@Wash What you are looking for is an F-type to female coax adapter<http://goo.gl/A6GZi> . Its not that hard to find, I know someone who got it from GoTV at no extra cost, but I didn't. On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 1:36 PM, Martin Gicheru <martin@techweez.com> wrote:
I wrote abit of what I got off the Startimes launch
http://www.techweez.com/2012/06/12/startimes-media-launches-startimes-digita... But the channel list was on print, couldnt get that on the post, as it's too much of typing. Checking on the Startimes site didnt yield anything either.

@Joseph,
Where can I find details of the Panasonic Model and who is the local vendor? Any contacts? Why do you recommend the Panasonic one?
I went to DSTV yesterday evening and saw their STB, but I did not like it because the connectors require me to get cables different than the standard RF (is that the correct reference term?) cables I use with my TV. I found that the INPUT and OUTPUT ports of the device require a connector that screws onto the ports... now, I don't have such a connector and neither do I want to fabricate one. If someone knows where I can by factory prefab cables for use with their device, please let me know.
My house antenna connection is a std cable connected to a wall plug and goes into the TV. It not the screw type.

@David
The GoTV STB allows you to view the signet content. my layman view here ---> I believe that the STB is backward compatible and as of yet 'T' has not yet been shut down its running concurrently
with
'T2' Now NTV is viewable on T signet but not on T2 signet Currently, Citizen is not on either T signet or T2 signet

Wash,
As an early mover I burnt my fingers when @bangito et al decided to
move
from T to T2 without consultation. Now the main difference is compression which means they can fit twice as many channels.
Now comes the big question which provider? I dont know NTV Citizen etc pulled out of Signet and are meant to launch their own transmission co. They are still far from launching. This means you'll likely have 2 STBs doing the same thing. My compromise was getting DSTV till the landscape clears.
Donnow when tho.
