All, I would like to know if the Kenya DVB-T2 signal is receivable at Loitokitok town, around 120Km South of Nairobi near the Kenya/Tanzania border (at slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro). I have a friend there who needs to try a DVB-T2 decoder. I guess it would receive via the Ngong Hills transmitter. I will appreciate.

Sorry I do not know the answer to your question, but have previously tried to find out information on DVB-T in Kenya from official web-sites, with little luck. The site www.digital-kenya.go.ke/signal-availability-in-kenya states that it is available in Kajiado and Isinya 'and environs' - guess that is as close as you will get to Loitokitok. Dont know about transmitter on Ngong Hills, I think I am picking my Nairobi signal from Limuru, at least that is where the antenna points. Again, the web sites seem to keep the location and operation of the transmitters as an official secret! - there are apparently two companies operating transmiters, Pan-Africa Network (Kenya), a private concern and KBC through SIGNET. The Pan-Africa website is actually less helpful than the 'digital kenya' web site, a let down for the private sector. It has a table of where the signal is available by month, but somebody forgot to state what year the table referred to! Oh dear.

The other obvious thing to say, which I am sure you have thought about with reference to your friend in Loitokitok, is it will partially depend on how tall his aerial mast is going to be!

Yes. In December 2012 I tried with a 65Cm offset dish with a cheap Eurostar LNB and got a very strong signal on both the West Africa and Europe/Middle East beams. Check the Canalsat TPs (10986V30000; 11671V30000; 12610V30000; etc.)

Hi Jobic, what is the size of your dish, lnb and receiver?
 
Hi Kungu1 and all, is there any 'connector' that can be used to connect a decoder with a computer TFT screen's RS232 port directly....may be a sort of an adaptor connected through HDMI, USB or RCA ports so that one does not have to necessarily use a TV as or for display. You're assistance will highly be appreciated.

See the attached Video-VGA convertors. I have seen them along Luthuli Avenue, Nairobi. Cannot remember the price for now. I will check and report back.

Hi Mtuko2 I had thought of that the day we met and checked them out but then realised there're connectors that would serve me enabling one to enjoy the same without the need to have a TV or the box. I appreciate....

Thanks a lot FTA-Nash looking forward to your update. And did you come across HDMI to VGA too or was it just RCA?
 
for along tyme been away but now am back to my usual hunting and am hoping to be with u guys so i greet u all fta hunters en goodnyte to all
 
Guys, I tried getting Nilesat with a 90cm dish in Bungoma. I failed miserably. Anything I should try?

Hi, in Bungoma you should be getting this sat very easily. We in Eldoret are receiving it with relative ease. You need a good lnb like Fuji or the much praised Samson if at you can get it. Get assistance from your door neighbour Chief Soita or Wakilongo when he is around over the weekends.
