Months after the introduction of Kenya’s first DVB-T2 digital television frequency by Signet which’s owned by KBC, StarTimes has joined the segment in a move that’s expected to propel Kenya’s ambitions of fully migrating to digital transmission. Despite the potential presented by the new platform, most pay TV providers in Kenya have failed to cope-up with Dstv which enjoys a significant portion of Kenya’s total market. The likes of Smart TV and G-TV were forced to exit the market due to competition. StarTimes TV is owned by China’s Pan African Network which’s currently operating in most countries including Nigeria and is currently available in Nairobi and its environments on D.T.T platform. The success of StarTimes will be attributed to their Bouquets in terms of Pricing and channels; Dstv is comparatively expensive but has a lot of sporting channels which Kenyans love.

my hubby keeps complaining about Discovery sciences cos yours is discovery world………wish you had sony max too………am soo sad but i want to experience unique bouquet so i can know way forward…
i bought startimes decorder last month and imagine am enjoying it,their signal is perfect.Guys who are complaining you should connect your decorder to an external Antenna for you to receive best signals…i had the same problem but am sorted.i have 4 days to top up n continue enjoying!!!!
Bought the StarTimes at Rongai BeesNess Park in Rongai, 1st Floor WestWing (Masai Stage) and the guys there are the best. They even fixed an aerial for me at no cost and now I receive over 125 channels including 40 Signet Channels free of charge. Dem boss comes over to my house whenever I want him and leaves me fully satisfied on matters DVB. I will consider him for other services. StarTimes is the best.
why cant i receive any local channels( ktn,ntv,citizen,qtv,kbc)? i have always been on support of startimes but recently i am regretting purchasing your decoder. i am situated at kasarani,mwiki.Advice b4 i subscribe for this month.
Startimes is great! I bought an STV-DVBT2 decoder going for Kshs 4,999 two months ago and I am telling you that this decoder is great! I have a total of 32 free channels after expiration of my subscription. Unique Plus bouquet comes with a total of more than 125 channels, and still growing larger! I like them.
Am a new customer.Lives in Kayole,Nairobi.Iwould like to know whether you air live sports ie EPL.CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.Athletics etc as am a fan of spots, Respond please.
its good because its affordable for an average kenyan, but honestly speaking airing local channels freely on the new setbox and charging the people with older boxes isnt fair at all. You should have upgraded the older set boxes first before bringing the new one.
Man awa ni waste bure Kabisa imagine my little sis alikuwa akiwatch kids co now wana toa I hope wakitoa waeke boomerang au Disney channel au xd so far hi decoder tumeifix 4 times now ata dstv ni poa lakini watoto hawata soma aah zuku ni better
I wish i could have a better comment but its all the same they are not helping us & also they lie to us that its free to air only to be disconnected once it expires kindly let view our local channels and pay for the others. or just tell us the truth when purchasing this items.
What happened to the local channels?Only kbc en k24.i have stayed with this decoder for only one month.Having not subscribed,am not able to watch local channels.am forced to disconnect the decorder en connect it manually to the aerial.Do something please.
World cup is here with us…Our folks in shags need somethings for getting entertained…..I thot of star times buh after reading the comments ….I am kinder worried..en thinking of anaa option…..plz clear this mess before your ship sinks like gtv. …
