In case, just in case, you have not paid plenty of attention, digital migration is the transition from analogue TV to digital terrestrial TV broadcasting, which countries around the world are expected to adopt. How did that come about? In 2006, member countries of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in Geneva, Switzerland, signed an agreement to move from analogue to digital broadcasting by June 2015, the deadline for Digital Switch Over (DSO). Nigeria, for a variety of reasons, did not meet the deadline and has set another one for June 2017.Digital migration entails the transmission of digital television signal over the earth from masts to home receivers.When DSO occurs, a TV viewer will need to have a set-top-box (STB) or use a digital TV in order to receive television services. A Set-Top Box is what is often referred to as a decoder. By acquiring a Set Top Box that is compatible with DVB-T2, the second generation broadcast technology (analogue uses the DVB-T or T-1 variety), with or without monthly subscription or by a digital television set, a television viewer will be able to receive signal when the DSO takes place, following the analogue switch off. This implies that a viewer will be unable to watch analogue television if he/she has not yet migrated.If you want to continue watching TV when DSO takes place, you will have to buy a Free-to-Air STB/decoder (a one-time purchase and no monthly subscription), an Integrated Digital Television set or a pay-TV STB/decoder (this comes with monthly subscription).DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) is the standard for digital television that has been adopted in most countries in ITU Region 1, where Africa falls.DVB-T, which stands for Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial, is the first DVB standard that is being replaced by DVB-T2.DVB-T2 stands for Digital Video Broadcasting (Second Generation Terrestrial), a newer system that provides the benefit of the best technical performance and the highest efficiency. DVB-T2 is not backward compatible with DVB-T. As such, DVB-T receivers cannot receive DVB-T2 signals, and neither can DVB-T2 receive DVB-T signals.This means that citizens of countries where migration is said to have been achieved by the June 2015 deadline, but on on T-1 technology will have to have to buy DVB-T2 receivers that support the DVB-T2 standard.To pick a digital broadcast signal, one needs to have a digital TV. Digital TV, that is a TV that has an inbuilt digital tuner. But if one still has an analogue TV, one will need to get a digital receiver in form of a set-top box, which converts the signals from a digital television broadcast into a form which can be viewed on the traditional analogue television set.Does this mean we now have to pay to watch the channels we have been receiving free under terrestrial broadcasting?There are two types of broadcasting service packages on the terrestrial platform: i.e. Free-to-air and Pay TV.The Free-to-Air channels are those you receive without having to subscribe or pay a monthly fee to receive. These channels will continue to be free even after the migration from analogue to digital broadcasting. Pay-TV requires you to subscribe and pay a subscription fee to watch the associated channels like DStv or GOtv.In analogue broadcasting, the signal is transmitted as a continuous wave, while digital transmission entails the transmission of the signal as a discrete wave. For digital TV, the signal is encoded and can be compressed to allow for more channels to be broadcast. Digital migration offers a greater range of dividends than analogue.For one, it ensures better visual quality and offers more services like radio, teletext, interactive services, games, and support for the visually-impaired and internet.In addition, it allows infrastructure-sharing by using the signal distributor's masts and affords greater opportunities for more local content production, which will yield more job opportunities for content creators. That way, it contributes in no small measure to the economic well-being of migrating countries. |

| Posted: 09 Aug 2015 04:55 AM PDT  "The Pussycat Doll singer have become very close in recent months, going on low-key nights out to quiet pubs. Nicole even dedicated a performance of his hit Sing to him. She initially reached out to Ed, 24, after telling him his songs helped her get over her split from Lewis Hamilton. After meeting up in London, Ed took the former X Factor judge for a date to his home town in Suffolk. He has since written lyrics for Nicole, while she has dedicated performances to him on stage at private gigs.  