Just out of curiosity, what channels (in Kenya) do you currently get to watch with a DVB card ? And which areas are covered in and around Nairobi ?

@ Mark. I got mine through unified-concepts <http://www.unified-concepts.co.ke>. Please contact them as I am not sure on what they have in stock.
@Ndungi I don't have the channel list of my own memory, I had to remove Micro$oft, I can get you a full channel list that is available later.
@Brainiac Nime float. ??? [?] Hiyo ni nini? All I have is a DVB-T usb receiver. Trying to do some research for work :D
