The trick is to get a universal decoder - if such thing exists - so that when they go the GTV way, you can move to the next provider. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

A Dreambox is a universal decoder, just slot in any car and repoint dish to specific satellite and voila! ./Ok3ch On Fri, Nov 26, 2010 at 11:07 AM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:

@Bernard, You are right it's not satellite but DVB-T @aki, Purchasing the STB/Decoder is kes5000 with a monthly subscription of kes990 I don't know how many channels. I think the dreambox runs on a derivative of Fedora...corrections welcome. Regards, -- Lusiola Brian |3 R 1 /-\ |\|

I have no idea if you can get them locally, but they are available on online stores and ebay. Bought mine in Germany. There was a gentleman who wanted to bring some locally to sell, but that was a long time ago, and don't really know if he did. ./Ok3ch On Fri, Nov 26, 2010 at 11:35 AM, Brian L <lusiola@gmail.com> wrote:

@Ericko You still get the free to air channels avaiable on signet. Quick question how much are the other digital receivers/STBs/Decoders? 7k5 I believe do the math. Regards, -- Lusiola Brian |3 R 1 /-\ |\|

That 8 channels got me on the same question about payment. Unless the channels are premium content, its going to be a hard sell. DSTV has most of the premuim content such as Live F1 etc. So far I've not read anything on the channels content. On Fri, Nov 26, 2010 at 12:06 PM, Ericko <lyricalericko@gmail.com> wrote:
