Been on Startimes for about 2 months now. The lineup is fair but I got a problem with picture and sound quality on a number of channels. furthermore, the company seens to have locked their decoders to scan specific frequencies only. This effectively prevents your box from picking signet signals unlike Gotv that can pick Startimes FTA channels. So far I am not complaining as far as cost is concerned but they need to fix their sound especially the annoying background noise.

Kevin,
I have heard that too, but I have also "heard" the opposite. So we need a guy who actually has one whose subscriptoin expired recently to come out and testify :-) .

Im made to understand that with Startimes, if your monthly subscription ends ( i.e if is disconnected) you still continue receiving FTA.

Startimes is a subscription service, like any other pay tv company out there. I am wondering, is there one which doesnt require a monthly subscription to watch local free to air channels ? -- Ndungi Kyalo

"Counterfeit or non-registered T1 decoder holders will also benefit from this initiative" Pay the subscription of course!

-- *“And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order of things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies,and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries . . . and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have actually had personal experience of them.” * (From Chapter VI of Niccoló Machiavelli,The Prince.
