TO provide alternative solutions to the epileptic power supply, to enable television viewers to catch fun in ongoing Nations Cup, in the country, DStv Mobile Nigeria has launched new innovative products called “Walka,” into the Nigerian market.
The Walka is a DVB-H handheld TV device, which will enable DStv subscribers to watch television at a go, and at anywhere they may find themselves.
The launch of the Walka follows a long line of technology innovations associated with the DStv brand - including the Drifta, DStv Mobile (access to DStv channels via mobile phone), High Definition PVR decoders and integrated customer service tools.
General Manager of Digital Mobile Television (Nigeria) (DMTV) Limited, Mayo Okunola noted that with the new Walka device, subscribers within DStv mobile network coverage areas in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Ibadan, Enugu, Benin, Onitsha, Aba and Asaba will now have access to the channels on the DStv Mobile DVB-H network.
“DStv Mobile is proud to once again be at the fore-front on the cutting edge of mobile technology and in responding to Nigeria’s’ increasingly mobile culture.
“A new technology such as the Walka requires significant amounts of investment, however, it is an investment that we are committed to make to ensure that Nigerians and DStv subscribers have access to the latest media and technology available in the market.”
Managing Director of MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe made it cleared that the launch of Walka underlines the vision of the company to surround television viewers with compelling content anywhere they may find themselves. He noted that, “whether at home, at work, at play or while sitting in traffic, we are determined to provide the avid TV viewer with varied options to catch up with breaking news, sports, current affairs and other programmes.”
General Manager of SuperSport Nigeria, Felix Awogu said, “ sport loving Nigerians are best placed to enjoy the benefits of a mobile device like the Walka, this device couldn’t have come at a better time for sports lovers in the country especially with the African Cup of Nations, UEFA Champions league, EURO Cup and the Olympics all taking place this year. With Walka, I guarantee sports-loving subscribers that they will not experience any dull moments throughout the year,” he noted.
For those, who are currently DStv premium subscribers the Walka package known as Maxi Plus (15 channels), will be provided at no extra subscription. Subscribers with packages lower than the DStv premium or non – DStv subscribers can choose either a Mini package (11 channels) going for N680 per month or the Maxi Package (14 channels) going for N1,680 per month.
The channels in all packages are carefully selected to ensure they meet diverse viewing interests ranging from news, sports, movies, kids programs to music. Sony Max was recently added to the entertainment channel line up.
So whether at home, at work, at play or while sitting in traffic you can catch up with breaking news, sports, current affairs and other programmes showing on DStv.
