After purchasing the necessary household appliances and furniture, I started thinking about getting a television. My options were either to buy a smart TV and use the streaming services available in Nigeria or get a regular LED TV and subscribe to a cable service provider. Since I was on a tight budget, I had to consider my options carefully.
If I bought a smart TV, which is more expensive than a regular TV, and subscribed to various streaming services, I would not only need to pay for monthly subscriptions but also for internet service to watch the programs. Apart from the cost, I would also be limited in the variety of shows I could watch.
On the other hand, if I opted for an LED TV, I would need to subscribe to a cable service provider. This would involve purchasing the necessary equipment and a subscription package. However, despite the cost, I would have access to a wide variety of content. I ultimately decided to go with this option.
Next, I had to choose which cable service to subscribe to. During my research, I found out that GOtv was offering a price reduction on their GOtenna. Even though they had recently increased their subscription package prices, I could get the GOtenna and decoder for less than half the usual price, saving me about ₦30,000. I decided to subscribe to the Max package because it included all my favorite channels, such as Discovery ID, E! Entertainment, Africa Magic Epic, Yoruba, and movie channels. Plus, I only needed to renew the subscription monthly.
The installation process was also seamless—the box came with everything required for installation. I only had to purchase extra cables due to the distance between my decoder and the pole’s location, and I needed a pole to mount the GOtenna. I also downloaded the GOtv Stream app so I could watch on the go or download my favorite shows to watch later.
It’s been over three months since I started using GOtv, and I’m still enjoying the service. The picture quality is clear, and there’s more entertainment than I can keep up with. I often find myself switching between channels because I want to watch all my favourite shows at once. The only downside is that I might need to replace the batteries in my remote control frequently because of how much I flip through the channels.
