Good day folks,

I feel compelled to weigh in on this discussion. The are 2 kinds of people out there in my view. 

Those that want a way to continue watching tv post migration and those who want more. ie are willing to pay for content.

Either way the below should be taken into consideration.

1. Content is King
The only reason why we want to watch something is because we like it. Some will be willing to pay for it.

2. Coverage/Distribution is queen.
GOTV, (just launched in Garissa and Narok) PANG, Signet have the best coverage so far in that order.  Bamba only recently launched at the coast from media reports. ADN is only in Nairobi for the time being. Thjere are some areas that are only covered by Satelite so you will be looking at Satelite Tv. (DStv/Zuku/StarSat/Azam).

3. Best of both worlds
GOtv and I believe Startimes have the best of both worlds. Their boxes can operate in FTA or paytv mode. (Usually after paying a fee to cover for subsidies. For GOTV = 1200/-, ST=2500). Once the subsidy is paid, the box becomes an FTA box and enable you to watch anything out there that's free at NO monthly cost.

The good thing with this is that you can always jump back to the paytv option when your economic situation allows. eg. when your girl is coming over or the kids are on holiday :)

Also GOtv is running a promo starting today and they have just dropped their prices to 1,399/- with 2 months subscription. After the 2 months, you can pay the 1,200/- subsidy and convert the box or pay a monthly subscription.

3. Choice of Box:
As I read earlier, some people would prefer to go with certain boxes because of certain fancy characteristics. But in the end, the boxes are just receivers. They will likely receive anything out there that's FTA in addition to encrypted content if you will be willing to pay for it. The question is; whose box do you choose and my simple answer is; the one with the content you want to watch.

There has been lots of confusion about digital migration but I believe we are beginning to be more informed.

My 50 cents.

That sounds impressive too Alex especially for the Techie inclined types. Your price is what will put off the common guy on the street who isn't conversant with the extra bells & whiles on your box.
  • Hbox --> Kes 3,399/=
  • BambaTv --> Kes 3,300/=
  • Android Multimedia Smart TV Box/ Media Player --> Kes 9,500/=

Tony.
