StarTimes current offerings in the digital TV space include DVB T2 decoders for the Digital Terrestrial platform (DTT), Satellite product offering referred to as StarSat, where a user needs a satellite dish to access a variety of channels and content generation. In 2014, StarTimes unveiled an android smartphone and tablet for the Kenyan market. The devices StarTimes P40 phone and StarPad P80M sold for Kshs. 6,999 and 13,999.
