GOTV is one of the foremost PAY TV service providers in Nigeria. GOTV offers a terrestrial digital television service to its subscribers. What this means is that, subscribers can get access to GOTV channels without installing a Satellite dish. The terrestrial digital service make use of masts instead of dishes to transmitter their services and only people who are in a location where there is GOTV transmitter coverage can access their television service.

Apart from Nigeria, GoTV services are also available in other African countries like Zambia, Uganda, Ghana, Malawi, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Kenya.

Right now, the transmission coverage is in major cities in Nigeria such as Lagos, Ibadan, Owerri, Benin, Port-Harcourt, and Abeokuta.

If you are located in an area that is within the GOTV transmission coverage, all you need to stand receiving their services is your decoder, and payment for your monthly subscription.
