Fail... IMAX is just a big screen... Nothing special.

SONY EX650 vs Samsung UA-46ES5600
by Thuo Wilson 07 Nov '13

Hellos, Today for all the right reasons i decided to window shop. In a way to keep myself to-date as far as TV models and features are concerned. Needless to say i got more confused in those shops that i would over the internet. SONY <http://www.sony-mea.com/product/kdl-46ex650/specs>, LED, ex650 - 119,000 Samsung <http://samsutech.net/LEDS_TVs/About_LED_all.html>,LED, UA-46ES5600 - 114, 000 Not considering the cost - which one would you go for picture quality wise. There is too much info out there that seem 50/50 with the 2 models. Also i really dont care about "internet tv bit". Got a better system that does better. I prefer a TV ikuwe TV. Oh please DONT mention also the 3D - not ready for that. What happened to LG? Thought life-is-good?? Wilson./

GOtv Plus

Hey guys, Now that GOtv brought their long-awaited bouquet to KE at KES 850 monthly, I'd like to hear what the GOtv-ers in this forum think. I resubscribed yesterday after a 3-month hiatus and I think I love some of the new channels especially NatGeo Wild. There are others, but I hate to watch repeats still, but given prior explanations on this list, I believe repeats are very much part of the business. 10 new channels added, with a few interesting ones. Question is whether we are getting a good deal at KES 850. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

Hi Skunks and Skunkettes, Happy Hoildays! My small Sony TV is amazing me. I have the normal Aerial and with it, i am getting National Geographic channel, Some Supersport Channels, at times African Magic (depending on what the neighbor's house girl wants to watch that day) and some Indian Channels among others (even some local channels and Arabic). With this intelligence i am not even thinking of taking up the star times offer for the decoder. :) Regards Joey

patent of ideas locally
by TheMburu George 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hey Skunks Now that all the major players are sueing each other over infringment i.e. apple, samsung, android, Microsoft etc how does one go around patenting ideas/concepts locally. This is given that .ke is fast becoming an innovation hub I'm just wondering is there law/body that can protect the community? ./TheMburu -- Conservatism is the adherence to the old tried against the new untried.
