Prof, CTL is not available in Lagos. It’s majorly in the east
FTC…..!!!!!
Seem i’L get dz.., but TSTV is still the best
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
not heard of it.
Good job prof. Plz. The decoder can work in kaduna State? Thanks
Hello Aminu, I don’t know if its available in Kaduna but Its available in Abuja and Jos
thanks prof.
First I’m hearing of this. And their Channel list is very ok.
I heard it’s cool, worth trying when they cover my area
Nice one prof kudos but the subscription is too high
first time of hearing about ctl but if they offer all those channels lised then they are viable.
I know it will not be available here, am in one the poorest state in Nigeria
it seems okay, this one they launched silently without any noise or fanfare.
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
I’ve replied your mail
Hardly see it in abuja
it is available in Abuja
I have never heard of this decoder
Ctl don dey for years. I saw it when I visited Benin like 6 years but unfortunately not available in State of Osun.
never heard of this decoder ooo
this my first time of hearing this…Prof is it reliable in connection stuff
Yes, very reliable
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.
Just hearing dis for the very first time
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 .
Heard of this a long time ago but unfortunately its not available in my location
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
Never heard of this decoder. They have good quality channels
I think there are better packages in this, Will try it out.
I normally see this in Onitsha shaa. May try it out.
Prof please your comment section should have a “delete” option for comment posted with mistakes, you know android keyboard with over sabi.
Ibadan and Lagos location please
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.
You’re welcome Uncle Yomi
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
Lie, big lie. It has a better signal than Dstv. Recharging is as simple as recharging my phone.
You know you just told a big fat lie Sir.
Sir you’re a liar.
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
