Something about the turnaround and transit costs.<br /><br />TV+ dont want to do two turnarounds like tarbs used to do so TV+ runs lean operation and saves $$<br /><br />With TARBS and again today with UBI<br />Original Content in Eurpoe<br />use RRSAT - for Contribution to Thaicom 3 costs $$$ per channel. Then Turnaround Tarbs PYRMONT to<br />PAS 8 costs more $$$ per channel. Here is 2 turnarounds with double costs means double customers to break even. Not a good business model... but then again where will UBI be in 6 mths..<br /><br />Now with TV+<br />Ok Russian channels are on crap sats and content is not in USA, so its harder to get content to PAS8 in Napa California so use NSS6 and do single turnaround in Europe for DTH KU and so it does the job.<br /><br />Serbian channels are in the US already, BK & PINK are already sold by Globeca$t in USA and BN just got signed by Globeca$t for USA sales.. I see good cost savings here,,,, ie cheaper costs for TV+ means more secure future than UBI...<br /><br />This is just a personal opinion,,<br /><br />Comments folks
