Zuku Pay TV Bouquet Channels (African Basic Package)
In recent months, Zuku Pay TV, a prominent service provider in Kenya, has emerged as a formidable competitor in the market, challenging the dominance of DStv. While Smart TV has faced setbacks due to legal disputes and an underdeveloped terrestrial broadcasting platform, Zuku Pay TV has gained the trust of consumers with its impressively affordable monthly subscriptions and a wide selection of world-class channels. Although Smart TV offers a limited number of channels compared to DStv and Zuku, all three providers offer a standard basic package subscription with prices ranging from Kshs.700 to Kshs.1000.

With its diverse range of entertainment, news, sports, documentaries, lifestyle, and kids channels, Zuku Pay TV caters to the varied interests of viewers across the country.
as a dstv subscriber, i still think there is no match from any other tv services out there. zuku has nothing to match dstv's compact and higher packages because of lack of sports variety, football and general entertainment(kids,movies and comedy). at the same price range of about $20 zuku is only close to dstv's family offering fox ent , fx and nickelodeon. As for smart tv i really think they should close shop period-they used some "EPL" matches to fool people and sell.Their service is very poor and hence expensive. i have owned a smart-tv STB for 2months and i think i have paid subscription for the last time, this decoder will be maridadi for now.
ReplyDeleteso i think dstv wins here and no one needs to have a second dish installed in their home esp at these hard economic times so zuku you loose.
zuku are going to give DSTV a run for their money. In a few months that they have been operation on satellite platform and with very little advertisement they have managed to make a visible mark in the industry. Give them another one year and they might as well win premier league broadcasting rights for East and Central Africa, watch this space!
ReplyDeleteanonymous u arent sure of wat u toking about esp wen u tok of zuku tv
ReplyDeleteUnless zuku tv offers free local channels, we are gonna stick to dstv. Wake up zuku.
ReplyDeleteZuku nice but delay to pay fee not even local channels you would watch. if they rectify this, then in a better position to come up faster
ReplyDeleteZuku has to offer free to air local channels or the mass exodus from DSTv will come to an abrupt end.
ReplyDeleteBut why should I purchase Zuku when they dont even have NTV in their list. NTV of all the channels in Kenya cannot stay away from my eyes!
ReplyDeleteNTV iko
ReplyDeleteAll free to air channels are there on zuku except GBS
ReplyDeletezuku nice,but delay in payment not even local channel will watch.INSTALL GBS,And all free on air should be free in zuku to win the market.
ReplyDeleteGood start Zuku, but you still have alot of work to do. We need value for money,more channels that are actually fun to watch,better user interface,movie channels that stay on all night long and better sports coverage...otherwise whats the point of leaving DSTV????
ReplyDeletethis pple have got nothing at all...well if u see some' then fine..do u think this STB will be in the house a mere shit if it cant have even one local TV for free jst to watch when not paid incase of one bn hold up i.e "pocket enemy days"...thiss bullshit...u gotta do smthing about tht!
ReplyDeleteAm selling my zuku dish and decoder still new for 5500 ksh....my number is 070087477 Stev .
ReplyDeleteWanted to move to zuku but from what am reading, sorry, i'd rather stick to my dstv.
ReplyDeletei regret buying th box!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs zuku premium bad
DeleteWhen subscription ends ZUKU switches you off as though you are a criminal.Your TV goes blank;except for a useless advertising channels.Not even a single home channel for news.No sports.Just MGM's 'traditional' mexican movies,lots of useless music channels;funny radio channels which aren't even Kenyan(xcept Easy and Qfm).I am considering selling it off at a throw-away price to buy Astrovox with free channels.Did someone say DSTV retains some home channels if you haven't paid your subscription?
ReplyDeleteLet zuku mek local channels free and we pay for others in tht it will enjoy large market dominance thnx zuku coz in garisa ntv ,ktn,k24,citizen hazijaa fikia garissa lakini wit zuku we are watching thnx but rectify the former i mean free airin of local channels
ReplyDeleteI would like zuku to improve on their movies coz they repeat all of them also add cartoon network
ReplyDeleteReally zuku stinks, my Nickelodeon doesnt even work, the kid's channels are all just for two year old's, improve your services Zuku
