Brief History of TStv
Telcom Satellite TV (TStv) was officially launched in Nigeria on the 1st of October 2017, which is also Nigeria’s Independence day. The TV company is a wholly-owned Nigerian digital Pay-TV operator. Upon arrival, TStv was well received by Nigerians, especially those who saw it as a messiah that would liberate them from the monopoly of DSTV.
The sole aim of the innovation is to have a homegrown digital satellite service for citizens, and it was birthed by solution finding exploits of Africa Health Television AHT. The unconducive economic situation in Nigeria prompted the initiators to share in finding solutions to ameliorate the relatively high rate of DSTV and GOTV services.
Its launch on 1st October 2017 came with several packages, including a three-year tax break and 5,000 free decoders. TStv boasts special features such as PVR function, 20GB complimentary, Pause function, 24 hours customer service online, Video calls, and WiFi.
