First time poor me's seen this statement used casually with the right wording and to mean just what it is!
Big ups Pozehnani �

DSTv has no 1080p (FHD) channel...there best is 720p

You're very right, thanks for the correction.

Please despite this being an old thread, I know someone's still gonna bump into it later...

If you're in for HD or anything close, STAY AWAY FROM GOTV!
and if you ever think the crap GOtv displays is anything HD, you have absolutely no clue on what HD or display resolution is. To think and claim that merely because the decoder has an HDMI port/output and therefore must be HD, is ridiculous!
Even on DSTV not all channels are HD, and regardless of what your TV or connection is, you get no HD for such channels.
Was seriously disappointed at the quality GOtv has in contrast to what people claim it is. GOtv is hardly 240p at best (somewhere around 140-240p - my assumption from experience).
There's 360p, 480p, then 720p (HD) and 1080p (FHD), and so forth.
And for anyone who has a 4k, 2k (UHD) TV, while DStv channels would look (very) good on your tv, 1080p (FHD) is what DStv offers at best. You may need those FTA decoders and big dishes to get anything higher.

PS: The GOtv decoder I got is the very latest from Multichoice, from their official office and of course has (only) an HDMI output.
I opened a NL account just to put this clarity right here so we could end the misleading trash circulated around.

Edit/Correction: DStv please is HD (720p) and not FHD (1080p) - thanks to daddy001.
