About GOtv
GOtv is MultiChoice's digital terrestrial television platform, sold on price rather than breadth and described by the group as bringing affordable entertainment to customers across eight African countries. It exists because satellite dishes and premium packages price most African households out of pay-TV: GOtv reaches them over a terrestrial aerial with a smaller bouquet and a cheaper monthly fee than DStv.
