GoTV Nigeria is a pay TV platform in Nigeria. It is owned by Multichoice Nigeria, the makers of DSTV, another popular pay TV platform.
You may be wondering what the difference between DSTV and GOTv is since they are both pay TV platforms owned by the same company.
Well, the difference between DSTV and GOTv is the technology used in transmitting their TV signals. DSTV deploys a satellite based technology while GoTV uses the DVB-T2 technology, a novel digital terrestrial broadcast technology.
GoTv is currently available in many countries across Africa which includes Zambia where it’s referred to as GoTv Zambia. Also, there’s GoTv Uganda, GoTv Ghana, GoTv Malawi, GoTv Namibia, GoTv Zimbabwe, and GoTv Kenya.
The strategy behind GoTV in Nigeria has made it a very popular and successful pay TV in the country.
Particularly GoTV is extremely pocket-friendly and has become highly sought after among low and middle income earners. Unlike DSTV, GoTv offers many exciting local and international channels for less.
Currently, GoTv Nigeria is the fastest growing pay TV in the country and many of the online conversations on pay TV in Nigeria often revolve around this platform.
In this post, we’ve decided to provide as much information as possible on GoTV Nigeria. These include the available packages, the decoders as well as their prices.
And we start with one of the most common questions people ask
Where can I buy GoTV?

Other options include the GoTv shortcode which is 4688 and the GoTv Nigeria USSD which is *288*1#
How much does a GoTV decoder cost and how do I set up my GoTV?

Hello, Pls I have been using GOTV for four months now and I do subscribe for the 1800 package but the stations I get are not complete. I don’t get stations like channels, zee world, Blizt, supersport, telemundo,etc. The stations I get is for the 1200 package.
after I scanned my gotv, I lost all 54 channels, having just 10 channels remaining. why is that?
we all had to miss our favourite programme and that’s discouraging! what’s going on?
I bought my decoder from an authorized dealer in Alaba International market, but I didn’t see any internal antenna with it, though I also bought gotenna that same day. Why didn’t they include the internal antenna in mine? Also, what is the RF OUT port on the decoder used for?
Pls is gotv in ekpoma?…address pls!!
My favourite channel, etv africa,is no longer on the list of gotv plus channels, why?
Pls is it possible for me to port/move from Dstv to gotv cos paying for Dstv is a total waste of money for me.
Yes you can move but you cannot use your DSTV decoder to receive GOtv stations, so you would have to purchase the GOtv package
Good Morning Vic,
Please help out, My dad GoTv is not showing Zee world and Telemodo, I have done Advance setting to Reset yet it is not there. Please what do I ?do
Pls can i use a gotv decoder with only the internal antenna & still av a sharp signal
Yes you can, it all depends on how close the transmitter is to your location.
Although it cannot be as effective as an external antenna. I know a lot of people that still use the internal antenna till date.

Hi Kingsley,
Gotv plus is now N1800 as written in the post.
Now you have an issue with balancing N300.
This has been an issue with gotv for a while as most payment portals are yet to reflect the new subscription price.
You need to go to the nearest gotv customer support office to rectify it.
Am Emmy please my Gotv suddenly stop getting all station, have rotate the antenna but it stop scanning at 24 station… what should i do???????¿?
I just subscibe through my diamond bank on line and yet it is not showing till now.pls what is the next option because am not happy now.
Hello Kingsley, turn on your decoder and send the Text “RA IUC number” to 30333
Eg. RA 1234567890 to 30333
Ebonyi state is not in the list of states that are receiving Gotv signals but as I went to Afikpo today, I saw Gotv decoder in many shops. When I asked them, they assured me that the signal is here. Should I go ahead and buy?

