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.[/quote]

True. ABK!!![/quote]

I bought it and was the first to complain.Ithen went ahead and bought their prime package.Hiyo ndiyo bure kabisa kuliko basic.Honestly i will buy a free to air decoder and will live with the channels that i can at least enjoy.
Advice is like snow.The softer it lands the harder is sticks.

I thought they list the channels they have in each package, and I am guessing you have access to the internet to find out what the listed channels air. But you still go ahead and subscribe then complain.

I would understand if they did not list the channels available, but honestly

@gangruka i thought free to air channels should be viewed whether you pay the 500/= or not. is there a catch? do they force you to pay a minimum of 500/=?

Got disconnected last week and found out that the only FTA accessible was KBC, of course with the s**t sound. Not moaning since I got it for free, but now looking for a true FTA set top box.

I have also been disconnected and only KBC. Luckily my old aerial is intact. Which are true FTA set top boxes?

I agree with Dstv on this one...those BPL rights come up for bidding so highest bidder wins...there's a time they lost to GTV. If I was the owner of Multichoice I wouldn't budge on this one...

I have contemplated Zuku simply because of their internet and Star Times coz of the cost but I find myself stuck to Dstv simply because of all those things we have mentioned....clarity of sound and picture (unrivaled), content (despite the repeats and the fact that I know I won't watch the football leagues anywhere else and am serious fan)and reliability (other than that day for the Manchester derby the other day when the signal disappeared countrywide for like 20 min). I know they're a rip off but I can live with it till good quality competition comes by.

My dilemma too. Im a football fan, so pay TV without EPL is not a good deal for me. however DSTV packages are too expe. I have zuku triple play with very good internet. If i could get everything with including EPL at zuku's price id be very happy. Now im adopting the taste of football other than EPL. ( scottish, german cup, copa del rey)
