In this article we’ll give you a complete rundown of all the StarTimes bouquets available, their price and list of channels. We’ll compare the differences between the unique packages they offer, like Nova, Basic, Classic, and Super bouquets, look at how much each costs per month, and explore the many channel options you get with each bundle.

Overview of StarTimes

StarTimes is a popular satellite TV service in Africa, offering affordable subscription packages with a wide range of channels. Originally from China, StarTimes launched in Africa in 2008 and has since gained over 13 million DVB subscribers and 27 million OTT users in 30+ countries.

StarTimes offers several packages at different price points so you can choose the one that suits your needs and budget. The company serves its consumers via antenna signal transmission (DTT) and satellite transmission (DTH). The packages for the two transmission modes differ slightly.

Understanding the Startimes Subscription Model

StarTimes operates on a subscription model, offering various packages at different price points so you can choose one that suits your needs and budget. Their packages are available as monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual subscriptions. Whether you just want the basics or an entertainment powerhouse, StarTimes has you covered.

Difference Between StarTimes Decorders

During a chat with Chinedu Lazarus Ibeabuchi, senior marketing communications and public relations (PR) manager at StarTimes Nigeria, he clarified the differences between StarTimes decoders. According to him, the antenna transmission functions similarly to digital terrestrial television (DTT), whereas the dish (satellite) transmission functions as a direct-to-home (DTT) system.

Price of StarTimes Decoders

• DTH Decoder: From N25,000 (with Dish and its accessories + 1 Month Super)
• DTH Decoder: From N20,000 (with Dish and its accessories + 1 Month Smart)
• DTT Decoder: From N16,600 (with Antenna + 1 Month Classic)
• DTT Decoder Only: From N14,000 (with 1 Month Classic)

In the end, it comes down to your budget, channel needs, and what options are available in your area. Satellite packages are best if you want the widest range of channels and sports options. Antenna packages can work great if you just want basic channels at the lowest cost. Evaluate both to find the right fit for your viewing interests and wallet.
