@Wash, 

I did swap my DVBT1 with T2,  I asked the same question, why  is it that when the subscription expires you only watch KBC, 

I was told :- 
All the other FTA channels receive royalties from  the company providing services , this is because they are private profit making companies , KBC is a parastatal.  In short the only  Real ' FTA' Channel is KBC.

If you need FTA channels buy an independent  DVBT2 and enjoy signet  hosted by  KBC  with all FTA except citizen.

@wash I think the set top box vendor in this case GoTV has the discretion to choose what stations are viewed when. The guys on the open boxes are watching non-stop. its like the case with DSTV. That it is possible to watch the free to air after end of subscription is just because they let you not because the law requires them to. Or I may be wrong.

So, finally, my GoTV subscription is EXPIRED and there is nothing like FTA channels!

All I can get is KBC and the GoTV Welcome channel - just like Brian.

Now is the time to stir the hornet's nest - ask the PS, Dr. Ndemo why is it that we cannot get FTA channels after subscription expiry. Could it be that we did not read some fine print or it is acceptable that GoTV, StarTimes and any other entity broadcasting on DVB-T2 should allow STB holders to access FTA channels?

@Wash
Waiting for yours to expire, mine did and the only thing am able to watch is KBC and GoTV welcome channel on the GoTV stream, everything else is blocked.
There is word on the grapevine that GoTV might launch another package on the 1st of October, Please note these is still rumor. I am kinda hoping that its true because I wanted to take that decoder to Star Times.

Kevin,

I have heard that too, but I have also "heard" the opposite. So we need a guy who actually has one whose subscriptoin expired recently to come out and testify :-) .

Im made to understand that with Startimes, if your monthly subscription ends ( i.e if is disconnected) you still continue receiving FTA.

Startimes is a subscription  service, like any other pay tv company out there. I am wondering, is there one which doesnt require a monthly subscription to watch local free to air channels ?

Which box are you switching to?

Ok. So the early adopters like myself are officially off Signet, today (01/09/2012) being the last day for DVB-T1.
My open DVB-T1 box is destined for the trash bin.

Will have to make do with DVB-S2 for now.

As we progress into the Digital TV space, I am wondering which model/unit is the best (featureful) that I can get in the market.

The only company I see advertising aggressively is STARTIMES which are suggesting I buy their Chingchong DVB-T2.

I'd like advise from people who have trodden this path, the early adopters like @DavidKiania, on whicd device they recommend  - available in the mkt.

I am curious about this Digital TV signal thing - my TV signal is already to clear that I wonder what difference the DVB-T2 would make in my life, bar for the govt's plan to switch of the Analogue signal.
