What of DVB-T2 USB sticks? Might some people prefer watching TV on their computer? Throw in other gadgets such as media streamers/game consoles/routers and you could conceivably hook up a laptop/desktop to a TV.

USB sticks almost have similar features to traditional set-top boxes...

LED/LCD TVs on sale in Europe, Malaysia, etc have inbuilt DVB decoders/tuners. Why is it that these same companies (LG, Sony, Samsung) do not stock these models in Kenya? yet they all know that we are migrating from Analog to Digital?



3rd world countries are the dumping sites.

Sony and Samsung now rated as junk.

Great. I also didn't understand the rush. Also some digital set top boxes in the market have poor audio. Sad
Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
