I bougth my decoder at Nigerial and i have move to Ghana Pls i need the digital code to watch the digital stations in Ghana. Thank you.
Please in ghana here can we watch Adom tv and the rest of the channels like multitv own
I am worried about the soccer channels and the movies you are showing,you have not mention them and here in Ghana we are not familiar with your channel names unless you do some education on that.
I am a Ghanaian and will like to know the amount of your decoder and more over is it necessary that you pay for channels for months like Dstv and Gotv does it or yours you only pay it for ones and that is all
It is a subscription based TV, which means that payment can be renewed once they are expired. But then, you’ll normally get free 3 months subscription on full purchase.
I am in Ghana and I have visited your website and I want to the price of your Decoder in Ghana cedi’s. And the channels you will get.
