How to reset and activate GOTV Online

This is a tutorial on how to reset and activate GOTV online for the first time after getting the decoder and subscribing to a plan. According to an online survey, GOTV is the most used Cable TV in Nigeria. Nigerians love this Cable TV due to its cheap subscription plans starting from N400 to N3800 monthly. Now after making the payment for your desired plan, you have to reset and activate your GOTV decoder for it to start working.

Although most times the activation is done automatically from their end. But if after a few hours and your decoder isn’t showing the channels yet. Then you have to reset and activate it manually.

Gotv Activation Processes

1. How to reset GOTV Online

How to reset your GOTV manually after payment: With a mobile phone, send “Reset Your GOTV number” to 4688. You should receive a message after that for further details.

If after resetting your account, the channels are not backed up. Then you need to activate your GOTV account.

2. How to activate GOTV Online

How to activate your GOTV manually after payment: With a mobile phone, dial *423# on any network and request to speak to a customer representative.

If you see an “Error 16” on your TV screen after payment, without seeing any of the channels on the GOTV plan you subscribed for. Then move to number 3 below.

3. How to clear ‘Error 16

How to clear ‘error 16’ on GOTV after payment: With an internet-enabled device, visit the Eazy GOTV website (eazy.gotvafrica.com).

Log in with your GOTV number and surname. While logged in, click on the “clear your error” button on the GOTV site. You will see a “reset device now” button, make sure you are on the eazy.gotvafrica.com website then click on it.

This should automatically reset and activate your GOTV, as long as you have paid for a subscription successfully. However, if your GOTV is still acting up after all the processes listed above. Then you need to reach out to them via their GOTV social media pages.
