HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST ALTERNATIVE TO PAY-TV

About two years ago, a major paid TV company in Nigeria, increased its subscription prices across all platforms, leading many to protest and seek alternatives. Two years later, that company continues to lead the market in the Nigerian Pay-TV industry, while continuing to increase its subscription prices almost on a yearly basis. 

This post is going to outline the best options that address the 3 major challenges of cable and satellite TV: 

1.  High subscription prices
2.  Complicated installation
3.   Lack of portability

High subscription prices

The best alternative to high subscription prices is to get rid of them completely. Is that really possible? Let’s take a look at some options that help you bypass subscription prices:

a.       Internet: 

Many people are choosing to get all their entertainment from the internet these days.

        Pros:  

1. Infinite content
2. Accessible anywhere

                          Cons:

1. Data costs

b.      Decoders: 

 There are so many decoders on the market right now that give you access to about 10 to 20 free to air channels.

        Pros: 

1. Low price
2. No subscription fee
3. Ability to pause and record live TV 

                          Cons:

1.  Limited channel list

c.       IPTV Set Top Box: 

 Just like decoders, IPTV boxes are flooding the market. They allow you to view internet content on your TV.

        Pros:

1. Massive content library
2. Subscription not required to enjoy content

                          Cons:

1. Data costs

Complicated Installation

With Pay TV there is usually an installation fee, since the equipment is so complicated to install on your own. What are your options if you want to avoid this fee?

a.       IPTV Set Top Box: 

      Pros:

1. Simple to install
2. Easy user interface

      Cons:  

       IPTV boxes are usually plug and play, so there aren't really any disadvantages when it comes to installation.

b.      Decoders: 

 As we discussed above, decoders have similar features to the top Pay TV companies’ decoders at a fraction of the price. 

      Pros:

1. Low installation fee 
2. You're free to choose your preferred technician

      Cons:

1. Time spent searching for the right technician

     Lack of portability: 

     

   
      Your Pay TV equipment is set up to work in the location in your home where it was initially installed and nowhere else. To move it, you need to contact the company to have it reinstalled in a new location. Most companies realize that their customers are on the go, now, more than ever, and have developed apps that are accessible with the paid subscription. But we’re trying to lose that subscription, so what options do we have?

a.       IPTV Set Top Box: 

Like we mentioned before, these boxes are plug and play, so if you travel, you can take the box with you and connect it to the TV in your new location. 

      Pros:

1. Easy to set up in any location
2. Easily portable

      Cons:   

1. Server access may be interrupted depending on your location

  

Did you notice? IPTV Set Top Boxes are the only option that stand up to all 3 challenges. 

However, they are not without their own challenges, which is why Omovo Technologies Limited designed the Omovo TV Hybrid Entertainment Box. It combines IPTV and Satellite technology in an affordable package to help you truly break free from the challenges of Pay TV.