Sir Vic, thank you so much for answering the questions patiently, God bless you sir. Please, Ebonyi state is not on the listed states for gotv, but a friend of mine got it and it’s working pretty well. I wanna get it too, so I wanna know if it’ll work for me too, since it’s same state though different locations. thanks in anticipation
Hello Laura,
Note that signal strength will vary depending on your proximity to the transmitter. Either theres now a transmitter in Ebonyi or there’s one closeby in the neighboring states which i cannot verify.
However If your friend is picking up the signal with an internal antenna, I believe you should be able to pick the signal with an external antenna from your location.

What can I do to rectify this and get back all my channels back. Thank you. (Amanda from Abuja).
The envelope icon means you have a message from gotv. That is the way they send messages to subscribers. You can read the message by checking your decoder manual for directions.
how do I switch from gotv plus to gotv standard?
At the point of payment for your next subscription you get to select the bouquet you want.

Please what will I do if after I recharged my gotv online with quick teller and it was successful but still I can’t view any channel, I recharged #1,500 gotvplus on Saturday 18th March while it should expire on Sunday 19th March.
Kindly visit the nearest gotv office. The subscription fee has increased but most payment platform still show the old subscription price hence the discrepancies.
For now its advisable to pay at their office until the issue has been resolved on the various payment portals.
i made a payment of N1500 gotv plus which was the option shown to me on quickteller app via my mobile phone>i discovered that the transaction was successful and my account was credited with the value. However i couldnt view the gotv channels because i discovered i needed to do a top of N300 due to the upgrade> so my question is how do i top up the amount via the quickteller medium because that option to top up any value aint there. Please assist,IUC 2021947077
For issues like this its best you resolve it at gotv’s office.

I will appreciate if my subscription of Gotv standard bouquet will be activated to my IUC number 2021851053 or steps to follows I need to watch one programme tomorrow by 10:30am.
Gotv plus has more stations than Gotv standard. So by default you should have more stations.
Except you mean you paid for gotv plus and they activated gotv standard.
Kindly clarify.
I just subscribe for standard bouquet online and it was successful but on my account is plus bouquet, please how can I get it view in my account 2021851053.
It might be an error. But do a rescan or reset
Tanks
I appreciate
I recharged my decoder online on the 9th of April and up till now it has not been activated. My iuc number is 2019462415 with reference number 999996461232.
I will appreciate if this anomaly is rectified as soon as possible
Pls,does d increasment in tarrif of Dstv affect Gotv?
Yes. Gotv is 1200 and 1800 for Gotv Standard and Gotv plus respectively.
It has been updated in the post.
Although we are yet to get a verdict as the case is presently in court to revert it back to the old amount.
Pls ow do I get to reset or rescan. Tanks
To Reset send an SMS in this format.
RESET IUC NUMBER as a message to 4688 for example RESET 2003029600 to 4688 (where 2003029600 is your IUC Number)
Pls use the phone number used in purchasingtyour gotv
Do a rescan 1st i believe this would solve the problem. If it does not then do a reset
THIS IS HOW TO RESCAN YOUR GOTV TO GET COMPLETE CHANNELS: On your remote, press MENU – ADVANCED OPTIONS – INSTALLATION – TUNING – AUTOMATIC SCAN.
Thats all
Please my gotv just started losing all the channels, I have less than 20 channels now and have tried the antenna thing but still same story, even channel 99 is no more there. 2022172780
rescan to get it complete if it doesn’t work? Then goto menu and press reset. Your channels will be back if your antenna is in the right direction.
I paid for the Gotv plus but only 24 channels are showing. Tanks

