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.

Gotv Kenya Mpesa Business Number is: 423655
Gotv Kenya Customer Care Contacts : 0711066555
can’t someone clarify to me the DVB-T2 and T1 technology stuff? does it is mean that smart TV decorder is obsolete already? contact is davidodialo@gmail.com
i dont understand like kiss tv is not aired,also natiogeo and SS7 and SS9,atleast give us this since Digital tv is the way to embrace.
I’m still waiting for an affordable pay tv that will dedicate a channel to local content (sports especially – KPL to be precise)
do we hav gotv in mombasa
This is a good thing to try! is it functional in Ngong area?
Men if you have never bin to pay TV try this. Everything has merits and demerits. For around 6k the deal is worth trying.
Dear Friends, for those who have already purchased GOtv I feel sorry for them coz I’m one of the victim and I don’t recommend it.The system does not work properly it it has issues, full of interruptions; ON and OFF.Therefore there is no proper support when it comes to complain as their target is just selling the package. Take my word: never go for GOTv.
Johnny
Buy it and see how it works for yourself! Don’t waste time listening to what people say here. Loose your money,its yours. Buy a good thing,enjoy yourself. Nobody tells me what to and not to buy.
GOtv is very clear and advanced than smart tv which is a waste of money for an average person but at least they should add ss9 and ss7 for about 1500 per month dont listen to those who criticize gotv coz most of them dont have.Big up to Go tv
Smart TV is finally closed, get this friends; go for Dstv or Zuku, they’re reliable. Gotv is not yet reliable and channels are not as good
I got GOTV recently just cos I didn’t want to pay for my DSTV compact subscription after watching the cost escalate month by month due to the dollar.
My take is that it has potential if they launch a GOTV+ package as suggested the market is there for pay TV to get out of the tedious nonsense of daily soap operas fed to us by the local Free To Air channels. A few channels like Nat Geo wild, CNN and SONY would make all the difference.
I just bought my GOTV the other day and am so dissapointed with the reception at Embakasi…at the moment I wont recomend it …cheap is so expensive!!!!!!!!
“PLZ JUST CARRY UR DECODER 2 GOTV CUSTOMER CARE OFFICES IN GREENSPAN NYCE DAY”screemed a customer support fellow!!!!.I sounded I had to travel all the way from office in Westlands to settle a TV issue!!!!!!! what a waste!!!
who is supposed to reply all of the above questions?
hi i have GoTv it is a good start for picture quality but the programs are boring as hell there are a lot of repeats and old movies . truth to be said i pay for it to watch the free to air channels as they have better programs . kiss,bbc,fox all this good channels do not work .they have sonny max but it airs funny things . PLEASE CAN YOU IMPROVE THE PRODUCT . my friend has told me zuku for 1000/= is much better .save kenyas from having sitting rooms full of gadgets
kindly improve on the number of channels.the ones there are just boring.you can even provide different products at different rates.
i hate this thing we call GOTV. I paid my monthly subscrition upon expiry date but i have not been able to reconnect. i have called the customer care service numbers which appears busy all the time consuming my airtime for nothing. I think i should throw this thing away and go to my usual TV CABLING….If it is entertainment i will get it elsewhere….am sad GOTV
i have Gotv,its not bad for a family has some funny interesting to watch stuff for a family,but they still need to improve on the bouquet.it could be better especially for me,like for me i love fights,boxing ,ufc,wrestling and sports.
So gotv ,thats a challenge to you.but well done,nevertheless
Wow…and the way carol na jarang’o wanaimarket kiss100 n kiss tv is nt even part of the package! Is there a digital converter box which has no monthly sibscription fee; just for airing local channels in digital format? Think that’s what I need now, nothing fancy. Plus digital converters are upgrading by day, very confusing.
If u r a fan of movies and series buy a dvd player which are as cheap as 3000ksh,and dvds for only niche(50)Bob.Don’t rely on go TV,boring channels,we need more sports and documentaries.And like i said for the movies and series we can sort ourselves out.By the way i just recieved an email that you are increasing your monthly subscription to 720ksh.WHAT THE HELL FOR?
am the newest user of Gotv i guess…..got it last week…clarity and reception from where i live is perfect..crystal clear! but disappointments are on the bouquet and choice….you tune from one end to the other and you end up settling at KBC channel. Whats its use if after all that i still end up on the free to air channels???do something gotv and bring those gotv+ asap! Uve got great potential so kindly dont waste it and wreck the image you building….its always so hard to make than break!
post the link for page soonest
Absolute waste. Don’t buy it. Only got it for the convenience of a portable decoder. Now I see I’m gonna have to get DSTV and the Dish, which I was trying to avoid coz I move often. Sample this:
–>SonyMax – Weird Asian kickboxing shows.
–>E Entertainment – Boring as hell, Keeping up with the kardashians being the main show here – i hate that family so I never watch that show anyways.
–>Africa Magic (plus 3 other such stations) – Plain old oga soaps which i loathe with a passion.
–>KBC, NTV, KTN, Citizen, eTV Africa –> Basically paying for free to air channels. And no KISS TV? Come on, people.
–>Discovery World – ok I don’t mind this.
–>Al Jazeera –> I don’t mind this either but I wish it was CNN instead because Al Jazeera is so focused on the Middle East News Front that sometimes you wonder if it’s really an International News Channel. Besides, they do not have interesting interviews like BBC’s hardtalk or CNN’s Pierce Morgan (or what was once Larry King Live) – which I love.
–>TSN, Style Network – Most boring channel ever.
–>SS Select –> African football matches. A UEFA match once in a while. Boring. More of the EPL please.
