Hmm... another quiet weekend at PNF. Just came back from visiting with some friends. I started watching Romancing the Stone with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. Was a big hit over a decade ago. I seem to have forgotten the film entirely. Will finish it tonight.
What do you Guys think of Baba's attempt to solve ALL our problems b4 he goes? The amount of monies announced after last weeks' FEC meeting for Nigerian Railway was around 1 billion dolars if I hard correctly. What will the next Prez do?

@2Tek: Nilesat is free-to-air, but the equipment aint free at all, it'll set you back some 130 grand. Haven't heard about the expiration of DStv's exclusive broadcast of the premiership in Africa, last time I heard, it was a 10-year deal.
@Coola: I guess Baba just realised that posterity would judge him and wants to make an impact in the little time he has left. My bet is that these were the plans he had for the deceased third term in office.
Howz everyone doing? |

@2Tek... My friend is into Satellite... he has a dish that gives him Euro Leagues free. Not sure of the price. There is one for 30k that has several South African stations like SABC1,2,3 eTV, and sevaral Christians Stations.
How far with your Vmobile Vactive wahala?
@Amby... Baba is looking at all those billions and wants to sink them into projects b4 someone else squanders them all. With Okonjo-Iweala out of the way, there is no check on his way. Don't be surpirsed that each contractor will "drop" something into the PDP's Political Campaign Funds.

@coola: That would be Sentech's Vivid digital platform. I can't believe people in Nigeria actually watch South African television...Only a few shows are worth watching on SABC's channels...the best one would be SABC3.

Yep, everything ppl pay DSTV for.
@brix... I haven't asked him to rate the stations. But, I think eTV shows good movies... 2 weekends ago, I watched "A Bug's Life" at my brothers house. .. he has the same thing too. Some of the Christian Videos I watch on one of the channels, JCTV, are the same stuff I am hearing on my Internet radio when I tune in using Windows Media Player.
RESULTS: The SA thread had just 4 pages and 57 posts more to catch-up with the 9ja thread. Oya o!

I do not know which sort of free to air satellite systems you guys are talking about, but I know for sure that only the decoder is sold for B/W N18-24k so how the entire system could be installed for N35k beats me. The dishes being sold in the N130k package are motorised and so are able to pick signals from several satellites as soon as you enter the co-ordinates into the decoder.

That is why he is in the Satellite biz and we are not. His dishes are not motorised and remember that the size u need in the north maybe smaller than the one u need in the south.
(Ain't that nice: we in the north are closer to heaven than you Guys in the south.)
I think his decoder is around 15k and the dish is around 20k. But the dish for the Euro Leagues is a bigger one and it faces a different direction.

@amby, coola, 2tek: the dishs are not motorized, about 4 feet diameter and the stations are majorly in arabic but the few english stations (ONETV which shows american tv shows and movies, MBC2 which shows movies 24hrs and MBC4 also showing american tv shows, movies and american news programs like ABC and CBS). That combo of 3 stations keeps me busy. Ask ur satelite dealers about it. |
