The decoder retails for for around #8,000 to N15,000k and then you will be paying a small monthly subscription of there subscription is #3,000 per month.
This is a terrestrial package just like GoTV and startimes hence, you don’t need any dish as it comes with an antenna. The signal is not too bad but not on par with the likes of gotv and startimes.
CTL Area of Coverage in Nigeria
Like I said earlier, CTL sports channels are only available in Abuja, Portharcourt, Akwa Ibom, Benin, Ibadan, Lagos, Owerri, Aba, Delta, Bayelsa and basically all south southern cities of Nigeria.
In their prime, they show virtually all the EPL matches, La Liga, german league, Seria A, champion league, Europa League, FA cup, carling cup etc. they are the best for the lovers of football at minimum price. Please note that this has changed and CTL and metro are currently battling with broadcast piracy issues. You may not get those beIN sports channels on their package anymore.
On their single subscription plan, there are about 56 channels mostly premium channels from the middle east these channels cut across everything u will need in a cable TVi.e news, movies (Nollywood and Hollywood), musical channels, cartoons for children and Christian TV.
it will interest you to know that there are other three companies that offer similar service with comparable channels and well affordable. the companies are CmTv, metro digital and CAN TV. they all use terrestrial decoders with the antenna.
