StarTimes is a well-known TV provider having managed to gather up 9 million subscribers globally since its foundation in 1988. StarTimes took ground in Kenya in 2006 having adopted Digital TV technology in order to give customers a powerful and secure multi-frequency and multi-channel digital wireless TV transmission platform.
StarTimes gives to consumers both pay and Free to Air set-top boxes. The pay set-top boxes require a subscriber to pay monthly subscription charges to access the service while the Free To Air set-top boxes do not require the same. A customer is only expected to pay once on installation and from then on has free access to local TV and radio channels.
