Anyone with info about them.

I've checked the channels available and it seems similar to DSTV Easy.

could you list those channels, iam thinking of acquiring this thing

@QW, unlike you some of us have families and it is not plausible to huddle around a pc in the evening as we deal with the obusuma...

Take it slow. I read that they want to disable all current decoders so that they sell us others!

No supersport . Useless.....

Reading through that page I realise you don't need a dish so this is to nullify Smart Tv.
This is worrying. We need compe in this area.

this is the crux of the matter.

The Consumer Federation of Kenya has protested a move by Multichoice Kenya to make consumers purchase new decoders after upgrading software on older version.
Multichoice has been upgrading software on DStv decoders and consumers with the old ones are already without the signal that receives MNet and Supersport.
This will force them to buy new decoders at Sh4,500. In an e-mail sent to its dealers, the South Africa-based signal distributor, says that "subscribers must be forced to upgrade the decoders."
The Nairobi office defended the move as "normal technological development which we expect to carry a price tag," says Ms Stella Ondimu, public relations officer, Multichoice Kenya.
"It is a similar case when you bought your first mobile phone that didn't have a lot of applications.
"When technology advanced and new mobile phones with a camera and Internet access were introduced, people went back to the stalls to buy new ones," Ms Ondimu says.
Mulitchoice, however, did not explain what the new packs would offer that is special from the current ones.

I dont like those who make simplistic comparisons. I pity those who take in the simplistic comparisons.

Ms ondimu will be better off being a pr for mobile phone manufacturing companies then, if that is what she can explain fully.

You make people to buy from you new software then after that you tell them it was not necessary but now they have to purchase this extra thingy.

Haki monopoly is bad.

Guys are still paying for dstv premium ? ati 7590 now. NKT! Opted for free to air tv until this monopoly is tamed.

There are more free to air channels other than KTN, NTV, KISS and CITIZEN (the Kenyan ones) that you seem to have a gripe with.
