@ Ali, so this option 2 means there is going to be a monthly charge for the FTA channels? If this is the case, then Lucy's house manager is right.

Startimes has had an Ad running where they are offering two options
1. FTA one which I think is substantially higher. I think almost 5k 2. Subscription one which is like 2k.

This report seems to contradict CCK's communications manager Mr. Wambua who said today on another thread on this list that all subscriber-based digital set boxes have FTA channels for end users who don't want to pay subscription fees

Through the letter, CCK is reneging on an earlier agreement with Cofek that made it compulsory for pay-TV companies to give subscribers access to all free-to-air channels, even without a paid-up subscription. This agreement saw the providers introduce a new range of decoders that would allow customers view all the FTA channels – KBC, NTV, KTN, K24 and Citizen TV for free.
