TSTV Channels, frequency and Subscription Price

TSTV offers a range of affordable satellite TV packages with a unique “pay-as-you-watch” model, giving viewers in Nigeria more control over their subscriptions. The TSTV channel lineup includes a mix of local and international content: Nollywood and Bollywood movies, sports (including Premier League and La Liga matches), news, documentaries, music, and children’s shows. Popular channels on TSTV include Al Jazeera, Fox Movies, African Movie Channel, Nickelodeon, and ESPN.

For frequency settings, TSTV uses satellite frequencies on the ABS 3A satellite at 3° West. You can manually configure your TSTV decoder by setting the frequency to frequency 11130 MHz, horizontal polarization, and a symbol rate of 30,000 KS/s for optimal signal strength.

TSTV’s subscription prices vary based on the chosen package, with options starting as low as ₦200 for daily access, up to ₦3,000 for a full month. This flexibility makes TSTV a budget-friendly option with diverse content.

The pay-per-view model employed by TSTV is also commercially impossible as averred by the satellite broadcaster. A pay-per-view model isn’t the only interesting introduction by the indigenous brand, there’s a purported enablement for a pause in subscription. This would mean subscribers only pay for what they view and not a generally-made subscription model.

TSTV Vs DSTV

In comparison with DSTV, TSTV sincerely has a length of way to go. The broadcast quality of DSTV is greater than those of the indigenous brand. This is because TSTV employs the use of direct to home (DTH) service while DSTV uses cable satellite network in receiving and broadcasting television signals. The only area which the later beats the former is in the subscription value.

The pay-per-view model by TSTV allows users to only pay for what they are presently viewing, with an added convenience for subscription delay. With this, the perculiarity of Nigeria’s epileptic power supply which would have led to a wasteful subscription is parted aside.
