Following the 2015 transition from analog televised programming to the digital age, a large section of the population quickly got accustomed to the need to have at least a decoder to access reliable TV service. The initial cry was on the costs to be incurred to pay for the available pay TV bouquets but the service providers have since cut down the costs.
We currently have at least 8 pay TV service providers on the market, and with an increase in mobile prevalence in Uganda, it is a lot more convenient to access any of your favourite programs from wherever you are.
At what cost? That is what we are curating for you. Here is a list of Pay TV service providers and the packages on offer.
