Vitron Kenya has finally addressed the YouTube outage on its 2 to 3-year-old Smart TV models, blaming older hardware and offering a cumbersome browser-based workaround rather than a true fix. The company subtly suggests upgrading to newer models, some of which now use LG's WebOS.

• Vitron Kenya's boss delivered the explanation via a TikTok video statement.
• The issue specifically affects Vitron TV models that are 2 to 3 years old, with newer models remaining unaffected.
• The proposed "fix" involves a factory reset, an "upgrade" to the YouTube app, and installing a web browser to access YouTube TV, which users report as mixed in effectiveness.

Kenyans are being warned about a surge in fake "Starlink Bundles" advertised on TikTok for Safaricom and Airtel users, promising "pure speed" with "no dish needed" at extremely low prices. These scams capitalize on the recent Airtel Africa and Starlink partnership announcement to defraud unsuspecting users.

• Scammers offer deals like 5GB for KES 55 (1 day) or Unlimited Data for KES 269 (30 days), significantly lower than standard market rates.
• A direct-to-mobile Starlink service is projected to begin in 2026, making current offers technologically impossible.
• The exclusive direct-to-cell partnership was announced between Starlink and Airtel Africa; Safaricom has no such direct-to-mobile partnership with Starlink for these services.
