So bwana engineer, with all the engineers churned out of our universities every year, how come we can't assemble these gadgets locally to bring down the cost and create jobs? Kwani the electrical engineering/IT curriculum taught in shaina/Korea is different from the one at UoN?

Okay, lets see what it will take to do it!, right: - gain admission in to the 'correct' university. - enrol in to the correct 'erb-k' accredited engineering course. - graduate - work for atleast 3 years (mostly +6yrs) under an erb-k accredited engineer. - succeed in the professional interview. - purchase and reverse engineer the set top box. - Hustle for the KEBS approvals, - You may want to patent anything new you 'invented' during your reverse engineering. so visit the relevant body. - Kenya Copyright Board may need something from you, for protection. - buy an 'accredited distributorship' slot from CCK. - SELL YOUR GADGETS, AND BEST OF LUCK. Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi

Its not that we cant make them here....we can.But as a hobby not a business.While we struggle to make one,China will make millions per day & at lower costs with wider demand from the world market.We made the nyayo car for several years....Japan makes millions of cars per day.Even American goods e.g Nike are no longer made in the US....China! Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

Why China... I hear labour is cheap there If our engineers are 'substandard', why are they expensive to hire yet we claim to have so many of them? How often have you asked for a Kenyan product when available? I care!

Why China... I hear labour is cheap there If our engineers are 'substandard', why are they expensive to hire yet we claim to have so many of them? How often have you asked for a Kenyan product when available? I will try to answer the question "Why China" Apart from labour being cheap, they have the highest number of skilled labourers.China is the world largest supplier of educated workforce, they have the highest number of science, technology, engineering and mathematics grads, giving it a leg up in some of the world's fastest growing sectors. Another thing, their labor laws are wak so workers are taken advantage of. But more and more chinese workers are demanding a higher pay now and the manufactures are looking elsewhere for labor.....Ethiopia is very attractive "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

Some updates: 1. For those with GoTv decoders who alredy haven't done it, please blindscan your decoders on your own to get the Signet Channels. Here's how: Go to Menu >> Settings >> Installations >> Tuning >> Auto-tune and press 'Ok'. After the box finishes the search, save and exit. The Signet channels are from number 801. This is what they're charging you 2,600/= to do. 2. A new setop box called Bomba is set to be launched by Kiss Tv sometime towards the end of Feb 2014. They say it'll have at least 50 channels and they'll charge a one-off fee to access everything rather than a monthly access fee (kinda like OpenView of S.Africa). So far, no word yet on the cost ( though I've heard figures of around 6k being mentioned, with a possibility of channel listing resembling that of the Azam package of Tz). Seems like we are in for exciting times. 3. A comprehensive list of Tvs locally available and with integrated digital tuners can be found here.Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Here's the real issue behind the digital migration war.Quote:Essentially therefore, once digital migration is eventually allowed to commence, the media houses will have to subscribe for transmission services through one or both of the above companies (i.e. Signet and PANG).
This is perhaps the elephant in the court-room. Everything else is a side-show and a curtain raiser that will eventually lead to the big question – is it risky business for media houses to rely on third parties to transmit or deliver their content to the viewers? What is the practice elsewhere? Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

The best thing is to have a FTA for now....or so I think. Things change every day. http://jolini.co.ke/pay-...-access-public-channels/

No one is now talking about the great migration. There will be a rush at the last minute again? https://www.facebook.com...a-Jolini/244195935741062

What percentage of those are in Nairobi and what percentage is in upcoutry? Any study/report somewhere you can refer me to? Thanks in advance.
