About My Fresh Gists

My Fresh Gists publishes plain, step by step guides for the everyday tech problems that stop you watching TV or getting online. That means DStv, GOtv and StarTimes decoders, satellite dishes and antennas, DISH and DirecTV, streaming apps, and home and business internet.

Who Runs the Site

My Fresh Gists is run by Valentine, a software developer, blogger and social media manager who has been writing practical TV and tech guides here since 2018.

Valentine specialises in the subjects this site covers most: pay TV decoders such as DStv, GOtv and StarTimes, satellite dishes and antennas, streaming services, and home and business internet. Years of working with software and digital platforms shape how each guide is written: find the real cause, explain it simply, and give fixes that work.

How We Write Our Guides

  • We check facts against official sources, such as provider websites, user guides and support pages, before publishing.
  • We update older guides when menus, prices or procedures change, and remove content that is no longer useful.
  • We write for real problems. Each guide starts with the quickest fix, then works through the rest in order.
  • We stay independent. We are not part of any TV or internet provider, and we tell you plainly when something cannot be done.
