In line with its vision to avail Nigerians the benefit of high quality digital television services, MultiChoice Nigeria has launched GOtv in Aba, Abia State on the latest Digital Video Broadcast (DVB-T2) technology. The Digital Terrestrial Television service was launched last Saturday at the Hotel Terminus Complex.  To launch the service, GOtv deploys the latest DVB-T2 standard technology which leapfrogs the outmoded T1 system that is currently used by some pay television services in the digital migration process in Africa. The DVB-T2 technology allows for up to 21 channels per frequency while the DVB-T1 only allows for 12 channels per frequency.  With the use of DVB-T2 technology, GOtv gives Nigerian subscribers a dramatic improvement on the dividend of terrestrial frequencies. It offers subscribers the most advanced technology and broadcast system in Africa and the rest of world to date, and the first digital television pay service on DVB-T2 technology in Nigeria.  Mrs. Elizabeth Amkpa, General Manager, GOtv, says that the brand provides great family entertainment at a prize that everyone can afford: "GOtv is the best value for money pay television offering on DTT in the country with a broad selection of local channels made in Africa for Africans; and these channels come in great picture and sound quality".  GOtv is offered via two bouquets: GOtv Plus, which has a total of 35 channels and GOtv, which has a total of 27 world-class local and international channels". GOtv is currently available in Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Enugu, Benin and Aba; with expansion plans still ongoing.
