If you are looking for an alternative to DStv and GOtv following the recent increments of their monthly subscription price, then consider Metro Digital cable TV as your best option. However, I want to use this opportunity to help you with all the information you need about Metro Digita, also known as SLTV.
This cable TV provider has been around for a long time now. Still, many choose to stick to either DStv or GOtv just because they are getting the value for their money, until recently, when Multichoice decided to skyrocket their subscription price beyond the reach of many Nigerians.
Metro Digital TV is a premium entertainment service that offers a simple, reliable, and affordable way to enjoy live football, news, movies, and general entertainment. Here are the key details:
SLTV Packages
• Basic Package (₦2500/Monthly): Includes channels like MTV Base, Nat Geo Wild, and Arise TV.
• Premium Package (₦5000/Monthly): Features channels such as Premier League, Champions League, La Liga, Zee World, and WWE
Why pay more for less?
I have been using GOtv for some years now, but between the years 2023-2024, they have increased their package price 3 times, even when many Nigerians are struggling to eat. With Metro digital cable TV, you will pay less and enjoy more than extra value for your money, and I am going to prove it to you. However, the main purpose of this post is to answer all your questions about Metro digital cable TV, and if I don’t answer your question, feel free to use the comment box below.
Metro digital VS DStv
Most people often ask about the difference between Metro Digital and DStv or GOtv, but the truth is that both cable TV providers are unique in their way, and yes DStv might be better when you are willing to pay more for their premium channels. However, Metro Digital is better when it comes to affordability and value for money. DStv Premium channel is now N37,000 while Metro Digital GOLD Package, the most expensive package, costs only N5,000 monthly.
The price difference is significant, and yes, DStv offers more exclusive channels, but trust that you will have all your favorite TV channels on the SLTV Metro Digital Gold package, including sports channels, movies, and lots more.
