Pay TV operator TSTV has announced its return into the Nigerian market. In a statement, Bright Echefu, MD/CEO TSTV Africa, revealed the company has been faced with several challenges that were not thought of prior to launch.
“I doubt if a week passed without us quenching one fire or the other. We didn’t anticipate that there would be war. We were also not trained to fight in the arena we were pushed into. The kinds of weapons our enemies would later contend us with, showed they had stocked their armoury waiting for a time like now,” Echefu said.
While admitting that TSTV cannot match the financial powers and political influences of its competitors, the CEO noted TSTV’s determined spirit and “a steadfast God”.
“Our struggles drained us financially and pitched us against all good meaning Nigerians, subscribers and dealers that believed in us. We were wrestled even down to our satellite providers,” the CEO said.
TSTV officially returned on 20 August, 2018 and is working with NigComSat which offered TSTV 5 units of 35.5MHz transponders through a collaboration with Intertel, Federal Ministry of Communications and Nigcomsat.
“TSTV can now offer Nigerians the true meaning of video entertainment. Our TSTV has successfully migrated to Nigeria Communication Satellite. All channels in Full HD. No one does that. More channels are being added daily,” Echefu said.
The company is offering its subscribers free access to the 45 TSTV premium HD channels for another one month.
According to him, any dish can now be used to access TSTV including the ones of the company’s competitors.
“We are now a True Nigerian Brand and we all should support ours. Kindly monitor our progress by tracking your dish to 42.5oE, Frequency 12589, Symbol Rate: 30,000. Polarization: Horizontal,” the CEO said.
