What You Should Know About The New Startimes Gemini Combo by Sllime: 4:38pm On Sep 18, 2016 |
I have used this decoder for a while now and decided to do a comprehensive write up about it as the popularity about it is low. Startimes introduction of the 2-in-1 combo decoder is a part of drastic preparation for the digital migration era in Nigeria. This new product, the first in Africa, is equipped with the latest decoder technology to combine effectively, for the first time, the features of both digital terrestrial and digital satellite television technologies on a single device. Interestingly, this new combo decoder works with both antenna and dish and offers channels on both for the price of one. It also grants customers access to over 100 channels across the genres with an enhanced high definition picture quality. Channels ranges from: ST Yoruba, irokoworld, irokoplay Amc movies, ST Zone, Orisun, ST Yoruba, and Bollywood channels like Star Plus and Zee Cinema. Music channels like ST music, Nigezie and MTV Base; documentary channels like IDX, Nat Geo Gold and Discovery science; news channels – Al Jazeera and Bloomberg; ST Novela, Wazobia, Fox; Jim Jam, Nickelodeon, Baby TV, Fine Living and many more, The desire is to offer multiple accesses to subscribers to enjoy both digital terrestrial and digital satellite television channels and offerings on the same decoder and grant ease of access to switch between the options conveniently . Digital DTT and DTH has comparative advantages but with combo, StarTimes subscribers enjoys the combined strength of both. DTT is embraced as a model for its affordability, low weather interference, portability, more local channels, easy to set up and mobile friendly while DTH is desired for its sharper and clearer images, higher number of international channels, resilience and widespread strength in remote areas Features include: - Advanced HD picture quality - Exciting user friendly interface - Stronger signal reception come rain and sunshine - Flexibility with antennae or dish Suppor - Hardware Decoding of HEVC at 1080p60 - Simple Remote Control -Integrated Electronic programme guide -Automatic software upgrade The Package includes: -Startimes Gemini -Remote control -AAA batteries - External AC/DC power adaptor with surge protection -RCA extension cable -Quick guide -One year guarranty on product. New one will be given out if anything at all happens to product within a year of purchase -One month free subscription worth 3,600. I will be leaving the thread open to attend to all startimes querries in my spare time. So feel free to drop your complaints and querries. Criticism and advise is also welcome, thats what improves every business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea2BFXqVCKo Ref: Punch, August 9,2016 1 Like 1 Share

I am really enjoying the Combo decoder with very clear HD picture quality. OP, you missed Sports Focus (part of the sports channels). It also has Eurosport News, Fox Sports and Fox Sports 2. I am surprised that it doesn't show champions league as Fox Sports 2 has the right to broadcast Uefa matches. If you are watching online, you will notice that most of the viewing sites are broadcasting the match via Fox Sports |

Thanks bro for helping out. I do have a busy schedule and most times might not give the full details out to each enquiry. Yes it cannot show Champions League till it acquires the right to do that. A lot of things are involved in pay television business. Presently, startimes only acquired partial right and can show some English Premeirship Matches Live. |

Re: What You Should Know About The New Startimes Gemini Combo by Sllime: 9:51am On Apr 22, 2017 |
Pasblack: Your money, your choice sir |
Re: What You Should Know About The New Startimes Gemini Combo by Sllime: 9:53am On Apr 22, 2017 |
skywalker240: Mukticoice has exclusive right for that..however Startimes have partial right and you can enjoy one live match every weekend |

Sllime: I presently use the white decoders for starsat ... Wants this but not sure of the difference between both beyond the antenna and dish convergence. Can you just let me know something more about this combo decoders ... Is the NTA sport HD cause I rarely watch it on this white one because of the picture quality. Are the satellite channels all HD. I ask because an agent told me some I was curious how that was possible. |
Re: What You Should Know About The New Startimes Gemini Combo by Nobody: 10:27am On Nov 08, 2017 |
Nodogragra4me: Not all are HD, but it is very clear... U might not spot the difference between the HD and SD channels... |
Re: What You Should Know About The New Startimes Gemini Combo by Nodogragra4me(m): 12:02pm On Nov 08, 2017 |
Dreamswayne: Alright, I'm going to buy it ... I use dish and I live in Calabar. With this combo can I access my state, Anambra, broadcasting service here if I activate the terrestrial component with antennas |
Re: What You Should Know About The New Startimes Gemini Combo by Nobody: 1:07pm On Nov 08, 2017 |
Nodogragra4me: Well, am not sure of that... But can you rephrase ur question so i can understand it better? |
Re: What You Should Know About The New Startimes Gemini Combo by Nodogragra4me(m): 3:07pm On Nov 10, 2017 |
Dreamswayne: If I add the antennae would I be able to receive ABS Akwa, here in calabar |
