Best Free To Air Decoders In Kenya You May Need To Consider

Best free to air decoders in Kenya: Digital TV now sits on a pedestal superior to the now wiped out analog TV. The advantages range from high-definition pictures to the awesome goodness of picking out what you want to see – assuming you aren’t using free to air decoders. The quality pictures come free of charge.

Subscribing to a digital set-top box of your choice will provide this experience and much more. Free to air channels, as I would like to think, are like our veteran KBC, NTV, KTN, and so forth. They will do the job just fine if everything you want is some news, several ill-placed old movies, and some stunning local talent.

1. Phelister Free To Air Digital Decoder Kenya

Design

This 0.92 kg PVC built free to air decoder is sleek in appearance especially the black arrow model. While the design still conforms to the segments of traditional cubical design. It is complementary to your television set. The manufacturer opted to have air vents atop the decoder to alleviate drought and to overheat associated with electronic gadgets.

Multiple buttons on the front face help in case you misplace your remote control. An additional USB slot that you can use to either charge you’re other gadgets or play files is available.

External Connections

Unfortunately, HDMI connections are not possible with this decoder due to lack of slots. Instead, regular colour coded RCA cable establish a connection between your decoder and television. Full HD 1080P c quality images for your TV sets transmitted from this decoder

PVR (Personal Video Recorder)

For those who have a hectic lifestyle, PVR function helps you watch your favorite programs or missed games by recording and saving them for later.

Remote Control

The decoder has a classic rectangular shape remote control complete with contrasting light colored buttons. It is worthy of note that it is relatively light in weight and should come in handy.

Additional Connections

The RF Loop output is found at the back of the decoder next to the RCA slots. If you have an extra TV set, you can use it to establish a secondary decoder connection and enjoy the channels

Verdict

This decoder lives up to its billing of being free to air and simple design. This gadget has a price range of 1500 to 2400 depending on the retail outlet of purchase. It is a fair bargain by all standards and within range of other free to air decoders in Kenya.

2. Sonar Digital Decoder/Free To Air

Design

This 0.2 Kg free to air top box departs from other designs given its mild steel outer casing. It has a distinction of having fewer buttons except for the power and channels buttons, reserving the rest of the functions to the remote control.

External Connections

Just like other brands in the segment, it has RCA connections to your television. In addition to this, there is a USB slot for playing other external material on your TV. An HDMI slot is also available at the back side allowing for high-quality sound and picture quality.

Remote Control

The remote control is relatively ergonomic and light. The design, however, is nothing noteworthy especially when it comes to design. The manufacturers opted for a more conservative model.

Additional Connections

Rf loop both in and output allows for multiple TV users to connect to the single decoder for perfect user experience.

Verdict

The decoder pricing is well in line with its peers in the free to air segment coming at a modest 1500 to 1800. Having high picture quality than other models, both  RC connectivity, HDMI, and USB connectivity makes this the perfect entertainment source for the family.

3. SAYONA Free to air Digital Set-top box

Design

Sayona 5 x 10 x 8 inches 0.8 Kg  PVC cover conforms to industry standards. It is one of the best free to air decoders in Kenya today. This makes it a standard decoder that is neither stunning nor decor friendly. It will get the job done nonetheless.

External Connections

The decoder has both HDMI and RCA slots for both high-quality picture and sounds for your latest Tv models.

Remote Control

The remote control design doesn’t have anything unique but simple. It is, however, ergonomic and uses two dry cells.

Additional Connections

It is easy to connect the set-top box with other television sets when you use the Rf output slot to link to another television.

Verdict

Sayona has delivered a pocket-friendly decoder. Not exactly anything unique since the overall design and technology employed is the same as other market leaders.

4. BAMBA TV Decoder

Radio Africa the Company behind the famous Kiss 100 is responsible for the BAMBA decoder.  With Bamba TV we are talking high-definition movies, high-definition pictures, high-definition everything. It is one of the best free to air decoders in Kenya you will see around.

