Arrogant but stupid question. Makes me wonder too - In this era of Internet who can still not know the importance of fax? FYI fax is still widely in use even for those with email. You can find out why from your Internet. He who can express in words the ardour of his love, has but little love to express. - Petrach, Son.

Bettertry wrote:@G.G, too many theories about a single product... here's what this agent told me, the guys who bought these T1 decoders back then @ Ksh5000 (l think) r actually the ones who'll get their's replaced with T2 decoders when it hits the market. But for the rest of us who r currently getting them for free... when T2 arrives u will've to buy it and not get a replacement like the guy who actually bought one!!!
Most of these agents, imagine, won't tell u about T1 or T2 decoders unless u initiate that topic. Since we have acquired them for free, even though they dont seem to have the capacity to activate the decorders in good time, when time comes to replace them I dont think it will be a bad idea paying for new one (T2).And maybe then there will be many options/Varieties available in the market. I however think that the switch to digital TV can not be 2012, Kenya is not ready and we will surely have to wait looooooooooooooooonger........

The switch will occur at 2012 no doubt. Why are KTN, Citizen, Kiss-TV etc on the DVB-T platform? They actually used to be there in the signal distributed by Signet [owned by KBC]. When Smart TV came, the complained that their content had been given to a 3rd party without their consent and withdrew their signal. I was among the 1st people to buy the set-top boxes when they were introduced in January 2010 and it used to be fantastic. All is not lost...CCK will this month [June 2011] announce two more signal distributors to compete with Signet and I hope by the end of the year we'll have great things. "..I am because we are.

An attempt to settle some scores with smart while losing out some market (a clearer signal....) True, silliest reason. Someone is offering to carry your signal thereby saving you huge costs in infrastructure capex and opex, but no, they take a really myopic view, while at the same time investing in transferring the transmitter from Ngong to Limuru, a cost I believe they could have avoided.

This guys were in my hood seriously pushing sales for the decoders.What are the total number/names of the channels showing? Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

@murenj, Smart TV sent the SMS. btw, sound is awful, KBC completely inaudible. It was raining last night and the pictures were like a bad replay.

....regarding the lack of sound in some stations, they once told me to switch/interchange the red and white cables. Pluck the red cable and insert where the white should be on the decorder only and vice versa. Regarding the channels dissapearing, search them again and then go back to the search screen and just below you will see some thing listed below labelled "new channels" then change the word "automatic" appearing on the right side of it to "dont remind me ......or something like that". The stations wont go off again. All in all, the channels have very poor quality sound, unaweka volume yote ya decorder na ya tv to at least hear something. Bure kabisa. In addition, the movies shown on showtime are repeated daily so what you watch today you will watch on thursday, etc. I regret, only that it was free.
