Yes it is true that the decoders will cease to receive any signal at the end of simulcast period [on midnight of 30th June 2012]. It would be worthwhile to wait for the DVB-T2 decoders that meet the CCK specs. Am sure sooner or later Smart TV will require you to upgrade your decoder soon after you buy.


The concerned dept should now talk about ewaste as the sellers dispose the dude sets as we await the DVBT2 thing. Am sorry a lot of conning is loose in the market

Still not activated yet but I've just spoken to Customer Care.
Yes they are currently facing challenges activating smart cards because of the surge.
They are activating on instructions faxed to them by the resellers so there's a chance the guy who sold the thing to you hasn't faxed your form.
T1 decoders which all these are will be valid in Nairobi even after the switch to T2. But if you are out of Nairobi they will exchange your T1 for a T2.
The move to T2 is not eminent as srikal needs to cough up the moolah to facilitate this, so T1 will be with us for a while longer.
Most of the other free channels will come on stream in a week.
So if this guy is being truthful then there's nothing to worry about

@G.G, too many theories about a single product... here's what this agent told me, the guys who bought these T1 decoders back then @ Ksh5000 (l think) r actually the ones who'll get their's replaced with T2 decoders when it hits the market. But for the rest of us who r currently getting them for free... when T2 arrives u will've to buy it and not get a replacement like the guy who actually bought one!!!


Most of these agents, imagine, won't tell u about T1 or T2 decoders unless u initiate that topic.
