Chinese media company, Startimes opened shop in Uganda ahead of the digital TV migration deadline. The company came to kick multichoice right on the butt with satellite services, super cheap decoders and a variety of packages to choose from.
The company has content for not just Ugandans but other nationals such as the Indian and Chinese community. On its satellite service dubbed StarSat, Startimes has StarSat Indian package going for a price of UGX 25,000 and StarSat Chinese for a price of UGX 40,000.
Even though it started with terrestrial digital TV where it famously touted its service as one that doesn’t require a dish, the company later on adopted satellite services branded as StarSat.
Now lets look at Startimes Uganda packages and prices.

Just wanted to know what is happening to star times pay TV. Are you telecasting to night or you are off air due to some technical challenges. Even after paying the subscription fee, the response is either no signal, no service, not subscribed, the transmission is on and off for some weeks, or are we also supposed to purchase the digital migration decoder? What is happening?
