Unfortunately, there are no HDMI or SPDIF outputs (I can check again to confirm), adding these interfaces would increase the price on people who never use them. Here's what I recommend, feed RCA into an amp, denon, marantz, onkyo etc and then upscale the to HDMI interface. Most of these models do that with no problem. I an interesting development, I learned yesterday in a high-level meeting that KBC (Signet) will be pumping 2mb pipe bundled in to the DTT service. If executed this will have very interesting repercussions into the whole connectivity space, talk about disruption ;-) If you are looking at a PC connection, check out www.linuxmce.org. Kiania D.

hello guys,
I was wondering about the outputs of the currently available stbs, do they have component outputs/hdmi or spdif outputs for sound?
thanks.

first of all the media coverage by the government on the affair is lacklustre. . . they have a tiny ad with FAQ's in the dailies that barely answers my questions. They still don't have a website for crying out loud! no-one (by this I mean a typical tv user) knows what a set-top box looks like or works.. . . .I may be jumping the gun but a fully functional site complete with maybe even a comparison on picture quality between the analogue and digital broadcast would work well. . . . I know media coverage can cost a few body parts but if Safaricom can do it. . . .. surely CCK can handle it?

Very true - in theory. You do know what the reality is like, has been like. I am open to suggestions on how to make yourtheory work.
