On a sad note, this weekend thugs broke into my house(after having sprayed us with an anesthetist). I woke up to find my electronics missing including my tv, and laptop. Also missing were all my remotes including that of my beloved SRT 4922 (moment of silence) which they left behind.
Now, as i re-energize and re-budget on replacing my stuff,can someone please assist me on where i can get the SRT remote control and at what cost? Thankyou

Being an ambassador of azam, their picture quality is great, ask those with having it. But as usual if its free we can accept ok quality.

RADIO Africa Group has today unveiled a digital network platform via a free-to-view service known as Bamba TV, making it the first team of local broadcasters to embrace digital migration head-on. The service will be offered under its newly established subsidiary, Lancia Digital Broadcast, and will be accessed over free-to-view decoders. The set-top boxes are on sale for a one-off cost of Sh3,299, without recurring monthly charges or subscriptions as is the case with pay-TV, effectively reducing the digital switch-over costs for most Kenyan households. Radio Africa Group has disclosed it will invest up to $10 million (Sh905 million) in the service over the next few years. Bamba TV has been piloted for the past 12 months, and the signal is now live in Nairobi and its environs ahead of the December 31 deadline for the analogue signal. Bamba TV will be available countrywide by March, when Kenya is expected to complete the analogue-to-digital broadcasting switch off. The new service will offer 50-plus channels, up to 24 of which will be international – exclusive to Bamba TV – while the rest will be local free-to-air channels. “We have been on the road for over a year, striking deals with the greatest TV channels around the world, and now we can offer all these amazing channels to Kenyans for free,” said Danny Mucira, the general manager for Bamba TV. “We believe that Kenyans who cannot afford to pay for TV should have access to top quality entertainment. So, Bamba TV has no monthly subscriptions and it is free for life.” The service is poised to be Kenya’s premier family entertainment platform, airing children's programmes, movies and entertainment, fashion, sports, documentaries and news channels. The free-to-view package on digital terrestrial television is a first on the continent. Al Jazeera English and France 24 English are among four international news channels to be accessed on Bamba TV. It will also have two sports channels, including one for wrestling. “We are now providing the digital dividends for the ordinary Kenyan – the best TV channels, free for the rest of their lives. Kenyans will ‘Bambika ki Sonko with Bamba TV’,” Mucira said. “We will also create a diversity of voices and afford Kenyan producers the opportunity to build and launch their own channels on Bamba TV.” Radio Africa Group has dominated the Kenyan radio scene over the past 14 years and made an indelible mark on the newspaper scene with the Star. Besides Bamba TV, its stable boasts most-listened-to stations, including Classic 105, Kiss 100, Radio Jambo, 105.5 Xfm and Jambo Turkana. It also owns Kiss TV.

I have re-scanned my DTT STB and got just a few of the 50+ channels some of which are "Coming This January". My re-scanning has also unearthed another provider: "PANG" who is providing mostly the local channels. This is besides the traditional STV and Signet

Very sorry for your loss and it's a relief no one was hurt. I think there are satmates in this forum who deal with the equipment. They should be able to assist. Once again, sorry.

Yes. I have just noticed. Guess what is showing as i type? The Equalizer. I hope they line up 'No good deed' after this as a token of appreciation for my loyalty.

 

[karizz]

Could be. i have to ask; is it just me or does the picture quality on those channels look cheap. If that is what Azam or Zing offers basi wacha ikae.

i was also thinking the same the picture quality is sooo poor am wondering why they scramble in the first place.Do they expect somebody to pay for that?We are already in 2K,4K etc

The Radio Africa Group has a reputation of advertising to deliver a buffet dinner only to deliver stinking mud. Lets hope whatever Bomba TV is bringing to the table is worthy of watching. My biggest guess is that they will fetch fta satellite channels that we have enjoyed for ages using our dish farms with the help of DiSEqC switches and offer them as world class channels

I contacted a big boss man there who is a friend when browsing thru the channels and noticed they weren't streaming Kenya@50 celebrations, unlike ALL other channels. I was told, "our targer market doesn't care about Kenya@50". I concluded I was outside their target mkt.