The amusing fact about BAMBA TV is that it puts to shame all the famous GOTv and even DSTV channels when it comes to clarity. With BAMBA TV you get your radio channels and TV channels as clear as can be depending on your aerial’s direction. Simply put you can’t go wrong with BAMBA TV.

5. HotPoint FTA Decoder

For those individuals who would literally die for a Kenyan mix i.e. a collection of Kenyan channels. The decoder has a PVR feature that lets you record your favorite programs to a USB drive or a hard disk. With this decoder, you will have all the local channels 3 stones, channel 5 from Tanzania you name it. A total collection of 28 channels, gospel channels as well and no dish needed. That sounds like an awesome deal for the lovers of local talent.

6. Technosat TS 1500HD

Technosat has a reputation of creating great receivers. As much as this decoder is good innovation wise, the design is to die for. It’s more of a rugged design that has been made very easy to handle, I mean the ease of use of Technosat decoders is second to none.

From its name, you can tell that it’s an HD decoder. To top it up these are some of its best features: It’s a full HD MPEG 4 decoder, Blind scan ability it supports USB 2.0 PVR. These are the most critical features to me anyway.

7. Samsutech DVB-T2

Known as the housewife’s paradise you can get over 30 TV stations and various radio stations and this list is growing so you better watch out for this one.

This free to air decoder has a USB port through which you can play your videos, photographs and your favorite music which is sorted in portable gadgets, for example, Flash disks, Micro SD cards, cell telephones, external hard disks and so forth Through the same USB port you can record and save your most loved TV program, or music on a Flash disk and play it later through the PVR function.

I think it is safe to say that we all agree this is the best feature so far. It also has a parental control lock where you can rate or set certain TV programs as suitable or unsuitable for kids using a password lock.

8. Thy Word QC-XPLUS Series V DVB-T2/S2 Combo Receiver Set Top Box

First of all let’s talk about the physical features, the Thyword decoder/set-top box is silver in color and has a button at the front just like most free to air decoders. With this switch, you can switch off the decoder completely and not have it on standby mode. The genuine technical name of the Thyword decoder from what we can surmise is QC-X plus series V.

The Thyword decoder is a completely MPEG4 DVBT2/DVBS2 decoder. This means it can get Digital Video Broadcasting Channels through Terrestrial and in addition Satellite means by using an ordinary TV radio wire/ethereal and using a satellite dish(es). This is where the origins of “Combo” hail from.

Instead of owning a decoder and TV, you can opt for a digital TV that receives digital signals using an ordinary aerial. These only receive 40+ local channels, the same to most of these decoders mentioned here.

Best Android TV Boxes In Kenya

Best Android TV Boxes In Kenya: Android Decoders or TV boxes as more commonly known, have been increasingly getting popular in the market as big strides are being made in the field of smart devices, mobile processors, and High-Definition video.

As much as there are various companies that are in the business of making set-top boxes, the Android platform remains the strongest and most favored platform for most smart TV and decoder manufacturers.

In Kenya, internet reliant decoders have not been widely publicized and so they haven’t quite gotten as much attention as the classic one-way Broadcast TV decoders. Even so, with everything “going digital”, you might want to check out the following awesome android decoders that are smarter and aptly interactive.

Here below, we bring you the best android TV boxes in Kenya.

6 Best Android TV Boxes In Kenya You May Want to Try

1. Nvidia Shield

If you are a geek, you probably do not need any explanation of why this is the first choice here. For the rest, the Nvidia Shield Android streaming box is a standout device mainly for its best-in-class hardware, gaming, and connectivity package.

Firstly, for HD video enthusiasts, it supports 4K streaming from the locally available providers such as YouTube and Netflix. It also includes a game controller instead of a classic remote, which when coupled with its high-performance hardware, should appeal to people with large collections of Android games and a love for big screens.

You also get a wide array of ports, for connecting your other gadgets and even expanding the storage with a micro SD card. Nonetheless, this Android TV beast trying to rival the Xbox and PlayStation will set you back a little over 20K.

