nüvi(R) 1490TV : DVB-T

Hi Guys, A friend is importing a car fitted with Garmin nüvi® 1490TV<https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134&pID=68763> . For those who are familiar with DVB, will this device work here in Kenya?? That's the question he's asked me. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

Wash, you may need to cross-check these: 1. Under specs I saw this ----> "*MPEG-2 compatible*". I think we're doing MPEG-4. 2. Assuming that 1 above misleadingly implies that the gadget is MPEG-4 but capable of handling MPEG-2, then there's the DVB-T catch. If we finally move onto DVB-T2, the gadget will be of little use outside Nairobi. (Nairobi will have DVB-T2 and DVB-T running in parallel for a while as the rest of kenya will be riding purely on DVB-T2.) But hey, those are just "plans" as we speak. :) Tony.
