The Digicel Play stand alone TV dish on display at NBC beach at Lorengau caught the attention of a steady stream of people.
The people were intrigued with a technology designed for a rural setting, powered by solar energy.
An elementary school teacher from Lengkau village, Mr Joel Lawrence, said he is going to get one soon.
"I am suprised, it’s cheap. TV dishes used to cost several thousands. We waste money on useless things so I might as well buy one. I never really understood the advertisement until now," he said.
The reseller doing the display, Mr Kiapin Chapau said Manus had a lot of problems with EMTV so this would be the panacea.
