Kenyans have been on the rush to acquire decoders so that they
can continue using their TVs once the analog switch off is implemented across the
country. However, since all this is new
to most Kenyans, they don’t know which decoder best suits them. One of the decoders available in the Kenyan market
today is GOtv. Here as a comprehensive GOtv review of that will help you figure
out if it suits you.
GOtv is s offered by Multichoice. This makes GOtv a ‘sister’
to DStv. Since DStv subscription is expensive
to most Kenyans, GOtv was designed to serve the people that cannot afford to
pay for DStv.

This makes it possible to watch and understand any program in any of the GOtv channels.

Go TV review: The cons
1. You can only contact customer care through Facebook
At the moment, the only way to contact GOtv customer care is
through Facebook. This can be frustrating especially for people who don’t use Facebook
most times. Although they respond to queries fairly fast, sometimes it takes too
long to get a response.
