@Capri: It is not illegal to hook up 2 TVs to one decoder. It is futile if the decoder is not dualview or if you don't have a splitter. For dualview you can watch two different channels from the same decoder. A splitter allows you to share the decoder, but only one channel at a time. And multichoice have no way of knowing that you have connected their decoder to 2 TVs in your house!

Did anyone see an article on DN yesterday about the triple play being touted by Wananchi Group. They are talking about Voice, Video and Internet at Kshs 1000/- per month. Free calls all day, 1MB internet and about 250 PPV channels! Dreams!

These guys used to use on Decoder and split into the around 16 channels.

But i hear Dstv were able to change something on their side such that their software does not work,

now they have to do one channel per decoder, which is not making any business sense for them, nor their 'customers'

Wazua is amazing. Good stuff guys.Applause

Heard about a waria in Eastlands who charges a one off fee of 35K for the premium package. Installs a dish in your back yard and uses a modem (orange) to 'tap' all the channels.

I think there are other decorders and providers out there other than hizi za multichoice, making it harder for Multichoice to nab these crooks. Like Eutelsat that has most, if not all of the DSTV channels. Zile cable zinapitia Eastlands, one can confuse them for telephone cables. Premium channels, pap!

Like @subzero am also confused after reading the above posts.........IS IT LEGAL OR NOT? Mimi sina 800K fine ya kulipa.


Dont read too much, its legal to share DSTV where no commercial interest (arbitrage) exists, e.g. home watching.

But it is definitely illegal to distribute especially if it can be demonstrated that either: DSTV services were subscribed for with the intention of commercial redistribution, or under any circumstances, such a redistribution yields redistribution revenues exceeding the price paid for by the subscriber (as in pay 6k, distribute for 20k)

I still think DSTV is run by a bunch of greedy capitalists! And they bill in dollars! Sad

If they really wanted to, most households in Kenya would be having a legal DSTV connection at an affordable price.

I think you would be surprised to note that KBC actually owns 50% of the Kenyan DSTV. In other words, it is our own govt fleecing us!
