About
GOtv
GOtv is a digital pay television service
designed to cater for all television households in Nigeria. 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).
