StarTimes Nigeria is one of the popular cable TV providers in Nigeria. This service is a subsidiary of a Chinese-based company called Startimes Media, which boasts of being the first to offer Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) Network Services in the country. Check out our StarTimes customer service contact article.

StarTimes was established in China in 1988 and is currently in operation in eight African Countries: Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, Guinea, and the Central African Republic.

The Startimes Nigeria TV Network is an almost one-decade-old collaboration between the first TV station in Nigeria, the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), and the Chinese company that owns StarTimes.

The StarTimes service was introduced into the Nigerian entertainment market in 2010.

Startimes also claims to be the first digital TV to introduce to the African Market a DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcast on Terrestrial) technology that is easy to use, as it does not require any satellite dish installation to deploy its services.

Unlike other paid TV services in Nigeria and Africa, StarTimes has a simple-to-install antenna and decoders that require no dish Installation.

Also, with Startime’s low tariffs, the platform has brought affordable digital TV within the means of the average Nigerian.

As of 2010, paid cable TV platforms were faced with rapidly rising costs and competition in the midst of deteriorating economic trends.

The players in this industry had to constantly re-strategize to ensure continued profitability and survival.

However, despite tough competition, StarTimes still claims to be the king of the cable TV market in its DTT category, insisting that it has become the fastest-growing digital pay-TV platform in Africa.

Through its new and innovative Direct-to-home (DTH) package known as Dish TV, StarTimes suggests that it is gaining massive ground among subscribers and finding its way into almost every heart and the homes of thousands of Nigerians with the innovative and rich content it provides. Not to forget that it is also affordable.

StarTimes has also begun to gain nationwide coverage as areas including Delta, Lagos, Kaduna, Abuja, Aba, Kano, Benin, Enugu, Ilorin, Jos, Benue, Anambra, Port Harcourt, Sokoto, Uyo, Adamawa, and Oyo can now access StarTime services.

This cable company intends to expand even wider. It has dealers in all the cities where it operates and hopes to cover more cities in a short period of time.

StarTimes Decoders

A complete StarTimes decoder package usually includes one StarTimes remote control, a 10m long outdoor antenna that can easily be hung, and a free 30-day Nova StarTimes package for your enjoyment.

If the StarTimes signal in your vicinity is not strong, you will need to get an outdoor antenna (sold separately) to get better reception.

The outdoor antenna is quite affordable; it can be purchased separately for as low as 1,900 Naira, and the StarTimes branded satellite receiver costs only 4,000 Naira.

It is also true that the prices of decoders and its accessories fluctuate and change with time, you can always get accurate information on current prices online from the StarTimes website. Below are the current decoder prices;

  6. Good morning, my decoder number is 01831384876,on smart plan and use both disch and aerial .I had brbe watching Europa cup on my plan before.in the month of August,2020 was unable to watch again.
    Kindly assist me to resolve this issues and let me know the plan to switch to watch both Europa,ligs and fa cup

  7. Good morning everyone! I wonder why Dove tv is not included in the Nova bouquet. Can we say , it’s market strategy or what?

  8. Good day, My ST rise and Discovery channels has disappeared from my list after I renew my plan (I.e classic) I don?t know what happened, because I used d same bouquet plan, please I need help.

  9. For more than 3 years now i have been subscribing to N2000 1 month smart bouquet successfully, but the last August subscription ended just in two weeks. Can someone please explain reasons for this.

  10. How can someone leave a comment when you guys don’t even respond to any question its better not to waste time here leaving you guys are not serious is it every body that’s in Facebook

  11. Good evening I did #900 subscription on Wednesday evening 5:55pm this afternoon I received messages that my subscription has expired please I need more explanation on that thanks

  12. Startimes cheated me twice on monthly subscription, I subscribed for one month, it lasted only 4 days, second I subscribed for one month it last 2weeks, this is robbery, now I’m scared to subscribe

  13. I paid ?6,000 over 10 days ago but my subscription is yet to be activated. I complained via your Facebook page and I supplier my smart card number with evidence of my payment and the onscreen message being displayed to no avail. I complained via your Twitter handle supplying same information also to no avail. I paid my subscription because I am an Arsenal supporter and will love to watch Arsenal on Europa League. So far I missed two of Arsenal’s Europa League matches and the damages i suffered is unquantifiable. As a legal practitioner, i am contemplating taking legal action to press home my displeasure with your services. I am using external antenna and my signal strength is above 50% always. I wonder it with this shabby treatment or customers you back home anywhere close to competing with the DSTV which I have been using satisfactorily for over 15 years. I bought my startime more than five years ago out of patriotism. But my disappointment knows no bounds honestly!
