Samsutech DVB-T2 Free To Air Set Box

Samsutech DVB-T2 is a free to air set box video receiver that converts analogue signals on standard TV set to High definition digital signals. This is in response to the global analogue migration to digital platform switch off deadline which is 2016. You can also consider buying ARMCO DVB-T210CX  Free To Air decoder which to me isn't a bad deal either.

For you to receive digital signals on your standard TV you need to  a digital set top box. There are two types of set top boxes; that is subscription and free-to-air. This Samsutech DVB-T2 set box I am talking about here is a free to air set box which means that you do not have to subscribe or pay anything to watch your favorite programs.

Features and specs of Samsutech DVB-T2
  1. With it I am able to receive several digital TVs stations in excesses of 30  as well as a number of radio stations and the list is growing.
  2. It has a USB port through which you can play videos, photos and audio music stored in portable devices such as Flash disks, Micro SD cards, mobile phones, external hard disks etc
  3. Through the same USB port you can record and save your favorite TV program, video or music on a Flash disk and play it later through the PVR function.
  4. This set box can play most types of audio, photo and video formats such as Mpeg 1/2/3/4, MKV, AVI, WMV, DAT, VOB, JPEG, GIF, BMP, PMG among others however, I found it unable to play FLV  but still you can convert those files to compatible ones.
  5. With its the up-scaling technology your low resolution videos will be turned into a high resolution file of up to 1080 pixels. 
  6. You can out-put to your HDTV through its HDMI port using a HDMI cable.
  7. With the help of the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) feature, you can preview all the electronic program line-up right on your TV screen.
  8. It also has a parental control lock where you can rate or set certain TV programs as suitable or unsuitable for children using a password lock. 
The only challenge is that the whole country is yet to be fully covered digitally. To be on the safe side, do not wait till you see a blue screen after analogue signals cut-off. Save some coins and buy yourself a Free To Air (FTA) set box to enjoy digital TV.

Effects of Skin breaching

Simply, I do not know what has gotten into the minds of some Kenyan ladies. Skin breaching has all of a sudden become trendy and girls have gone mad about it oblivious of their massive side effects of skin breaching and the fact that quality of these breaching agents are not regulated by the government. 

Nonetheless, this business has been booming in Nairobi especially in River Road where it happens under the watch of ignorant law enforcers who are often compromised to look the other way. Some of side effects of skin breaching are lethal and irreversible. According to a Harvard trained dermatologist Dr. Pranav Pancholi most of them contain Alpha Hydroxyl acid which is not only corrosive but also has the potential to destroy your body tissues.

Many ladies erroneously belief that Kenyan men love light skinned women but this is not the case and I can attest to this. It is a baseless generalization. This habit is most common to celebrities and other rich people as not all can afford it as is costs up to $70. Recently, a Kenyan socialite, Vera Sidika reportedly spent millions of Kenyan shillings to breach her skin but rumors are now going around that something went wrong as her skin as her skin later turned pale. 

Skin lightening agents should be applied topically but some customers go against this and demand for injections for faster and effective results. Probably this is why the process ends up being irreversible. According to a beautician operating in River road in Nairobi, an injection makes old women look six years younger. That is how strong these chemicals but what is more worrying is that if something goes wrong, you may end up looking like an Albino

My take on this is that people should not try to change how they look. They should just be contented with their skin complexion. If you are light skinned or dark skinned or otherwise, stay that way. Skin breaching is not and will never be a solution to your problems. It is against this backdrop that one should consider the side effects of skin breaching before applying.
