Introducing GOtv Nigeria - UPDATED 11.06.2012

So what’s Gotv?

Well some of you might have heard of it and others probably already have it, we are here to clear the fog. GOtv is Multichoices reply to its competitors who offer low costing digital video broadcasting services. GOtv is Multichoices latest franchise, like DSTV Mobile and your standard DSTV. Like your standard DStv dish and decoder, GOtv has its own model of decoders and receivers offering the same quality of reception you’d expect from DStv and DStv Mobile, using terrestrial digital video broadcast (DVB-T).

The Good

The first noticeable difference that GOtv has over DStv is that it costs only a fraction of what you would pay for the standard DStv. Today a new basic Dstv decoder, dish, set-up, activation and 1 month subscription will cost you about Twenty-Seven Thousand Naira (N27,000) but a new GOtv decoder, aerial, set-up, activation and 3 month free subscription will only cost you between (N8,000) Eight Thousand Naira and (N9,500) Nine Thousand Five Hundred Naira. It’s also easy to setup and very portable. 

The Bad

But it's not all sugar and glitter, GOtv offers only a small fraction of the channels offered on DStv. Also a majority of its channels are African based, but if you’re the kind of person who prefers local content this won’t be that much of a problem. GOtv only has a limited range of operation and depending on your location you many need to upgrade from your basic antenna to a larger grid antenna. 

GOtv is already available in Ibadan and Port Harcourt, and will be coming to Lagos in Late June.  For more information about GOtv and a list of current available channels Click Here!

How to Use the Drifta 2 (Wi-Fi) on a Wi-Fi Only Android Tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 7", 8.9" and 10.1")

In this article I’ll be giving you a step-by-step guide on how properly set up your DStv Mobile Drifta on a Wi-Fi only android tablet, so let get started!

Understanding and Troubleshooting the Decoder App

Whenever you launch the DStv mobile decoder application on any android device it always goes through an authorisation process, in which the App sends “a small authentication request to the DStv Mobile servers”. Truth-be-told, this is usually where all the problems start.

As a precautionary measure,

• you should always make sure you tablet is connected to a Wi-Fi connection with internet capabilities before you launch the application, without an active internet connection at the application initiation the authentication process will fail.

• you should also assure that you tablet is not accidentally connected to your Drifta instead of a Wi-Fi connection with internet capabilities, your Drifta is not connected to the internet so if your device is connected to the Drifta the authentication process will also fail.

Tablet –Drifta Connection Walkthrough 

1. Connect to the internet with your tablets Wi-Fi connection, your Drifta should be preferably off at this point to reduce the risk of confusion. 
2. Launch the Decoder App, the application should authenticate and will fail to connect to the Drifta. 
3. Power on the Drifta, and wait for about 3 minutes then tap the rescan button, the Drifta will be found with the name “DStv0*****”. 
4. Select your Drifta and tap continue the application will connect to the Drifta and you will soon be able to view, your channels. Nothing to it!

PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE THE DRIFTA IS CONNECTED TO THE TABLET VIA WI-FI YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BROWSE THE WEB AND CONNECTING TO WI-FI HOTSPOT WILL TERMINATE THE TABLET DRIFT CONNECTION.

Swindler Game Review

Swindler Review Swindler is just one of many games made by Nitrome Limited. Nitrome is a games studio that makes pixel flash games, like this one!

In this browser based web game, you play as a masked green blob with curious elastic properties. You character is suspended from an elastic cord (which is part of you by the way) in which you shimmying up and down as you tilt the world around you - wrapping your twine around buttons, avoiding obstacles, dodging enemies, lifting boulders and placing bombs. It’s pretty straight forward and fun with a soothing soundtrack.

Its gameplay shares some similarities with the Xbox Live Arcade game, Fez. In which you manipulate the 16-bit 2D side-scroller world with amazing 3D effects to reveal hidden paths, something worth checking out if you into that retro style.
