7 Hacks on How to Stream Like a Pro

Streaming is a bit like cooking jollof rice. Anyone can pour rice and stew into a pot, but not everyone gets that perfect taste. It’s the small things like adding the right seasoning, getting the heat just right, and knowing just when to stir that make the difference.
Same thing with using the GOtv Stream app. Watching shows is easy, but with a few simple tricks, you can enjoy it way better, no stress, no buffering, just good vibes.
Here are 7 easy hacks to help you stream like a pro.
Get to Know the GOtv Stream App
Before you start streaming, take time to explore what the GOtv Stream app offers. It’s more than just a place to watch TV; it’s your all-access pass to a wide variety of content, live shows, movies, dramas, kids’ cartoons, reality TV, and more. It’s like having a pocket-sized TV that follows you everywhere. You’ll find beloved titles across channels like Africa Magic, M-Net Movies, Nickelodeon, and E!, all curated to suit different moods and tastes.
Have a Stable Internet Connection
A strong internet connection is key to smooth streaming. Whether you’re at home or on the move, make sure your signal is solid to avoid freezing screens or laggy audio. If you’re using mobile data, stay in an area with good network coverage. For Wi-Fi, place your router where it’s unobstructed for better reach. This way, your shows, from reality TV to kids’ cartoons, play without interruptions, saving your data and your mood.
Set Up Profiles for Everyone
Your taste probably isn’t the same as your little sister’s or brother’s, and that’s perfectly fine. The GOtv Stream app lets you create up to six separate profiles. One for you to catch Tinsel on Africa Magic Showcase, another for your sibling who’s into Nigerian Idol, and maybe one for the kids to enjoy SpongeBob or The Smurfs on Nickelodeon in peace. Each profile gets personalised recommendations and its own watchlist, so no one has to fight over what to watch next.
Save Shows and Movies to My List
Sometimes you find a show and think you’ll watch it later, then forget the title. “My List” is where you save those finds. Whether it’s Indomie Love Bowl Game Show on Africa Magic Family, The Boss on Movie Room Africa, or a rerun of The Johnsons on Africa Magic Family, just add it to your list and return when you’re ready.
Download and Watch Anywhere
Life doesn’t always give you perfect streaming conditions. Sometimes you’re in a car, on a plane, or somewhere with no internet. That’s where the download feature becomes your best friend. With GOtv Stream, you can download shows and movies directly onto your device and watch them offline. It’s perfect for busy professionals on the move or parents looking to keep kids entertained during travel. Plan ahead, download your favourites, and take your entertainment with you; no signal required.
Stream on Multiple Devices
GOtv Stream lets you register up to four devices per subscription. That means your phone, your tablet, your partner’s device, and even one for the kids can all have the app installed and ready to go. So while you’re watching Nigerian Idol on your phone, someone else can enjoy The Bone Collector on M-Net Movies 3 on a tablet. Just remember, only one stream plays at a time, so plan your viewing accordingly.
Full Control Over Your Viewing
With the GOtv Stream app, you control how you watch. Missed the start of your show? Simply restart it. Want to take a break? Pause and come back when you’re ready. Saw a hilarious or emotional moment? Rewind and watch it again. You can even minimise the app and continue listening to the audio while you respond to messages or scroll through your feed. It’s all designed to work around your schedule, so you never miss a moment or a message.
At the end of the day, streaming should feel effortless. With the GOtv Stream app, it can. These simple hacks, from connecting to Wi-Fi to setting reminders, help you get the most out of your subscription. Less stress, more stories, and entertainment that fits your life, not the other way around.
To keep up with all these shows and more, renew your GOtv subscription or upgrade your package today via the MyGOtv App or dial *288#. And if you’re always on the move, catch your favourites anytime with the GOtv Stream App.

Emotions Run High: Sabrina’s Exit Shakes the House, Tracy Stays Queen of HOH

It’s been an emotional start to the week in the Big Brother Naija 10/10 house. Sabrina’s unexpected exit due to medical reasons left the housemates stunned and heavy-hearted. Her closest friend, Kola, couldn’t hold back the tears as they said their goodbyes, and the mood in the house instantly shifted.
In the middle of all that, the game still had to go on. Tracy made history this week by becoming only the second housemate this season to successfully defend her Head of House title; the first was Jason Jae in Week 1. Thelma couldn’t hold on to hers in week 2, but Tracy fought hard in the HOH Challenger against Dede, Joanna, Thelma, Kulture, and Ivatar, whom she selected to challenge her, and kept the crown, securing her spot away from possible eviction this Sunday.
Biggie also brought back the now-infamous red envelope hunt, and just like last week, no one found the immunity card. That means everyone was automatically up for possible eviction, except, of course, Tracy, who got to save one housemate using the Tree of Trinket. She chose her houseguest, Kuture.
Rooboy, on the other hand, earned his safety thanks to his win as Most Influential Housemate last week. So, with Tracy, Kuture, and Rooboy safe, the rest of the house is up for eviction.
It’s now in the fans’ hands, vote for your fave and keep them in the game. Voting is open on the Africa Magic website (web and mobile) with 100 votes per platform, and you can also vote via the MyDStv and MyGOtv apps. Just remember, voting closes Thursday at 10 pm WAT.
Catch all the drama on the Big Brother channel, GOtv channel 49, and DStv channel 198.

