GOtv Nigeria has recently launched the GOtv Stream App, a significant development in the pay TV sector. As a prominent Digital Terrestrial Television service provider, GOtv has introduced this free value-added service, signaling a substantial change in how Nigerians engage with pay TV.
With its roots dating back to 2011, GOtv has been a preferred choice among low-income earners and the lower middle class in Nigeria, largely owing to its affordable pricing and utilisation of cutting-edge DVB technology. Over the past decade, GOtv has solidified its presence across the six geo-political zones, establishing a reputation for reliability, accessibility, and affordability.
The launch of the GOtv Stream App is a testament to the company’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its growing subscriber base. Unlike conventional television, this app offers users the flexibility to live stream or download up to 25 videos of their favorite shows, addressing the challenges posed by unreliable electricity and the escalating costs of alternative fuels.
What sets the GOtv Stream App apart is its comprehensive set of features designed to enhance the overall viewing experience. From creating account profiles to curating personalised watchlists on Catch Up, downloading content for offline viewing, planning viewing schedules with the GOtv TV Guide, to managing children’s viewing preferences — the app puts control in the hands of the users.
One notable feature is its ingenious solution to the issue of unstable internet bandwidth. By allowing users to download content for offline viewing, the app caters to the diverse preferences of its audience, including avid followers of popular shows like Big Brother Naija and Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards (AMVCA).
Compatibility is another strong suit of the GOtv Stream App, supporting various devices such as Android and iOS devices. Users can add up to four devices, each with its own profile, watchlist, videos, and recommendations, ensuring a tailor-made and personalized viewing experience.
Set to go live on December 1, the GOtv Stream App isn’t just a technological innovation; it’s a cost-effective solution that amplifies the value of users’ subscriptions. This forward-looking initiative from GOtv marks a significant stride in the Nigerian pay TV landscape, providing a seamless and enriched entertainment experience for its users.
