GOtv + Antenna + GOValue - BlackGotv
is a pay TV service offered in Africa. Unlike the
other pay TV service which is based,
Gotv is terrestrial digital TV service. So, no need for dish and
ceremonial installation, leading to reduced access cost. Gotv is
currently available in select cities in Nigeria, Zambia, Uganda, Ghana,
Malawi, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Kenya.
Digital TV with no dish required
GOtv
utilises the latest Digital Terrestrial Broadcast Technology, DVB-T2.
The broadcast method is similar to that used by the likes of NTA and
AIT, but is digital with better quality audio and video. Perhaps the
closest service to Gotv is Startimes, a digital pay TV service based on
DVB-T.
Gotv Coverage
Gotv is a digital terrestrial TV service,
not TV. So, the service is deployed through TV masts and accessible
only in locations with GOtv transmitter coverage. Currently GOtv is
available in the following cities in Nigeria and in some cases their
environs: Lagos, Enugu, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Benin City Owerri, Akwa Ibom,
and Port Harcourt.
The major advantage of the GOtv setup is that no
dish is required leading to low/zero installation cost. It is plug n
play, so you can install it yourself. Any TV antenna can be used for
receiving the GOtv signals
Gotv Prices
The decoder comes with an outdoor antenna (a.k.a GOtenna), which offers better reception with better quality video and audio.
No dish, means that GOtv is not affected by weather easily as the case with pay TV services
