when will safcom unleash their TV package to take DSTV head on?

In today's nation the star times have a full page advert on the same, but their website is wanting. Anyone with more infor' mostly on program guide-coz if nat-geo isnt thea i aint lukin

I have watched their programmes in UG and if that is what they are bringing here,then i say crap.Connection fee in UG is Kindu 5K and monthly subscription equivalent to Kshs 1000K a month for a 40 channel bouquet.I think DSTV's competitor is a decade away even though i would really love it tommorrow .

"The second national digital signal distributor Panafrican Group will today go live with the launch of pay TV service, Startimes on its platform. The service will be on the second generation of Digital Video Broadcast Terrestrial technology (DVB-T2). Panafrican is one of three licensed digital signal distributors. First to be licensed was the KBC subsidiary Signet while Media Owners were also granted a license by the Communications Commission of Kenya."

"However, because Signet is yet to roll out its signal nationwide, Startimes is expected to provide stiff competition for Multichoice which is still restricted to Nairobi with its coverage. Startimes will sell digital set-top boxes at Sh3500 with a one month free subscription. After that users will be required to pay a Sh500 monthly fee to access its bouquet of programs."

So startimes belong to the Chinese! I expect fireworks in the payTV market(They even promise UEFA!)
