GOtv Kenya offers a number of great TV channels ranging from lifestyle, Documentary, Kids to Series; you only need to have a Gotv decoder to receive the flourished channels. In order to continue enjoying GOtv Kenya channels, you’ll also be required to subscribe to a monthly plan on any of its bouquets that range from as low as Kshs.215 on the base Gotv Lite to Ksh. 980 on the Gotv Max package.
While the Pay TV service is affiliated to Dstv, customers won’t get the same treat as those who are on Dstv. But it has enough offering to excite at least most us who don’t do sports.
Gotv service was born from the partnership between Multichoice Kenya and Kenya’s state owned broadcaster KBC and operates on Digital Terrestrial Transmission platform that guarantees clear channel reception with additional functionality contrary to old analogue platform.
There’s a total of 4 bouquets on the Gotv platform that customers can subscribe to. Depending on your needs, you could choose amongst the most premium Gotv Max package, Gotv Plus, Gotv Value or the most affordable Gotv Lite package.

This deal looks gud i only wish u had fox n mtv base. Anyway i gues its stil better than smat-tv. The only shida is getting rid of the one i already hav which i feel is a rip off. I wish goTV could offer terestrial decoder exchange 4 free This deal looks gud i only wish u had fox n mtv base. Anyway i gues its stil better than smat-tv. The only shida is getting rid of the one i already hav which i feel is a rip off. I wish goTV could offer terestrial decoder exchange 4 free
deal is NOT good Freddo, have you looked at the one they have offered for Ug? this one for kenya is fake. put out something good even if it cost more. The guys who did marketing for ug are far better. check it on gotv website, choose ug and see how good the package is. don’t waste yo money.
this is a raw deal
Does gotv have EPG, 5.1 sound output & HD capabilities? dstv guys can be so mean sometimes like when they dont air any live champs/prem lge match on SS-select or blitz despite many games airing at once. FYI Most Futbal lovers cum 4rm eastlands and aren’t that well off, so if gotv could give us at least SS10 & SS9 we wil appreciate. And also throw in some entetainment chanels like fox or universal and mtv base. Even if u charge btwn sh1000 -sh1200 p.m its alright coz this is better than smart tv.Does gotv have EPG, 5.1 sound output & HD capabilities? dstv guys can be so mean sometimes like when they dont air any live champs/prem lge match on SS-select or blitz despite many games airing at once.

Does the GoTv decoder have an HDMI interface which i can use with my HD Tv?Does the GoTv decoder have an HDMI interface which i can use with my HD Tv?
Does GOTV offer English Premier League games live or the European championship.
Most of us are football lovers. A bouquet that encompasses this will be quite welcome even if it comes at a slightly high cost. Recheck the Ugandan deal and please give us something substantive.
what do yu mean uganda is better? its only bbc and zone reality that they have and we dont. so really i dont see anything wrong with this offer coz by far its cooler than even dstv’s access on sattelite and ten times better that “WAKORA TV” imagine low price, world class TVstations and EPG. the guy above simply hasn’t done proper research. for its price and quality its worthy
sasa lini itakuja mombasa
Kiss TV (KE) is it included in the package its a free to air channel
@Freddo, i thinnk you are talking about Gotv normal for uganda. I am talking about Gotv plus, mtvbase, wild, bcc, aljeez, zone reality, CNN. anyone who understands paytV knows that dstv acess, smart tv and Gotv kenya is nothing tocelebrate about. a bunch of free to air channels you can get for free. If you just started watching paytv in life then you can celebrate them but for those us who have been around for time will tell you there is nothing to be excited about cheap things are always expensive.
Freddo said-True the UG ofa is beta than ours. My bad i hadn’t seen all the ug chanels but now i i’ve seen ’em . But i think ug are paying slightly more per subscription than kenya. I think 4 Kenya its just the intro package and soon gotv will bring more boupuets with better entertainment of course at much higher prices. Bottom line-am willing to pay them 3k p.m if gotv could air 90% futbol, alot of documentaries, series n reality instead of 2much afrocinema, local and church stuf.
