Thank you for your responses, sorry to be discussing non-contraception related topics in this section.

That would explain it, as both those surveys are from 2010.

I think I may have misinterpreted Table 2.6 in Guinea 2005 as there is a list if durable goods and at the end it says "No access to any of the above" whereas none of the other DHS reports I looked at reported this. However, you are right and I should not be trying to make a comparison of this so thank you very much for pointing this out.

I was using the report from Nigeria 2008 as I started the analysis before the 2013 report was out. I we interested in this question because the reports report on different things some say 'no exposure to any media' (Ghana 2008, Guinea 2005, Mali 2006, Senegal 2010-11, Sierra Leone) as opposed to 'access to no media at least once a week' (Burkina Faso 2010, Nigeria 2008) and I wondered if this might be because in Burkina Faso and Nigeria everyone had access to media at least once a week but I think from your response I many not be able to draw this conclusion as it is probably only comparability/reporting issue rather than in interesting difference.
