Just got an answer from this KBC article http://www.kbc.co.ke/story.asp?ID=59924 He urged consumers to consult and buy compatible digital television converter boxes that are approved for the region under the MPEG 4. *"Retailers and dealers in set boxes and other television accessories are also advised to have such boxes that have the required sets of standards" he said.* Kenya and other African countries share the DTI technology with Europe and Middle East. "*We have to adhere to digital terrestrial television (DIT) standards for the county," he said*. Ndemo said the wrong sets of gadgets being sold in the market will not be compatible with the DIT that was launched early this week and called on consumers to insist on warranty when buying them so that they can have them replaced if they fail to work.

The standard used by freeview is Mpeg2 yet the cck recommended standard is
Mpeg 4. wonder if this will mean that the cck decoders will be obsolete against the standard being adopted by KBC
Most probably, or freeview might decide to carry the channels on their frequency too. but beware of Gtv kinds and future charges.
