iPhone CDMA on Orange network
by Mark Mwangi 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

I have been wondering for a while why Orange Kenya does not sell CDMA iPhones yet they have the only active CDMA network in the region and as far as I can tell it is on the same tech as the American one (CDMA 2000) This would ensure lock in of subscribers and allow subsidizing of handsets. The subscribers would be happy on an non-congested network, assured revenues for the network since there is no unlocking or sim swap business and utilization of the network that only seems to be used by modem dongles. Win win? -- Regards, Mark Mwangi markmwangi.me.ke

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

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

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./

Hello skunks, I just realized today that from my bouquet of services i do not have any local TV channels, So I got a C band dish with its LNB and for good measure a KU band lnd. I have pointed these to the general direction of 60E, but cant seem to get anything on scanning the frequencies of say citizen on 62E. is there someone here who has the exact settings ? these<http://www.lyngsat.com/Intelsat-902.html>ones seem not to work... -- *“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy”*

GOtv Plus
by Odhiambo Washington 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

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.

Digital or Intelligent TV
by Joe Mayaka 07 Sep '13

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