2. Google Nexus Player

As you all know by now, everything Android is basically Google and so the mother company would never miss out on the opportunities it creates. That being said, the Google Nexus Android decoder is a simpler and cheaper box than the Shield, and is ideally paired with an actual remote.

The device basically propels its users to be the forerunners of Android TV while also allowing them to cast/project content from their tablets or phones as with the esteemed Chromecast dongle.

The Nexus Player also features a rather powerful Quad Core processor clocked at 1.8GHz paired with a PowerVR graphics engine and 1GB of RAM for gaming enthusiasts. On a less positive note, it only features an HDMI and MicroUSB port, a meager 8 Gigabytes of storage and is Google-biased – unless you are loyal.

3. Amazon Fire TV

The Amazon Fire set-top box is a well designed and preloaded streaming box with over 3000 apps and a variety of nifty features such as parental controls and an integrated digital voice assistant. More so, it is arguably the best valued 4K streaming device with hundreds of games and expandable storage.

The box runs a highly customized version of Android from Amazon which goes to explain why it hard sells Amazon Prime content both in search and interface. Other streaming services like Netflix, Hulu and HBO are shunted such that you can only get them in the “More Options” categories.

All in all, the device is pretty slick and for a price of around 10K, you get a pretty decent decoder, for both your online and offline streaming needs, that is also game-worthy.

All in all, the device is pretty slick and for a price of around 10K, you should be get a pretty decent decoder, for both your online and offline streaming needs, that is also game-worthy.

4. Matricom G-Box

This is another highly popular (Number 1 Best Seller on Amazon Store) Android decoder with a fairly nice set of features for optimal performance and streaming experience.

The newest model runs a purist version of android powered by an Octa-Core and 3D Graphic processor which guarantees smooth playback of your favorite content. For those who relish freedom, this is an unrestricted set-top box which allows you to sideload all your favorite applications and customize it the way you like.

It also features full integration and support for KODI TV, 8 Gigabytes of internal storage and the capacity to play Full HD videos (no 4K video). For all that and an unconditional warranty of 12 months, this is deal breaking Android decoder that costs a little less the 10K.

5. The Big Box

When it boils down to availability, Safaricom’s own Big Box Android set-top box is rivaled by none. The Kenyan super brand hypes its Android decoder as the ultimate solution for local media and internet consumers for the fact that users can easily use the company’s broadband data plans even though they actually cost an arm and a leg when compared to cable internet.

On a positive note, the device features an Ethernet port as well as an SD card expansion slot, for offline playback, and a classic USB port. The box also includes a full-buttoned remote albeit too traditional for this digital era and actual interface productivity. It has to be said that even though it is fairly priced compared to the others mentioned here, it is also a bit run-down, touting an outdated version of Android and an amateurish UI.

All these decoders are available locally although some of them are hard to find in the local stores and therefore need to sort out in reputable online stores. For new buyers, it is also important to note that nearly all Android boxes require HDMI connection and it would be wise to confirm TV compatibility before purchase.

Similarly, a decent Internet connection, preferably Wi-Fi, is crucial for streaming videos or games, especially during peak evening hours. You may also want to consider a universal remote if you would like to enjoy the convenience of using one remote for all your living room devices.

6 Ematic DV8235

Last but not least is the Ematic DV8235 that was recently introduced by Safaricom in the market recently. You can read about its full specifications and price here.

It is one of the best Android TV boxes in the market today.

Climax Bus Online Booking; Destinations and Contacts

Does Climax Bus have online booking? I got this question from one of my blog followers. Immediately after getting that question, I got into research.  

In this article, I bring to you Climax bus online booking, destinations, and contacts. But first, what are climax buses?

Climax buses or otherwise called climax coaches is a bus company that operates to cities in the former Nyanza, Rift Valley, and Western Provinces. It provides passenger services, cargo, and freight services.

