The concept of TVs in Nigeria was introduced when people complained about the lack of access to some national and international TV channels. Before this time, people would hang their antennas on top of their houses and trees just to get signals. Despite this, there was little or no access to international stations as viewers were restricted to local channels and few national channels.
With the introduction of cable TV, viewers now have access to national and international channels without stress. While certain cable TVs have ruled the market over the years, some new ones are popping up to provide wider coverage, smoother signals, and more convenient payment plans; one of which is the TSTV.
The Telecom Satellite TV (TSTV) is among the new generation cable TVs recently introduced in Nigeria. This cable TV is becoming popular among the people and gradually creating its market. Cable TV is a Direct-to-Home (DTH) pay-TV service provider. Although it still isn’t close to being the most popular nor the most sought-after, TSTV boasts of features that will make the brand eventually hit the market running.
Talk about flexible subscription rates and various national and international channels, talk about ease of use and signal strength, TSTV stands boldly among the best. With viewer-friendly channels, easy-to-use remote control, and a stress-free installation process, the brand looks to be the darling of the people soon enough.
Just like other cable TVs in Nigeria, TSTV offers various subscription packages to its viewers. They offer one of the cheapest and most convenient packages. Viewers can subscribe for as low as N200 to have access to their favourite channels without any hitch. Although they don’t offer as many channels as most other cable TVs, their channels are equally informative, educative, and entertaining.
In this post, we will take a look at how much the TSTV decoders go for in the market. We will also take a look at various packages available on the platform and how much they cost.
Prices of TSTV Decoders in Nigeria
TSTV is not the most popular cable TV in the country, but they are gradually drawing admiration and pulling their market. With the quality of services they offer, you will expect cable TV to be among the best-rated TV service providers soon. Unlike some other cable TVs, TSTV has limited options in the types of decoders available.
The newly-launched TV service decoder also called the Set-Top Box (STB), is also one of the cheapest in the country. The decoder costs anything from N15,000 without installation charges and anything from N17,000 with installation charges. The variation in the price of the decoder is a result of certain factors including the place and period of purchase. Installation charges always range between N2,000 and N5,000.
TSTV subscription packages are unique and affordable. Viewers can subscribe as low as N200 and as it stands, their highest subscription rate is N3, 000. Let us take a look at various subscription packages available on TSTV.
- Daily Subscription Package: From N200
- 3-Day Subscription package: From N500
- 7-Day Subscription package: From N750
- 14-Day Subscription package: From N1500

As it stands, the TSTV full subscription is nailed at N3,000. The full subscription comes with extra packages including 10GB of data to browse on any device on the brand’s 4.5G network. First-timers get 20GB of data on their first full subscription.
All channels are accessible irrespective of the plans you subscribe to. Access to major channels is denied once the subscription time elapses. This flexible subscription is one of the most attractive features of TSTV.
