needs to be unlocked
Thanks prof, I have tried another SIM it’s still the same thing. Pls do u know how I can unlock it? Thanks
Haven’t heard of this free to air tv
Thanks for the airtime, prof
Lol. I have been seeing dis thing in kd for long oh. I thought it was one of those imported Chinese decoders dat are tweaked to catch some channels. Never knew it was even federal government owned. Mtcheew
Hmmm
I know this doesn’t concern the topic.
Prof or any knowledgeable user in the house, how do I go about receiving and cashing out a check from surveysavvy…has anyone done that before?
Lack of maintenance
The decoder is now sold for 3500 in plateau state no longer the initial 1500.
If u need more info about the decoder
Who expects anything good to last from the Federal Government. It’s no surprise at all to hear this.
first time hearing this