Amaarae Laments Struggle With Astigmatism, Could go Blind Anytime Soon

By Modupe Gbadeyanka
Popular female artist, Amaarae, whose real name is Ama Serwah Genfi, has lamented her struggle with astigmatism, declaring she could go blind anytime soon.
The Ghanaian music act revealed this when she had a chat with Spotify as she was named the platform’s EQUAL Africa artist for August 2025.
“I’m one step away from being legally blind! My vision is a -7 and I have astigmatism,” she revealed to the popular streaming platform.
However, the 31-year-old artist is not allowing this to deter her from pursuing her music career and ruling the landscape, noting, “I navigate the music world with balance, willpower, and strength.”
“The challenges are real, don’t get me wrong, but I put my blinders on, lock into tunnel vision, and get to work. And when I come across another woman on the journey, especially a Black woman, I do my best to share knowledge, create opportunities, and lighten the load where I can,” Amaarae stated.
Speaking on why she chose music, she said, “When I moved back home to Ghana in 2009, I was learning how to make beats and record myself at the back of the computer lab. Someone had installed a cracked version of FL.”
she listed her inspirations in the industry as Daddy Lumba, Terri Bonchaka, MzBel, Abrewa Nana, Obrafour’s legendary album Pae Mu Ka, Sarkodie, and Kwadwo Antwi, among others.
Speaking on why she chosen as Spotify’s EQUAL Africa artist for August, the Head of Music for Sub-Saharan Africa at Spotify, Ms Phiona Okumu, said, “Amaarae embodies the spirit of boundary-pushing creativity that EQUAL stands for.
“Her artistry is bold, distinct, and unapologetically authentic – qualities that continue to inspire a new generation of artists across the continent and beyond.”
Amaarae was raised in Ghana and the United States and has consistently pushed the boundaries of sound and identity, with her unique fusion of alternative, pop, R&B, and Afrobeats cementing her place as a singular voice in modern music.
Her musical journey took a turn in a computer lab in Ghana in 2009, where she taught herself to make beats on a cracked version of FL Studio. That moment sparked the fire for a career that would go on to produce game-changing projects like The Angel You Don’t Know and global hits such as SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY.
Amaarae’s inclusion on Spotify’s Global Impact List for the first half of the year, highlighting the most-exported Ghanaian songs, was no surprise. She has become a symbol of how African music is travelling further, faster, and louder than ever before.
With her latest album Black Star, she returns to her Ghanaian roots with bold energy, crafting what she calls a “rallying cry for youth culture around the world. This album is bringing the alternative community to the forefront, and being fearless about that.”

Binge, Catch Up, Stay Entertained: Everything You Can Do with the GOtv Stream App

The days of rushing home to catch your favourite show or setting reminders on your TV are behind us. Life doesn’t always align with our viewing schedules, and let’s be honest—who really has the time in today’s fast-paced world?
The GOtv Stream app offers a convenient way to enjoy your favourite shows and channels. Whether you’re on the go, multitasking, or looking to take control of your viewing time, this app provides the flexibility to watch content whenever and wherever you want. You can stream live channels, catch up on missed episodes, or even download shows for offline viewing. It’s designed to make entertainment adapt to your lifestyle, rather than the other way around.
Here is a breakdown of all the features available in the GOtv Stream app and tips on how to maximise its use.
Live TV on the Go
Gone are the days when you had to be glued to your TV at a specific time. With the GOtv Stream app, you can stream selected live channels from your GOtv package using Wi-Fi or mobile data. Whether you’re in bed, stuck in traffic, or out running errands, the app lets you stay connected to live TV wherever you are.
Catch Up So You Don’t Miss Out
We all miss shows. Sometimes it’s work, school runs, or just life getting in the way. That’s why the Catch Up section is such a win. It lets you watch selected episodes, movies, and sports highlights from the past few days whenever you’re ready. No FOMO here.
Download for Later
One of the handiest features is the ability to download up to 25 titles to watch offline. Perfect for trips or places with spotty internet. The downloads are valid for 30 days, and once you hit play, you have 48 hours to finish watching. It’s a nice way to stay entertained without burning through your data.
Personalised Profiles
Sharing your GOtv subscription with family or housemates? Everyone can now have their own profile, up to six in total, each with personalised recommendations, watch history, and a watchlist.
Note: Profiles work only on the app, not on your TV decoder.
Helpful Extras Like Guides & Reminders
Ever stumbled across a show halfway through and thought, “I wish I knew this was on”? The app comes with a TV guide and reminder function. You can also add shows to your ‘My List’ so you don’t forget them. And yes, trailers autoplay while you browse, so you can decide if a show is your vibe before committing.
The GOtv Stream app isn’t here to replace your TV; it’s here to make your viewing experience more flexible. Whether you want to stream live TV, catch up on something you missed, or just download a few episodes for the weekend, the app has you covered.
So, if you’ve got an active GOtv subscription and haven’t explored the app yet, now might be a good time to give it a proper look. You might be surprised how handy it actually is.