Climax Bus Destinations

From it base in Nairobi’s Machakos Country bus Station, it plies to these destinations;

  • Kisumu
  • Siaya
  • Kericho
  • Nakuru
  • Majengo
  • Mbale
  • Chavakali
  • Kapsabet
  • Shamakhokho
  • Kakamega
  • Webuye
  • Eldoret
  • Matunda
  • Mois Bridge
  • Kitale
  • Webuye
  • Bungoma
  • Busia
  • Mumias

Climax Bus Online Booking

This is what brought us here, so let me answer this question without bias. So does Climax Bus offer online booking?

Am sorry to disappoint you, they do not.  Like all the busses that operate from Machakos Country bus, you present yourself on the day of travel, get your ticket, get into the bus, and hope that other passengers will join you for the trip.  

Moreover, they do not have a timetable, your journey can be delayed for hours if there are no passengers. The buses will only get going once they are ‘full.’

As for the fares, they operate like all other bus and shuttles companies in Kenya. When the demand is high, fares jump up, when demand is low, the fares drop. Only Easy coach has fixed fare prices.

Review

Should you take Climax buses to the destinations above? Before I give you my honest review, look at these comments I found on their Facebook page.

Obondo Solomon Says, ‘I tried the Bondo bus yesterday night at around 8, from Nairobi to home somewhere around Kombewa. The conductor alinipitisha penye nilifaa kushuka( The conductor did not drop me where I was to alight) . Ok, we made a deal that he’ll bring me back. Kurudi( On our way back) the guy told me to get up and create space for people going to Nairobi. I was really frustrated, and worse off he forcefully pulled me from the seat harassing me in front of the other passengers. Hata hakunishukisha at the exact spot alinipitisha tena( the driver did not drop me where I was to be dropped again).
This Sacco looks mediocre, look for a better way to handle your customers.
Personally I will never use climax, afadhali nirudi nilale( I would better go to the house) estate. I regret using this bus.”

Got Solo Says, “I told the turn-boy where I need to alight,akaniambia niambie( he told me to tell the diver) driver. Instead of answering me politely he chased me away…”kwenda…toka hapa then akakanyaga brake na kuachilia nikajiskia nimegongwa na chuma…currently naumwa na kichwa vibaya na akanishukisha njiani na mizigo yangu. (Get out of here, he then push on the brakes and I hit a metal bar. He then dropped me way off my dropping point while throwing my laggage at me.)
I hate climax services forever…

Nilikua nataka kushuka Tuskys past hotel Kunste Nakuru but akanishukisha Medical. Very bad experience!!! Huyo driver namuombea mabaya! ( I was to alight at Tuskys past Hotel Kunste but he drove past and dropped me at Medical. I wish the drive all evil)”

You do not rocket science to understand that these people had bad experience on Climax buses. I have never used the buses myself, but from what I hear from travelers, it a bus company you would want to avoid.  

Moreover, the Machakos country bus station is a den of thieves and robbers. You will be luck if you will have your luggage and other items on you.  

Unless you know you way around, and are ready to handle shit, then take Climax buses. But from my end please get an alternative.

Conclusion

Climax Coaches is one of the bus that ferry passengers to Western Kenya. However, there are reputable buses and shuttles that ply the route.

If you would like to take a bus, then you can consider taking Easy Coach, Mash Poa, or even Dreamline. There are also reputable shuttles such as North Rift, Great Rift, Blueline, Prestige, and Mololine.

Have you ever used Climax Coaches to western Kenya? If you have, what was your experience like?

But in a nutshell, the Vivo V19 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon octa-core 712 processor, while equipped with 8GB RAM and 128GB of internal memory.  The battery is a  4500mAh capacity which comes with 33W Vivo FlashCharge 2.0 technology that enables up to  54% charge in just half an hour.

Vivo phones are taking strategic steps to get a piece of the Kenyan market that is currently dominated by brands such as Samsung, Techno, Infinix, and Huawei. The company says that it is not only selling high-quality phones, but it is also positioning itself in the Kenyan market in terms of its quality, use of high-end tech, the input of advanced features, and some of the most innovative designs in the mobile phone industry globally.
