Before you get started with this process, you must make sure that your DSTV decoder is in power to receive any command that will be sent to it immediately.

• Now you will be prompted to enter the SmartCard number and select the type of error that you want to fix. Please note that you will be also prompted to enter a captcha text to confirm that you are human. Please complete the fields as required and then hit on the “Fix error” button.

That way, all the channels that were still scrambled after making payment will be restored to your decoder.

The second step is fixing the error through SMS. This one does not require any internet connection on your phone for it to work.

The SMS method is also considered as one of the quickest methods for resetting your DSTV decoder after payment.

After making payment and still have some channels missing or scrambled, simply send an SMS with the word RESET followed by your SmartCard number to 30333 (DSTV Nigeria short code).

This SMS command sends a request to reset your decoder to the DSTV office in Nigeria and you will also get a reply that the re-authentication process is in process.