You need to contact GOtv customer support.
Find details here: https://nigerianfinder.com/gotv-customer-care-number-contact-details/
how much is gotv suscription for 2 months
My subscription has expired few days ago and only NTA is the free to air channel which seem to be the only one that shows. What’s wrong?
On the subscription panel their are 500 naira, 1000 naira, 1500 naira, 2500 naira. Please what’s the difference? And which sub is advisable
I just got my GOtv yesterday in Kano and I do inquired about there network in Dutse,Jigawa State…..which the distributors confidently told me that itz working perfectly but on getting to Dutse I connected it but I couldnt get a channel……..pls admin does Gotv really works in Dutse,Jigawa State
Gotv is for the masses. That is why it is so cheap. They can’t show you any life football match because you can’t afford it. Am sure that they can give us a more expensive bouquet that will give us all super sport channels. They are afraid they can’t make profit from it because their customers are mostly the low income people
Helo, please is there anything that can be done to watch live matches?
Excuse me pls… I subscribed gotv last week… til date some channels are missing… Amc, blackbelt, banda, about six channels… iv tried resting and rescanning but still not available… and d antenal signal is 100 percent… also if I hav to contact customer care colud you give the number other than that landline cus all that 1 does is tel u to hold till your credit finish… also whats d cause nd solution of the provlem of mussing channels. thank you

GoTV Plus has extra stations. Check the post
pls wat is d short sms code for recharging my gotv.i heard if i have abt #1500 in my fone ,i can recharge it directly wit dem takin d money cause i dnt have d time to go to there office and i can rechagre for my younger ones
simply send text message, RC space GOTV space IUC NUMBER space PIN and send to 30333.
For instance, RC GOTV 2010000000 884512541545 and send to 30333
You need to buy your scratch card from trusted GoTV dealers, retailers or sellers.
The Scratch card contains the PIN you would require to Recharge your GoTV with the code i gave to you.
You cannot use MTN, GLO, Etisalat Or Airtel Airtime/Recharge cards to do that.

Then you should contact got customer care. Probably they activated the wrong plan.
As far as am concern, GOTV is a useless thing to purchase. I bete use Q sat and hack DSTV channels than using GOTV
Its all a matter of preference my brother
Pls mr vic, i jst subscribed my gotv wit 1500 to find out dat blackbelt tv is missin and it was dere earlier. Pls is dis a general problem? If no wot can i do. Tanx in anticipation
Blackbelt tv is still available on gotv. Try to reposition your antenna n restart ur decoder. If u are using external antenna ppint it towards the east and restart decoder.

There is still Telemundo, you decoder probably didn’t scan the station while starting up.
Reposition your antenna to a and restart the decoder, it should pick the missing stations.
🙂

