Common GOtv Error Codes and Their Causes
Error Code E16
The error Code E16 is one of the most common issues encountered by GOtv subscribers. It usually indicates that your subscription has expired or is yet to be activated.
This can happen when you have not paid your subscription fees on time or if there was a delay in the activation process.
If you have paid for a subscription and it’s yet to be activated you can wipe the error code by using the MyGOtv app, contact GOtv customer care, or use other means such as the web services, SMS, or USSD code.
Error Code E30
Error Code E30 signifies that the channel you are trying to access is scrambled or unavailable.
It could be due to signal issues, bad weather conditions, or a technical problem on GOtv’s end.
Give it some time it will restore back, or you can use other means to wipe the error code if it takes too much time.
Error Code E48
Error Code E48 usually points to a signal problem. It could be caused by improper antenna alignment, bad weather affecting the signal, or issues with the decoder itself.
Check the strength and quality of your antenna, to know the exact cause of this problem.
Error Code E017
Error Code E017 is linked to a payment issue. It suggests that your account has been suspended due to non-payment.
This can be resolved by ensuring your subscription is up-to-date.
Error Code E38
If you see Error Code E38, it means that your smart card is not correctly paired with your decoder.
This can occur if the smart card is inserted the wrong way or if there is a technical issue.
Simply check your smart card if your decoder uses a smart card.
Error Code E42
Error Code E42 appears when there is a problem with the parental control settings.
If you have forgotten your PIN or accidentally activated parental controls, you will definitely have to reset the PIN to resolve this error.
Error Code E48-32
This version of Error Code E48-32 indicates a complete loss of signal. This could be due to severe weather conditions or a disconnected cable.
However, the “-32” extension suggests a more specific signal issue that requires further troubleshooting. An improperly aligned antenna can lead to signal issues.
