It doesent work, its just a gimmick. They record TV programmes on DStv and then replay them on the matatus, it appears real because of the dish, but u shud find out how digital satelite works, a small change in the dish and you completely loose the signal On 7/28/09, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
correction kidogo :-) Ku Band or any sat service need a LOS. 1 degree change in any direction is the equivalent of 400 miles out there, thus each satellite spacing at between satellites is 2 degrees. I suspect the matatus are using a chinese DVB-H via 3g box on a fixed rate.
