Recently, the Communications Authority Of Kenya (CA) directed pay-TV providers to grant access to free-to-air channels on their decoders. GOtv had barred its users from receiving channels transmitted from Free Trade Agreement signals like PANG, Signet, Bamba and ADN. So despite your subscription, you might get more channels either way.