If you cab pay 3K P.M, I would advise you get triple play by zuku. dstv will never give EPL for that much. Can you imagine people in south africa on compact get supersport 3 and they pay less than what kenyans pay? As long as dstv has no competition with football no one should be dreaming of lower prices for futball for the next 3yrs. Why i say you get zuku triple play, you will get news, music, documentaries, you will download all the new moives and series besides even dstv movies and series are old and lastly did you know you can watch stream all the live football you want? there are so many sites, tvs online where you can watch all and get tired of it. Frome what i hear, zuku internet speeds are good which means you should be able to watch without the video cutting out. So, for 3K you could have it all and if you have a new sony internet TV then you are good to go…hehe
for those who have already purchased GOtv,do you recommend it?compared to smart TV and DSTV?
You cant compair Gotv ans smart. The audio of smart Tv is bogas. The good thing is that Gotv and Dstv have links so nice
which one iz e best btwn go tv n zuku
which one z best go tv or zuku?
i do recommend it, i don’t need to have it to recommend it to you cause It’s just obvious and anyone who has smart tv just know it can’t be compared to the other supplies. Right now the cheapest deal you have is Gotv….go for it though it could have been a lot better.
Ooh come on! This is the easiest way to fleece people of their money. Count how many channels you are paying for that are free. Count how many of the remaining ones can you actually watch. Kenyans; we just like fancy things, the thing that your neighbour does’t have you go ahead and think it’s cool. 600 bob doesn’t look much to you wannabees but think about it…how long before you get bored of paying it and go back to the same old analog stations u were watching before
I just wanna kno from guys who have experienced gotv, is it everything they say it is-yaani no cons? Are all local stations free and does it hav kissTV? Pls advice
geez!!! what do you mean you want to know from those who have it? have you had a decoder before? its self explanatory the list of channels they have listed tells you what the offer is. i agree with the comment above you its waste of money and kenyans love to waste it thats why the offer is bogus yet they will make money off the ignorant ones.
i cant even contemplate subscribing.
what for?
without BBC,CNN,NATGEO,DISCOVERY,SONY.
yet ugandans have all this what is wrong with these channels being introduced in Kenya. I thought Kenya was the best country in East Africa unless I was misled.
Why dont gotv charge 1200 p.m and give us more futbal, series, documentaries & boomerang. Pls remove magic world na disney-J coz they r so boring. Dont worry about movies we hav dvds.
@hott spring! many kenyans are deceived to believe Kenya is the best east african country and i wonder in what sense? maybe maasai mara but at least NOT in entertainment and fashion. Ugandans beat us badly and that is a fact.
Example: Ugandans will pay 5000-2000/= to watch any good artist even local ones as long as the music is not just good but great. Almost each month a Big international star performs in kampala for 3000-5000k per head and ugandans will show up in thousands the recent artist being Sean Kingston, something that kenyans will only dream about. Ugandans will pay good money to dress nicely the opposite of kenyans. Ugandans have a high taste when it comes to entertainment and any international entertainment company knows it well and that includes DSTV. Dstv knows better that in Uganda you must offer something good inorder for you to get the money out of their pockets. In Kenya there is alot of wannables who just fall for anything just because the media tells them its “cool” to have. Kenyans will pay for anything as long as its advertised regardless of its quality……..i am surprised at how many people bought the smart tv decoders in kenya…… this is why stupid offers are with us in kenya all the time…..so i must say Hott Spring….you were misled…haha
kenyans are the easiest people to fool when it comes to gadgets.they will rush to buy anything new without checking its pros and cons not knowing that what they are buying could actualy serve little purpose. think about it, now safcom has this “new” webbox which is suppose to be a great solution to accessing internet at home-BULL!! first of all home TVs dont support the best resolution for computer media…..some kenyans need to grow a brain and 3D tv was just invented for such douchebags
its a deal worth trying. in case you are interested drop me a mail on mwendakiruja@gmail.com.am a GOtv sales agent
of cource you cant say anything bad about it coz you are a salesman and all you want is to make profits. can you honestly tell people who have no idea about its workings, how good or bad it is?, and list all the channels it has?(that haven,t been listed. Are they worthy?
