There’s nothing more annoying than finding a show you love on TV and realising that you have to miss it. With the kind of hectic traffic you experience in different cities across Nigeria, sometimes it’s inescapable. Other times, life happens. Whether or not you’re happy or sad about what life brings, you can’t deny that you still get upset when you think about missing those TV shows.
Considering how painful this can be to most people, we’ve come up with five brilliant plans to make sure you never miss another episode of your favourite show again.
1. Set alarms on your phone: The easiest way to always keep track of your favourite show is to have several alarms that remind you that they are about to start. Depending on how much you love the show, set more than two alarms about 20 minutes apart. If you miss the first 2 or 3, you’ll not miss the last one that will probably be closest to viewing time.
2. Clear your calendar for the show: To do this, you’ll have to know what time and days the series airs. Then clear your schedule around whatever time and be set and ready to watch your show five minutes before it even starts. If you are extra forgetful, set a google calendar reminder so that your phone will always remind you. If you still miss the show after this, then you are on your own.
3. Set the show to record: We recognise that this isn’t an option that is available for everyone. But, if you have a PVR decoder, then you never have to worry again about missing your show. Set the series you’re currently in love with to record. Make sure there are no recording conflicts. Then you can go on with other tasks since you know you can watch the new episode whenever you are ready.
4. Watch it on the go on your DSTV app: If you typically watch your favourite show on DSTV, then you are already covered. No matter where you are, you can catch new episodes on the DSTV App. You can also connect one decoder to multiple devices. No matter what’s happening, you will be sure that you can watch your series. So if you are stuck in traffic, out with friends (and you’d rather not), or just somewhere far from your TV; then you can stay connected with the app.
5. Follow the show on a streaming service: If all else fails, watch the series on a streaming service of your choice. Give up on all things TV monitoring and have a binge night with all the episodes in one place. Streaming services like Showmax will guarantee that you never have to worry about missing even one episode of your most-loved series ever again.
We know these are just some of the ways to stay on top of the shows you love. Let us know if you have other methods you use that we missed out in the comment section!
