The evolution of cable television in Nigeria has been nothing short of astonishing, and just when we thought we’d seen it all, Multichoice catapults us into a brand-new cable TV era with the DSTV Explora. Already established as the premier cable TV brand in Nigeria, the introduction of DSTV Explora solidifies Multichoice’s position among the greatest cable TV providers of all time.

With the Explora decoder, the fear of missing out on live events or favorite programs, both local and international, becomes a thing of the past. While both the basic and Explora decoders offer an extensive array of channels, packages, and programs, the differences lie in their features, flexibility, and technical properties. The Explora takes the viewing experience to an entirely new level.