Last night Ed's pal said: "As far as he's concerned they were in the early stages of dating and he's been open about it with close friends and colleagues. It may not develop beyond those dates but they're definitely tight." A friend of Nicole's added: "They're extremely close. Nicole says he is the male version of her." Ed invited Nicole as one of his special backstage guests when he performed a record-breaking three consecutive shows at Wembley Stadium. She posted a picture of the pair on Instagram at 1.09am after his final gig on July 12, captioning it: "Okay okay you win @edsheeran, you're taller." Three days later, Ed took her to his home town of Framlingham. They were pictured drinking in The Station Hotel, a local pub. Her pal said: "She loved it because, as she put it, it was 'so real'. She kept saying that." In Hollywood on July 27, Nicole dedicated a performance of her hit song Don't Cha to her love interest, saying: "This is for you, Ed." |

| Lagos mums..this is exactly how you should get a nanny, driver or housekeeper Posted: 09 Aug 2015 03:04 AM PDT  Mums are the greatest people on Earth, because they have the immense responsibility of nurturing the future. But as a mother I know that no matter how incredible we are, sometimes it's simply impossible to handle all the responsibilities of a home and job. As our way of helping the busy mums and middle class workers in Lagos, we caught up with Care ng to learn more about how they are helping women and families across Lagos find perfect nannies, get drivers on demand andprofessional cleaners with complete security guaranteeDo you need a stress-free but highly secure and safe way of baby-sitting your kids even when you are at work, or a driver to take you to work for short periods of time or maybe a cleaner to help with cleaning when you are to busy… if so then read on.. What exactly does Care ngdo? Care ngis an organization that provides home services such as baby sitting, driving and cleaning to homes that need such services. We have over 1,000 registered nannies, over 400 licensed drivers and 550 cleaners currently we serve over 100 homes in Lagos only. Interesting. So you focus on getting home service providers in Lagos, why? How important is this? Going through the best process in getting a Nanny is extremely important for very obvious reasons. 1. You cant always be there with your kid and when you're not someone has to be there, who understands how to take care of a baby 2. This someone MUST BE a trustable professional who has been background checked 3. The individual must come from a professional agency that would interview each nanny to determine their babysitting skills The same goes for drivers, imagine driving from lekki to ikejawhen you are already tired stressed out or sleepy, what if you could get a driver for just 1 day or 1 week or 1 month and then what of those tough days when housechores are non-negotiable yet you need to rest or do office work, would it be awesome if you could simply get a cleaner on demand? Security SecuritySecurity?How can I be sure my home is safe Because we provide services at people's homes we take absolutely no chance at making sure our client feel secure and are indeed truly safe. Here are a few of the things we do 1. All our service providers especially nannies are physically interviewed by us, go through compulsory medical test and most importantly go through intense background checks to ensure that we always have enough information on that 2. All service providers give us at least 2 guarantors who will stand shortee for them if there should ever be a problem 3. To work with any of our nannies, clients are required to purchase a mobile hidden camera that they can log into to watch the nanny at any time of the day. Purchasing our hidden camera is absolutely compulsory for all clients that wish to work with us, clients who do not work with us can also reach out to us to purchase and install our cameras at a rate of N40,000 4. We regularly check up on our clients and incase of complaints we can easily replace your service provider Getting our organization to help you get a nanny, (on demand or full time) driver or (on demand or full time) cleaner ensures that you have all the above items fully covered besides it's a lot easier to get an amazing tutor from us rather than going from place to place. All you have to do is give us a call on 07084399842 and tell us what you need How many parents have you guys worked with so far and what is their testimonial? In total, we currently work with over 100 parents and have we served over 250 homes in total What are your prices? Are you guys really affordable? We discuss pricing based on the client needs and the service they are interested in i.e is it a nanny you want? Or a cleaner or a driver? To know more about the pricing please visit our website and fill any of the forms. But we like parents to know that the surveillance camera cost of N40,000when getting a nanny is absolutely non-negotiable and does not include the payment of the nannies. How do you contact us?