–> Channel O – Do people still watch this channel? Can’t stand it.
–>3 Gospel Channels – Never watched any, just not my cuppa tea.
–> 2 cartoon channels – Don’t have kids so not interested.
All in all, 1/10. I mostly find myself back on the Free to air channels. And they just increased the subscription fee from 585 to 720. Not worth it. Best to pay 3k/5k and get quality DSTV channels.
Hell’ wanted to buy one but the comments h’ve read are harrowing.
shape up or ship out.
is gotv in coast? ama bado
i boughty smart tv decordere n after 3 months guess what no signal/ifear buying anything dis days better zuku tv 4600 bob decorder plus dish rather than buying only decorder for 5500.further more no kiss tv coz they sold some shares of live matches on sato to it n therefore they will never put it on their platform/why cant kiss go ahead n buy from barclays? iam in mathari hospital nairobi
I must admit that even though dstv is exspensive But offers the best entertainment. the zukus and go tv are below entertainment
I must admit go t.v is a con. Just got it not more than 2 weeks ago and i regret ever spending on it. In the newspapers they said it had more than 40 channels (i have a copy of the newspaper) but apart from the usual k.t.n., e.t.c. it has less than 10 others. Most of the time it has no signal and so much interruptions. Cheap is expensive for real.
dont buy the stuff…it has poor quality eg ntv show blur images n no sound for some channel like kiss tv..they say it has 40 channel but has only 23 inclusive of kenyan channels.its a complete waste.
OH MY….. GOTV IS ACON, I BOUGHT MINE THIS FEB ,I REALY REGRET ALOT.GUYS ALL THIS COMMENTS R TRUE.I HARDLY WATCHED IT FOR ONE MONTH AND THEY DISCONNECTED IT.THIS R JUST THUGS. BOGUS FREE TO AIR CHANNELS.OUR GOVERNMENT SHULD NOT ALLOW THIS CONS TO OPERATE IN OUR COUNTRY.PLIZ GUYS STIK TO DSTV FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD.
i thinks before you write all these nonesense, you should rescan…like now if you rescan you are going to receive 73 channels in total…64 tv stations and 8 radio stations….i have never experience what you pple are saying. go to menu….advance options, installation then reset, click ok then it will start rescanning.
Hi Guys,
I know people are disappointed but i guess we can put pressure on Gotv to style up. First of all let go tv introduce that new bouquet of gotv+. We need more educative channels like Natgeo Wild, CNN. id rather they remove some of that Africa Magic and put in Natgeo or Zone Reality. The Ugandans are having a good time. Next thay should have a 24hr customer service/technical desk to deal with issues that come up at night.
I dont know whom to bliv so, I am spending my money like I did on the useless star decoder.
I bought Gotv about 2 weeks ago and now its not working.It says ‘Signal not founf.contact the Gotv call centre.’ The problem is i have tried calling the number +254 202 710 754 but it does not work.Does anyone know if there is a new number they use?This is ridiculous.
sorry guys i talked and gave up .the decoder is now collection in my house i wish i had bought zuku tv .
these guys do not care .
get a good Ariel and you will watch free to air channels Cristal clear,than paying for free to air channels on govt .
so the new kid on the block claims that if you do not pay suscription after the first month you will stiil view all local channels….Any on who can verify this?
I have a goTv decoder and it is working extreemely well i dont know which decoders you people are talking of.. i have access to customer care and the direct sales agent i bought from is always there for me.. Maybe ask him for assistance on Kevin 0726210205 you can aswell purchase from him and will install for you…
Dear All,
I had a plan to purchase gotv today BUT with you
comment i decided not to ,since this seems to be womens bouquet.i have decided to go for full Dstv premium
Austine Coast.
thanks alot
hehehehehehehe
Enlight us on the Go tv plus..what wiil happen to the person who ha s a go tv decorder already??
You’ll be required to subscribe to a monthly plan of Kshs.585 (21 channels), of course after your initial 3months subscription expires. Those who are not within Nairobi will however not be able to enjoy GOtv services until after the provider has obtained and set up frequencies in their areas; My be u can tell me something about this, am not a Nairobian.

m still checkin for a movie channel…
I bought Gotv yesterday the other day but it isnot bad, atleast for clearity and the fact that no Sattelite Dish is required, though I was disappointed because my main interests were missing, i hope they can bring a better package.
WHO IS WILLING TO COMPARE BETWEEN GOTV AND SMART TIMES? I NEED TO BUY A DECODER SOON
Go TV is a waste of you good hard earned money. I bought it in December 2011 and I AM 101+ disappointed. I had SMART TV which was much better than Go TV. There channels are MORE than BORING. PEOPLE please do not waste your money buying for this bogus gadget
I bought this thing 2 years ago and already having issues. I can’t watch some channels and their customer care service sucks! No one seems to know what is going on when you call with an issue. They need to style up like really first if they intend to make any inroads in this market!!!!!
You have made my day,. by channel by channel analysis of GOtv. AND I am now convinced this thing is as useless as having nothing. I will never buy it unless it has Nation Geo, CNN, BBC, Discovery channel.
THIS IS AS EXCITING AS STAR TV WAS AND THEY NEVER LASTED FEW MONTHS ,,,AND CHANNELS THAT WERE NOT THERE……. SO FRUSTRATING
what do we do now? many of us want to buy a decoder…we can not all afford dstv…and they talk about the switch off to digital? which one will be buy? zuku? gotv? startimes? who came up with this idea of compulsory pay tv for every one? do they know there are people who cannot afford to start paying that 720 per month????
i have one but i regret the whole thing. why on earth would they say it has 21 channels and for heaven sake the local channels are free.i regret the whole deal
