StarTimes low cost set-top boxes to help households transition to digital transmission

Since the government made the decision to switch off analogue television, most Kenyans are left with only one option: to comply with the digital migration. As such, most households find digital television expensive to acquire and maintain and as a result, not many have managed to get a set-box or decoder to enable them to continue enjoying television broadcasting.

On the 5th of December 2014, however, Digital Television Company StarTimes Media announced a massive drop in the cost of acquiring its approved DVB T2 set top boxes in a move aimed at facilitating a smooth and affordable transition from analogue to digital broadcasting. The set top boxes will now retail at just Ksh 199 upon subscribing to any bouquet at a cost of Ksh 1,500 giving access to over 76 local and international channels.

Upon acquiring a StarTimes set top box for Ksh. 199 and the 1,500 subscription fee, Kenyans will have a choice to either enjoy 1 month Unique bouquet (over 76 channels), 45 days Classic bouquet (over 55 channels), 3 months Basic bouquet (over 37 channels) or 10 months Nyota bouquet for the same amount.

The move was advised by the company’s vision to ensure every household has access and enjoys digital television noting that the company has rolled out extensive after sales services to ensure the best customer experience with the StarTimes set top box.

In addition, StarTimes digital set top boxes will have a 1 year warranty with the offers applicable at all StarTimes outlets, supermarkets and the over 210 dealer outlets across Kenya.
