what mukiha means is that the sound has "no depth " ie its not even 2.0 dolby stereo(20khz-20hz)sound.....I thought it should have been 5.1 capable .terrestrial digital pictures are even worse than uhf cause of compression but sound should be mp3 128 bit quality.

I believe they have poor equipment ...hata unjiru TV sounds like that after all he uses sufurias for transmission :).


Woi! you make me feel dizzy.
Yaani u guys measure these things?? I wouldn't as long as I can hear.

NO!

Just a normal home hi-fi kit... but not one of those dreadful 10,000W lousy "boom-boxes". This is one is only 30W per channel...and the Missions produce 88db/W... while the Ixos cable are made from pure crystal oxygen-free copper...


Yawa @mukiha, but do you say? Your retort is straight out of the Lakeside script....

I happen to have both startimes and zuku in the house. Why do I have both? Startimes was a freebie when I gave them my useless gtv decoder, and zuku because I have triple play and Internet is the real reason. There is at least a five second time lag between the two - startimes being the slower - means my sons laugh five seconds before I do when we are both watching Tahidi High. Funny thing is my startimes has never been disconnected, despite never having paid them since the initial two month subscription.

I have hooked it up to my Marantz PM4200 stereo amp and out through the Mission M71 speakers [via IXOS interconnects and speaker cables all with gold plugs]; In other words, I listen through a fairly good sound system.

Strangely enough, DVB T2 has enough bandwidth, sufficient for broadcasting HD. Europe and other countries are watching HD via T2

Yes, listening to sound at lower bitrates is so distasteful, especially after having being acquainted to sound encoded at higher bitrates.

Of course, to be able to enjoy high quality audio, you'd require the quality signal & a sound system that can reproduce it.

I regret why i bought this star times decoder. Giving away a mininmum of 500bob every month is too much. in one year thats is the value of the dividends we are chasing after. I would advice anyone who has not subscribed to buy the ones with complete free to air channels. Hii startimes ni bure sana. imejaza stations ya UG/TZ kwa screen.
