Are you a newbie asking for all the packages, channel list and prices available on StarTimes, then this article is for you. StarTimes Nigeria is a Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) Network service. It is an offshoot of Startimes Media, a Chinese company that has spread its tentacles to West Africa. The service was introduced to Nigeria by NTA Star TV Network Limited in 2010.
The StarTimes service makes use of the DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcast on Terrestrial) technology. As such, it doesn’t need the installation of a dish like DStv and Gotv for subscribers to enjoy its services. Currently, StarTimes has upgraded its technology to DVB-T2.
StarTimes Packages and Prices in Nigeria: StarTimes is the major competition for DSTV and GOtv in Nigeria.

While StarTimes Nigeria offers very affordable packages, not many Nigerians have subscribed to their services. This is probably because of inaccessibility to certain channels that are available on DStv and Gotv. Some of the programs that you will not access on StarTimes include Premier League, Champions League, and La Liga. StarTimes is yet to gain the rights to show these programs. However, you will enjoy a lot of entertainment in form of music, movies, documentaries, etc. on StarTimes.
