We all know the stress that is felt when after booting a Gotv decoder it still doesn't run a programme. Some might attribute this to a software problem by Gotv. That may be so sometimes but that is usually not so most atimes.

The steps below would help you activate a failed Gotv decoder with ease. But before that, there are steps you should take to assure yourself whether or not it is a serious shutdown:

• Connect Your Equipment Properly. The first step to activating your GOTV is to ensure that it is properly connected. The antenna port for receiving network, the VGA port for Television, and power port for receiving voltage should all be connected.
• Turn your GOTV decoder on and select the right channel such as 6, 9 or 12.
 


There may be issues about inavailability of channels which can be retified with ease: 

How to Scan for Channels on GOTV Decoder   

1. With your GOTV remote control directly at the decoder, click on the white last button to your left on your GOTV remote control.
2. Click on ADVANCED OPTIONS when different options come up on your TV screen.
3. Click on INSTALLATION
4. Click on AUTOMATIC SCAN, and as soon as the scanning commences don’t switch off your decoder or interrupt the scanning process.
5. Look for the complete numbers of channels which is 57; and while scanning look out for the “TV channels found” display.

If you found 57 channels while scanning that means your scanning was successful, but if not try to scan your decoder again.
6. As soon as you are through with scanning, click on the “exit” button on your remote.