Just a few EPL matches are shown, but if you really want to watch matches ill advice you get a DSTV
laliga, premier league, seria, bundesliga
Mr vic
Plz I don’t understand you plz explain better plz sir
Uefa and Laliga matches are not showed on gotv, only DSTV shows Uefa and laliga matches.
The number of stations on Gotv plus is 40 and they are listed in the post or you can check this link http://nigeria.gotvafrica.com/Whats-On/default.aspx#channels
Thank mr vic for u reply plz how many channels is on Gotv plus and how many is free to air. And which of the station show UEFA and laliga
Hello Seedorf, uefa and laliga are not aired on gotv.
As for the number of stations, it is listed on the post 40 channels.
laliga and UEFA matches are shown live.
1 premier league
1 seria A
1 la liga match
1 bundesliga
and dats every weekend.. on select stations
Pls I just subscribed and I noticed that Africa magic movies has been removed ,the channels re no longer complete
Hello Nonso, check if your antenna is pointing at the right direction and restart the decoder. If its an internal antenna try to place it close to your window.
It should fix it.
please Vic, can Go TV service be found in all the 36 state of Nigeria? I want to purchase one from Niger state to nasarawa state where I am schooling.
Hello Agbim, No it is not yet in all 36 states.
Find list of states/cities covered by gotv so you don’t buy it blinded.
Port Harcourt, Lagos, Enugu, Benin, Aba, Owerri, Kano, Kaduna, Onitsha, Asaba, Uyo, Abuja, Calabar, Osogbo, Ife, Ogbomoso, Akure, Oyo, Jos and Abeokuta.
Hi, i want to buy gotv what is d price
Vic
can one connect gotv without external help from ur distributors. can I do d connection myself.. and is N2,900 the generally recognised price?. thanks pls respond Vic.
Hello Sam, yes you can connect it yourself its very easy and yes the 2900 is the recognized price. It comes with an internal antenna.
It’s amazing that Longe Patrick hopes to watch ‘live football matches’ after paying N1000.
Last I checked, the recently acquired tv rights for the EPL cost Sky and BT Sports a total of £5.136 billion for only three seasons.
It can only be imagined how returns on investment can be made if they show the matches to you for N1000.
@Bernard. Can’t blame Patrick, he wants maximum return on investment 😉
Hi Vic, I want to know if European football matches are shown (live or delayed) on GoTv, and if so, on what chnnels?
Sir,3days ago I receive a text DAT my Gotv will spire on 10th but it stop working DAT 3days ago,I even subscribe 2day and got SMS DAT my transaction was successful but is still not showing.pls wot could be d cause
Hello Johnpaul, if you have made payment and viewing is not yet restored, put on your decoder and send the Text “RA IUC number” to 30330.
Example: RA 12345678910 to 30330
It would be restored. And if its not then contact customer support.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the info.
I read somewhere in this article something that says “GoTv starter pack which comprises of antenna & one month subscription goes forN2,900.00”
This claim is false in all ramification, because igot my GoTv starter pack for N4,500.00 despite the fact that I bought it from a dstv office at Apapa.
I was made to understand when i first protested about the N4,500.00 price at their office. that the antenna cost differently, that its only the decoder that is N2,900.00.
So why will they keep deceiving unsuspecting customers with price.
This is very wrong and unacceptable!.
Taiwo
Hello Taiwo, the GoTv starter pack has an internal antenna.
It was not stated that the price includes an external antenna.
So Vic, are you now implying that the external antenna alone is about NGN2, 500, just asking? I think prospecting customers should know exactly what to expect. It gives us more overall confidence in the company.
Hello Bryan, actually the official price of gotv external antenna is N1,600.
But I’ve heard about some people usin other antennas like binatone and its likes. Im yet to verify that myself but if u do hv one you can give it a shot. Just make sure you point it to the east. That is where the sun rises from.
so Vic,can one be able to use startimes external anternal to gotv decoder?and Benue State,Gboko in particular do have gotv signal available or not? thanks.
Pls let me be having daily sportselect1&2 schdule of programmes sent through my email and get me details on how to recharge Gotv
Hello dankwa, you can get the schedule on this link http://supersport-guide.dstv.com/guide
To Recharge your GOtv kindly read through this post: https://nigerianfinder.com/gotv-self-service-all-you-need-to-know-about-it/

i got gotv last week. i installed it on my own on saturday last week and it showed after i installed the external antennae( i did not find the internal antennae in my pack)but since sunday morning, i havent been able to view any channels at all. it keeps writing scanning for channels on the screen.
im at loss at what to do.
Hello IJ, are you sure you pointed the external antenna to the right direction?
Just to b sure they are usually pointed towards the east. That is, where the sun rises from.
Double check that n put on the decoder.
pls are you saying gotv can’t show live matches? and why is it that my decoder has no smart card then where can i get #1000 card for my decoder
Sometimes they do show live matches on supersport select but its only when there are 4 or more matches being played at the same time and trust me its the least important match they would show like the QPR and Burnley matches.
please sir why is it that gotv has no free to air channels and why is it that if I load #1000 card gotv don’t show live football matches
I believe they want you to purchase DSTV if you want to view live football matches. 😉
Pls i recharged gotv subscription but its still not capturedy IUC is 2022240177
Put on your decoder and send the Text “RA IUC number” to 30333.
Example: RA 12345678910 to 30333

Hi Vic
I moved house and while trying to install my gotv it shows first time installation and sends me to automatic scanning. And I can’t get passed this place. My antenna stregth is between 27% and 29% and 41-43% locked. What do I do. It also says no channels found. It s days since I paid N1800.
Are you using an external antenna? If you are, point the antenna towards d east where the sun rises from and scan again.
Pls I just did my GOTV subscription 2dy and is stil nt showin til now. Iuc 2022017763
