New Satellite Television service in Namibia

The need for Television entertainment and the lack of good affordable television entertainment or enough private or public Television has left no choice but MULTICHOICE for premium television entertainment. Multichoice’s DSTV bouquets and costs are prohibitive for most Namibians who cannot afford their products or feel short changed by the lesser entertaining cheap bouquets. Free to Air satellite systems have gained popularity over the years as a result of the expensive and limited bouquets as well as a lack of good programmes from the three local TV channels. An opportunity exists therefore for an affordable, quality television service in Namibia and MY TV is an affordable alternative. Our satellite TV service is affordable, provides high quality international, regional and local channels and programmes intended for the African family. Realistic pricing and a balanced choice of programs were the determining factors in selecting channels for My TV . The aim is to have something of interest for every member of the family, across the full age spectrum.
The service comprises a mix of movies, sports, music, kids, news and general interest channels all of which can be received (in most places) on a standard 90cm parabolic antenna (dish). My TV channels are globally renowned leaders in family lifestyle entertainment and premiere an exciting showcase of programming and events.

The My TV satellite television service is owned and backed by Strong Technologies l.l.c., of Dubai, which was set up at the beginning of 1996 as part of the Strong & Co. (Far East), Ltd. group of companies, of Yokohama, Japan. The parent company was founded in 1868 and had the distinction of being the first-ever foreign organisation to be licensed to operate in Japan. The group’s activities are diverse and include manufacturing and distribution of products ranging from perfume to carbon fibre sports products, from oil supply equipment to fabrics, from motors to satellite TV receiving equipment and content.

Strong Technologies l.l.c. was established as a regional office to cover the Middle & Near Easts, Africa and parts of Asia, handling the satellite TV receiving equipment distribution activities for the group. The impact of the products and level of service provided was immediate: with its business partners and within a relatively short period of time, Strong Technologies l.l.c. was able to gain the trust of a wide and demanding range of customers. Since 1998, Strong Technologies l.l.c. has remained a major player in the satellite TV receiving equipment industry in the region. As at today, over 5 million households, in the Middle East alone, are equipped with a Strong branded product. The search for active and qualified new partners is always on.  In February 2009 Mbok Investments Company Limited (MINVESTCO) secured the Mastor Distributorship for My TV Service for the Namibian Territory from Strong Technologies LLC.