The second bouquet is being launched by the end of next month and it will have all those channels you are complaining about, it’s called GOTv plus. Stop complaining and go and read carefully on the multichoice website
If gotv plus is to be launched nxt month it shuld meet all the expectation of youths or else multichoice watanunua hizo chanels wenyewe. We mean stuf like more local and english/european futbal, best-documentaries, series and cartoons. FYI, Disney-J is retarded even kids dont likey. replace with Boom’/CN
am not only an agent but also a subscriber,,,i can assure you that a good number of kenyans-some dstv subscribers- are buying it on the premise that it is digital migration compliant because it uses the DVB-T2 technology. our competitors are using T1 which will be obsolete come Jan 2012…Anyway the offer is limited and this decoder might have its price trippled in no time so you better take advantage. if still interested drop me a mail on mwendakiruja@gmail.com. thank you for the correspondents that am receiving.
it’s such a hoax!!!! thought government wanted to help the transition to digital. if the mwananchi is unable to subscribe for the month, which will happen often, their stuck with KBC only!!!! r you trying to say the rest of the local channels aren’t free???? I feel ripped off!!!!!!
Kenyans will never cease to amaze.They always complain over nothing.If u can say that this deal is bad then you will never be satisfied by any one.21 channels for 585 bob?and u say its bad?u cant be serious guys get real.I have GOTV and am able to watch EPL,La liga,serie a,french ligue,kpl,zambian league,Nigerian league,movies, etc.If there is any other good deal than this then not on this planet.
GUYS IT IS WORTH GETTING AND YES THEY ARE INTRODUCING GOTV PLUS, THEY MADE A SERIOUS BLUNDER BY NOT PUTTING IT OUT THINKING THEY ARE PROTECTING THEIR HUGE COMPACT DSTV SUBSCRIBERS BUT I GUESS THEY HAVE REALIZED THAT THE GOTV DECODERS ARE NOT SELLING AT THE MOMENT AS THEY THOUGHT. THE QUALITY OF THE PICTURE IS BREATHE TAKING……VERY CLEAR FOR AN ANTENA….GO GET IT.
of cource there will be a conflict btwn dstv a nd gotv bouquets. I as a dstv subsrciber will feel cheated and ripped off when i see that gotv subscribers are getting better deals than me at a cheaper price. e.g for only sh.585 they get most of what i get for sh.1000(dstv-access)plus other channels that i dont get. i guess when gotv+ is introduced there will be a major shift from dstv to gotv but then again both are products of the same company hence they wont loose(monopoly is bad for consumers).
for me what will happen is-my dstv decoder will neva again be topped up instead ill buy gotv but only after gotv+ is introduced.
On 19th September 2011, Anonymous asked whether GOTV offers English Premier League and European championship games. Why has this question not been answered? It is not enough to just talk of sports without spelling this out clearly.
WE NEED RESPONSE FROM GOTV ON THE VALUABLE QUESTIONS RAISED ABOVE…… SOME OF US WILL MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR ANSWER…. GOTV ADMIN…ITS YOUR TURN!!
go tv give us more insights on this or else we stick to our unfulfilled smart decoders becouse this is a raw deal
Hello,
GOtv seems to be good. Having spent a lot of money and being let down by SMART TV, I am thinking of trying this one. Does it cover Ngong town?
Hello,
I would like to know whether GOtv works in Ngong town. I bought a decoder from smart-tv which never gave me the promised services and I would like to shift from that to a better option.
