I bought a GoTv decoder and the "charger" is already faulty and replaced at 500/=. The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

I hear a lot of advertisement about Bamba TV, personally I've been using Zuku which is good as it comes with the internet in the same package. African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'

I would have imagined that CAK would have specified only one transmission standard?This reminds me of the different analogue era standards i,e PAL,NTSC,SECAM but KE had PAL..

I use the StarTimes free to air one for 3,299/- it even gets the Bamba channels. In a place where thought is abandoned, freedom can become a curse.

DVBS2 = Satellite DVB-T2 = Terrestrial. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

I bought GoTvkenya the 2, 600 set top box to be paid in 1400 and a further 1200 all one-off.
so far am getting the kawaida FTA but only accessing Signet channels. NO Bamba Tv n NO Pang channels.
Looking back I wouldn't go for that deal since you really don't get access to the all FTA channels.

PANG is a signal carrier, not a broadcaster, nor a decoder retailer. Same applies to SIGNET. If you go to the CCK website, you will find the full list of 60+ decoder dealers who are selling type-approved gadgets in Kenya. BAMBA, GoTV, & STARTIMES are just 3 out of the 60+ personally, I've been using a Jolini which I bought somewhere in an "exhibition" along Moi Avenue. It receives all Free-To-Air channels, including BAMBA! I like the fact that it has a High Definition output (HDMI) and that a recording function [PVR]. It also plays movies and music from flash discs.

It is full HD and has PVR functionality. There are a few people who bought bamba and are now buying Jolini. What could be the reason?
