  1. i use Ctl in port harcourt…is the best…i watch all the matches….i miss Mbc 2….if they cum to lagos,Dstv will loss their customers

  2. first time of hearing about ctl but if they offer all those channels lised then they are viable.

  3. Mr yomi I sent you a mail please go through over it I want to be sure with what I’m about to deal with

  4. Ctl don dey for years. I saw it when I visited Benin like 6 years but unfortunately not available in State of Osun.

  5. I swear their channels are better than of TSTV. THE reason why I like TSTV is because of that mbc Action and their hit music. Then I like DSTV because of discovery. I like wwe channel but dstv don’t even have it. Should have gone for this supposedly I know on time. No wahala sha. Thanks for the information.

  6. This is exactly what some viewing centers are using to show matches here in Uyo and I must say I’ll always be surprised that it has not displaced DSTV by now because it’s rich in content and comes very cheap .

  7. Like it was since 2014 but they later have serious problem. So they are back now. I don’t think their service is in Lagos

  8. Prof please your comment section should have a “delete” option for comment posted with mistakes, you know android keyboard with over sabi.

  9. Read this, the monthly subscription is 3200 not 2800 per say. It covers all the major leagues including Champions league. The only problem should be the picture quality not being HD. It what am using in my office here in Portharcourt.

    • Hello Churchill,
      Thanks for the head up. Is it all the package that goes for 3200 or some goes for N2800? I’m also aware they have HD decoder and normal decoder, are you using the HD decoder or the normal decoder?

      • Well, I’ve been using ctl for over two years now and it’s always 3200. I don’t think it has another package, not sure, it’s always 3200.

      • It’s not the HD version though, only see that on TV. While watching the Epl, it’ll show beingSport3HD, but the quality isn’t HD. And at times, theres this audio seizures. But overall, it the big Big deal.

        • I actually visited a friend in PHC few weeks back and he was using the CTL HD decoder. I checked the sport channels the pic wasn’t bad. The only channel with bad pic was their Yoruba Channel.. nothing to right home about..

          Thanks for the head up bro.

  10. For those of using it picture quality nothing to write about, you will be watching a match before you know they will change it from their office, most times you battle with signal problem and cracking. Even recharge na wahala

  11. Its a pure lie their signal is one of the best have seen so far . stil surprised ppl dont use it much. evn when is raining, it doesnt disturb it. we have been using it for years. i cant exchange it for any. i stay in aba. It’s very cheap considering it offers almost all live sports channels
