Brief History of Startimes Tv in Nigeria
Startimes tv Nigeria is managed by the NTA star tv network and was the first digital Tv to hit the Nigerian market earlier in 2010.
It uses DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcast on Terrestrial) technology which does not require the installation of a dish to deploy its services.
This technology has since then been upgraded to DVB-T2.
The first set of customers that bought the DVB-T decoders can only use it in the first four (4) cities their service was initially launched. Which are Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt and Kano.
The new DVB-T2 technology will work anywhere in the country where they operate or where their services have been extended to.
The introduction of Startimes digital tv to the Nigerian market in 2010 challenged DSTV which happens to be the most popular dish based pay-tv.
Reason being startimes decoder and subscription packages can be afforded by an average Nigerian.
As a result of this, Multichoice Africa (dstv’s parent company) launch a new product (GoTv) to tackle startimes in 2012.
It has been a tight competition between startimes Nigeria and GoTv Nigeria over the past 10 years. This has aided in the slashing of decoder and packages price.
Startimes has recently launched a new set of decoders with technology better than DVB-T2. In fact, their latest and most expensive decoder uses dishes.

Final Thought on StarTimes Packages
Right now, you know the startimes decoder price in Nigeria. The only reason numerous Nigerians haven’t switched to startimes might have something to do with the rights to show Premier League, La Liga and Champions League.
The moment they secure those rights, we can confidently say, let the competition begins.
Because every other category such as movies (especially), documentaries, music, news etc are on the same par with dstv and gotv.
Yes, I know that there is still no CNN but you have Fox News, BBC World News, CNBC and CGTN.
Their packages are cheap and from the list of channels on each of them, you immediately know which one is for you and which one isn’t.
I did not talk about the chinese package on purpose because as a Nigerian, i doubt you will be paying to watch the package.

Please I made a payment subscription on Nova bouquet but orisun has not been showing for the past 5days now
I recharged startimes basic
package early march 2020
and couldn’t find most of the
channels like- st. kunfu, novela e,
sino drama,tbn,e.tv,novela plus emmanuel tv, dove etc. I placed
a call to customer service and they
said i should keep turning the
antenna which i did but it didnt yield
any result. I have recharged again same thing. What do i do because it
is very frustrating when i can’t watch
my favourite sino drama.

I recharge startimes basic for 1300 and it’s expired was after two weeks why so
I had same experience several times before they took my two subscriptions without any access. I am done with startime
Very bad that I recharged startime classic twice now as a new Costumer each time it expired 11 days after subscription this is stealing not up to one month am done with startime.I preferred Gotv
Pls I recharge startimes nova for 900 but it expired after 2weeks. Decoder number :02110979510
what does it take to use startimes decoder that was given to me but not working after try to connect.
I have a startimes decoder, but I don’t subscribe it because there is no CNN and Telemundo channels on any of their packages. The moment they add CNN at least, I’ll be their number one fan , because, I think startimes is great and will take over the market if there is CNN- the best news channel for the matured minds!
Mine is question, I’m using antenna with startime decorder, I want to change the antenna to use dish. please is it possible to replace dish with antenna with one decorder????
I subscribed #1900 instead of #2500 bcoz I have no idea about the new rates. Can I add balance of #600 or just leave like that?
