Depends because they do both wholesale and retail, and prices are negotiable.

@Redi

Instead of just selling, please educate us. For instance any TVs in kenya that are digital ready? Alternatively how do we use the set top boxes? What makes more sense economically buying the set top or a new Digital TV.

You will have assisted many a "peeper" greatly and chances are that they will buy from you.

You will know that you have arrived when money and time are not mutually exclusive "events" in you life!

There're really no digital TV sets in the country.All the fancy LCD sets you see around have analogy tuners thus requiring the set-top box for digital reception.The cost of a true digital TV would be quite high hence it makes sense to get the box.
Please also ensure you only buy an approved model.

@XSK.The set box ia basically a receiver.You need it to decode the digital waves.About 20channel are available once u install one.The 1st phase which was implemented in dec/jan2010 covers a radius of 140km from nairobi.

The Digital Video Broadcasting(DVB-T) technology bn in existence since late 80s.most of the set box targeting the mass market are mature.

Comes in two forms, SD or HD type.A HD receiver cn decode both SD&HD transmissions.Currently all channels are free to air.might take another 10yrs or more to get pay channels.Most of europe,asia and Africa use or will use DVB-T technology.

these gadgets also available for vehicles/computers. see http://www.alibaba.com/member/ke108524083.html
