Startimes TV service

StarTimes is a digital terrestrial television network service that came from Startimes Media, a Chinese company with a strong presence in West Africa. It came into Nigeria in 2010 through NTA Star TV Network Limited and first used DVB-T technology before upgrading to DVB-T2.

It is one of the main competitors of DSTV and GOtv, so it often reviews its prices to remain strong in the Nigerian market.

Startimes offers daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual subscription packages, each with its own prices and benefits so customers can choose what fits their budget and viewing habits.
