About GOtv

It offers subscribers both local and international channels and was launched by Details Nigeria in association with MultiChoice Nigeria to ensure that great affordable digital TV is accessible to everyone.

About DTT

DTT stands for Digital Terrestrial Television (or Transmission). It refers to the broadcasting of terrestrial television in a digital format. Currently, terrestrial broadcasting in most African countries is in an analogue format. Most countries are in the process of planning and implementing the migration from analogue to digital television.

Terrestrial television uses a network of transmission towers to relay the signal across the country. Each transmission tower has a specific area of coverage, and it is the network of coverage that provides television signals across the country. The broadcast signal is sent to the various towers and if you are within the area covered by a tower, then you will be able to receive the broadcast services via a terrestrial aerial (GOtenna), which is usually placed on your roof or on your television set (depending on how strong the signal that you are receiving is).
