The indigenous direct-to-home TV service provider, TStv, has reached an agreement with Strong Technology Ltd. to migrate its MyTV customers on SRT 497S-HEVC decoders to TStv Africa pay TV platform.
The perception manager, TStv, Yemi Adebowale, who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, said MyTV would cease broadcasting on September 1.
Mr Adebowale said that due to the HEVC-encoded nature of TStv broadcasts, it was only SRT 497S-equipped MyTV viewers that would qualify to get access to TStv channels, at this stage.
He said that the migration process was simple and seamless, as TStv broadcasts were relayed by the same satellite used by MyTV in February 2020.
The manager said that a simple blind scan of that satellite’s frequencies would tune in and store all TStv channels.
According to him, TStv offers 104 high-definition channels that duly equipped My TV viewers can start enjoying immediately.
“STRONG/MyTV dealers are ready and eager to assist MyTV viewers with the migration process,” he said.

“An interested SRT 497S owner will be required to pay N12,000 in contribution toward migration costs including the simultaneous encryption (“simulcrypt”) of TStv channels with MyTV’s encryption tools (“Conditional Access System”, or “CAS”).
“Against said payment, TStv will credit the new subscriber its wallet with N12, 000 to spend, however, he wishes.
