The box has spectacularly failed to connect to the internet. Have had to take mine back to safaricom care only to be told that problem is a network outage. Now I'm stuck with a really expensive Digital Box to watch free channels. -----Original Message----- From: "Kennedy Kairu Kariuki via skunkworks" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Sent: 08/05/2015 18:02 To: "Odhiambo Washington" <odhiambo@gmail.com>; "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] [SKUNKWORKS] Safaricom To Give Box Decoder UsersFree Internet For Six Months ++1 @Wash.

Perhaps with the Ethernet port you can use another provider. The damn thing is an android router with built in STB, and a media player. If you have a digital TV, you don't need it really esp if you already have a Wi-Fi router like my DIR-825 which uses a USB modem and has Gigabit WAN port to boot. Safaricom lies about free data bundles with the device. If you buy device outright at 10K, you get 3+3GB for 6months. If you buy on instalments you pay 5K device, 1K data bundle and then you pay 999 for 6 months which gives you the data bundle of 3+3GB. So you end up paying 12K in total. Where's that FREE data bundle?? I think it's the extra 1GB you get as compared to someone buying for phone or modem who gets 2+2GB valid for 30 days, or maybe the free YouTube for 3 months?? Let's just say it's a very modern and expensive FTA STB. That's all.

Zuku should massacre the market share in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu before this thing picks some steam.

Or is it an Internet device through which one would stream local TV? Thanks for all the updates. ^_^ PK On 8 May 2015 at 12:36, <skunkworks-request@lists.my.co.ke> wrote: Send skunkworks mailing list submissions to skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to skunkworks-request@lists.my.co.ke You can reach the person managing the list at skunkworks-owner@lists.my.co.ke When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of skunkworks digest..."
