Why you should rescan your Startimes decoder
Rescanning your StarTimes decoder will assist in recovering multiple channel frequencies at the same time.This is how it works; there are times when the broadcasters at the base station of Startimes would add, rename or change a channel in the Startimes network.
When this happens, there’ll be need for the user to rescan the decoder so that the changes made on the network will reflect on the decoder.
This usually doesn’t happen with the Gotv. This is because the Gotv decoder was designed to rescan each time it’s powered up. If you’ve used a Gotv decoder, you’d realise that it takes a longer for the Gotv to boot than for the Startimes decoder.
