GOtv + Antenna + GOMAX - BlackGotv is a pay TV service offered in Africa by Multichoice Africa. Unlike the other pay TV service from Multichoice Africa (DSTV), 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 like DSTV.
