My startimes setop box has been behaving badly updating itself every minute ad infinitum, initially it was transmitting signet and 15 minutes goes back to startimes. Could they have been hacked.

@Wendz, i finally got through their customer service line and apparently they are "ugrading". their facebook page has gone viral with complaints!

Have you tried their antenna for improved performance? In Kasarani it works better than GoTV

Increase the height of your aerial for a better signal.

Startimes is better than Zuku...its all depends on your aerial height.Once you sort the aerial height,you will be as happy as a cow eating lucern

English ,French it just keeps switching.
And sometimes it brings channels you haven't subcribed to or mixes up programmes.
eg World war 2 documentary with Nat Geo in between.

I bought it but never renewed my subscription... it's sound is from the pocket radios of the 70s and 80s! Then there is cross-talk across channels - useless, useless!

Unless you want to give it to some one you really hate; don't waste your money on it!

Then I will start using it in 2-3yrs. As for now DsTV suits me just fine

I've also given up on Startimes. The remote ON button does not work. Can it get any worse?
