GOtv

As a GOtv user, you may have come home to an error code displayed on your screen that interrupted your favourite shows. You no longer need to wait for a technician or visit a service centre to get it fixed. GOtv has several easy self-service options that can help you erase error codes and restore viewing within a few minutes.

Here’s how to identify the different error codes, their meanings and how to clear them with your phone.

Error Codes and their Meanings.

E16:  Appears when your subscription has expired. However, payment made while the decoder is off will not immediately clear the error. You would have to manually rescan and reset the error code to continue viewing.

E32: This error code indicates that the subscription has expired. You would need to upgrade to continue viewing. This error can be cleared without the need to rescan your decoder.

E138: This means that the particular channel you want is not available. This usually occurs when pop up channels go off air.

E48-32:  This error code informs you that there is something wrong with the cable box which affects the signal strength. It is usually affected by the network scrambling, windy or rainy weather or when the cable has been shifted from its original position.

If it is weather-related, please be patient, the error will disappear on its own. If the error persists after the weather has cleared up, you would need to follow these steps to clear the error.

  1. Ensure the cable is properly connected to the antenna.

  2. Press OK to see the signal strength.

  3. Scan or reset your decoder. (Click here) Go to menu click on Advanced in the next screen click installation.

  4. Finally click on Automatic Scan.  Keep scanning until the error is cleared.

E30: This happens when the decoder has been deactivated or if the E48-312 was not corrected.

To clear this error:

1. Ensure your subscription is updated.

2. Ensure the decoder is connected to the antenna.

3. Reset the GOtv decoder.

How to clear some of the error codes, use the following self-service methods

Method 1:USSD code

  1. Dial *288#

Big Brother Naija Season 10: Reality TV Fan Starter Pack

Published

on

Big Brother Naija Season 10

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. Big Brother Naija Season 10 is about to start, and we are not ready for the chaos that’s about to unfold. After 9 seasons of absolute madness, heartbreak, love triangles, and enough drama, Biggie is back with what promises to be the most explosive season yet.

Whether you’re a day-one fan who’s survived every twist, task, and gbas gbos, or you’re that person who swore never again but somehow always ends up fully invested, welcome back. This season is about to test your emotional limits in ways you didn’t know were possible.

But before you dive headfirst into this beautiful mess, you need to be prepared. Watching BBNaija without a plan is like showing up to JAMB without your pencil, a disaster waiting to happen.

So, here’s your ultimate fan survival guide to make sure you don’t just watch this season, you experience it.

DStv/GOtv Subscription: This is absolutely non-negotiable. Your primary gateway to all the live action, diary sessions, and those unmissable Saturday night parties. If you’re serious about BBNaija, don’t play yourself, renew your subscription now!

Your Ride-or-Die Community: Let’s be real, these housemates can be a lot. You’re going to need your people to vent to when someone does something unhinged. Whether it’s your WhatsApp group, Twitter mutuals, or that one friend who gets just as invested as you do, make sure your support system is ready.

Multiple Backup Options: Life happens, NEPA might disappoint you, the weather could mess with your signal, or you might be stuck at work during a major showdown. That’s where DStv/GOtv Stream and Showmax become your lifesavers; you’d never miss a second of the drama, no matter where you are.

Unlimited Data: This is also very important. You need enough data to stream when you’re on the go, engage in all the hot takes on social media, keep up with live updates and trending topics, share those perfect reaction memes and, most importantly, vote for your favourites.

Voting Power Pack: Get familiar with the voting platform now. Because when your fave is up for eviction, panic sets in fast. Set reminders, learn the ropes, and have your voting fingers ready. Their survival could depend on you.

Pain Relief Essentials: Stock up on paracetamol/Panadol because the drama and stress these housemates will put you through is real. Your head will thank you later when someone makes a particularly questionable decision.

So there you have it, your complete BBNaija Season 10 survival kit. The drama will be intense, the alliances unpredictable, and the gbas gbos? Unmatched. But with your starter pack locked and loaded, you’re ready to laugh, scream at your screen, and argue with strangers online like a true fan.

Mark your calendar, gather your crew, top up that data, and whatever you do, don’t miss the two-day premiere event on July 26th and 27th on Africa Magic Family (GOtv Ch. 7 / DStv Ch. 154) and Africa Magic Showcase (GOtv Ch. 8 / DStv Ch. 151).

This isn’t just another season. It’s Big Brother Naija Season 10, and it’s about to be legendary.