I can be reached through. 0722846966
Thanks,
Daniel
GoTV talk now. What channels exactly?? List all ofthem n we’ll make te decision. We r tired of rip-offs..
wen is go tv reaching mombasa
kenyans get ripped of left right and centre. if gotv sells 10000 decoders at 7000k they have made a cool 70m. the decoders leave china @ 30 us dollars. thereafter they hav got you by the nuts. my advise wait no hurry as at present most channels are available on offer are available free. sports channels on offer of no interest to kenyans. entertainment rerun of series from the nineties WAIT!!!!!!!!!
Please if you are a serious man who values his sports leave this for the ladies to watch African Magic(which should be closed by the way) and stop being cheap,just pay for quality(Dstv premium).
Guys I think for now zuku satellite has the best deal for 2k per month you get to watch all their premium channels bout 70 in no. Their basic package is also good wid channels like FOX, MGM MOVIES,music channels like KISS INTERNATIONAL,MAGIC,SMASH HITS and many more channels bout 40 in no. For only 1k per month. The whole package is 6k that is decoder+dish+installation+one month subscribtion isn’t this the best deal
I bought a decoder no. 713B60108009579 on 24th June 2011. I only utilized my initial amount offer of Kshs. 2000/= for one and half months. I have been unable to use the decoder ever since despite attempts to sort out the matter from your side. Your technical team claim its the aerial. How come it worked for the fist time and failed during the subsequent subscriptions? Am disappointed. No single channel is selected! I intend to throw it away or give it out for free to anyone willing to keep in the archive!!!!!!
My GOTV expired on 17th December when I was I way on a Safari it is very disapointing that the kids at home cannot even watch local channels like NTV KTN, Citizen tv etc. I believe smart tv had better deal. Think twice before disposing your other decorder.
Lenoo
Gotv is nice but its not up to standard.1/4 of its channels are free to air tvs, KTN, KBC, CITIZEN, NTV and K24. i stay in an estate where i pay ksh500 and watch 10 DSTV channels whereby i have access to all super Sport and ESPN, so, GOTV spice your package, add some ss onto it,so long as there aren’t live football, no purchasing Multichoice don’t lower yourselves to Smart TV standard.
“‘Can you imagine people in south africa on compact get supersport 3 pay less”
As long as KBC still owns 40% of DSTV,kenya (read multichoice) there is no pressure for them bring down cost hence some competition is health “Mr. Information minister!” I hope you are listening….
Oops! GoTV is a hoax, affordability does not mean you give me a blank screen display. Can u repackage this bouquet. If u have run out of ideas jus try custom made packages.
ithink you shoud add some sporting channels like ss7 and ss9 smart tv is better because it airs at least one epl match and haS setanta sports which airs more sports than select sports in GO TV
Hi Gotv guyz, are u going to introduce packages that will provide euro cups leagues and go world a wild animals documentaries? i need a answer…..
i thing you must be right, coz when u compare Uganda and we, we must be several kilometers away in terms of development and they should in-fact offer more than what Ugandan’s have not exactly what they have. Hi, Quys offers us with this like MTV,CNN,MAGIC but giving us church things, not all of us are holly jamas, we do go to church n we can sing with choir members, thanks for the offer but u need to withdraw or pay less attention as an offer, offered to Kenyans.
Gotv is not such a bad idea, however the signal is always interfered with by aeroplanes flying by. So if you live in places like Langa’ata you will be disappointed. Kiss TV its not among the stations. I would be willing to pay more for more documentaries and sport and Discovery channel available is Discovery world and Select Sport for sport. (I have one and am talking from experience)
Upgrade the supersport select so that we can have more EPL and La Liga matches televised and we are willing to add a marginal shilling for the added value.Also consider adding more channels e.g CNN, BBC and other entertainment channels.
shedds says:Does GoTv cover embakasi -Utawala area?I need to know before i purchase the GoTv-plus,if they launch it.
Don’t even bother. I live in Imara and it is such a waste of time. You can’t watch anything without the signal disappearing and getting a blank screen telling you that it is because of bad weather or faulty connections.I get so pissed off. Think of other options.
Again if you are late in paying it is another nightmare. after you pay you have to call them to reconnect you. They will do it but the next day they disconnect you again!!!
