Since you’ve not heard about TSTv… Let me start by explaining what it is.
What is TSTv?
TSTv stands for Telcom Satelite Tv, a Pay-As-You-Consume Cable TV provider in Nigeria, operated by ABS and Telcom Satellites TV. They are in partnership with European based television station, ABS global to launch a satellite Tv into Nigerian Broadcasting Service.
Managing director of Telcom Satelite Tv, Bright Echefu said, TSTv would be distributed on ABS-3 satellite located at a prime video neighbourhood of 3°W and the antenna would be straight to the sky such that there would be no interference.
Telcom Satelite Tv is the next big thing in Nigeria and they are looking to launch with a lot of unbelievable AWOOF!
And yeah, I called if AWOOF because;

Where to buy TSTv
Like I said, This device will be sold at ₦5,000 for both decoder and the dish.
Although, there is no announcement yet about where to purchase the Telcom Satelite Tv decoder and dish at the moment.
You can always check back as this post will be updated once available for purchase in Nigeria.
My verdict:
Dear Nigerians let us support TSTv to give DStv a good competition.
I don’t know if Telcom Satelite Tv will be another HiTV but when they launch, I am definitely buying it. If for nothing else, to contribute to shaking up DSTv a bit.
Buy Naija to grow naira!!!
Join me today as I say Goodbye to DSTV.
But I really want to know what you think about this pay TV… Acknowledging that it is straight out of Naija, are you going to ditch your GOtv, DSTv or Startimes to buy the cheap TSTv?
