Here is the updated Startimes Subscriptions price, Packages, and Channels. If that’s what you are looking for, then look no further, as I am prepared to show you the Startimes packages and their subscription prices below.
For those who are just seeing or hearing the name “Startimes” for the first time, they are a digital terrestrial cable TV provider in Nigeria. Startimes Media, a Chinese-based company, owns it.
Startimes, despite the ups and downs in the Nigerian economy, they remained strong and stable, offering Nigerians real value for their money since they started in 2010. Also, despite the market competition from the like of Gotv, Metro Digital, Mytv, and Trendtv, they are still standing tall.
However, before we start discussing Startimes Subscriptions, channels list, and prices, let me also remind you that Startimes has established its presence in many other African countries, such as:
Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya, Guinea, Central African Republic, Uganda, and Rwanda. If you are in one of the mentioned countries, then this post is for you, especially if you are looking for information on how to subscribe to your Startimes cable TV.
Startimes Decoders
While I am ready to share the Startimes Subscriptions 2024 and the channel list, I would also like to use this opportunity to explain certain things you need to know about Startimes Decoder machines. Startimes offer three different Decoders, namely:
- SD Startimes Decoder: the price is between N9,000 – N12,000
- HD Startimes Decoder, between 11,000 – N15,000
- Combo decoder you can get this one from N13,000 – N17,000
Both of the decoders work great, but it all depends on what you want. Take note that Startimes offers different package prices and channels for dish users and antenna users.
Now let me list all the Startimes packages, the channel list, and as well as the monthly subscription price but only for StarTimes dish users, not Antenna
