I'll stick to my old box.<br />Back in the foxtel piracy days (Goldies) Foxtel shut off by accident more of there customers then the pirated cards creating a headache for them.

Hmmmm.. Does it happen only on the new boxes or generally on all types?

By the sound of it the new ones

Then, most probably the ECM, UBI sends to merge the card with the box and authorize the channels does not work with the new boxes firmware, or they may have some mistake in their ECM for the new types.

Not Mr ECM, that rings a few bells!

Looks like no solution today according to UBI staff.

If the subscriber has called UBI they will be called very soon.

Liski,<br /><br />Is that to advise them of a solution or tell them they have to wait for next week?<br /><br />Eng.

Engineer, Do you need subs to watch SHOW, LIG and the rest right now? They had a month free period for the new subs but have no idea if its expired or not.

Not so much for me personally as I only watch it on Monday nights but I believe most other Serbian people equate Pink+ with the whole Balkan package, no Pink+ no package.

Fsking,<br /><br />What has that got to do with it. There are subscribers who have paid their bill yet for the last three days are not receiving their entitled service.<br /><br />Eng.

Just wait and the customer will be advised of the outcome.<br /><br />Regarding Pink Plus there was a problem with the uplink from Europe and should be alright now.

Engineer, some ppl still be able to get some channels with no subs and I tought it might be something to do with that free offer. I just checked if you have the same.

No probs Fsking, bit of a misunderstanding.

they got you angry again vlad <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> calm down :)I've learnt not to expect much from ubi. cos subscribers are silent as a lamb, provider is careless as a cow !!!<br /><br />btw im exteremly fed up with ppl constantly sucking up to ubi or any other provider. who the hell these ppl???<br /> <br /> <small>[ 10.

There is life outside computers.

LOL good to see u back Lazer! Satfreak Pink on PAS8 is annoying with constant break ups..and more and more problems on PAS8 regarding serbian channels with "No Signal" msgs. I wonder wats cookin behind it all??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" />

Time will tell (7 - 10 days max) and I wish I could take some $100 bets here...

Satfreak,<br /><br />You said that TV+ are working on getting Pink Extra. Will Pink Extra be added in place of RTS?

N Milic,,<br /><br />I am not aware 100% of the answer.. I am advised that they planning to deliver all channels including RTS... <br /><br />but I will not know till I see the right person later this week

The problem is Satfreak that TV+ don't have the necessary software, it seems, to set up and download the channel auth's, SDT's... into the Mentor STB31x0's. They should invest their effort in getting the old TARBS STU's working, if they want to have a chance in hell to start up shop soon.<br />This talk of encryption of the channels...There is no way in the world they can use MDS when they don't even have the set up necessary to update the mentor STB's.<br />UBI has "stumbled across" a left over TARBS owned copy of the software development platform. Fat load of good that's doing em as they cannot quite drive it properly <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" /> Mind you, at least they have it :|<br />Subscribers with newer STB3110 have now absolutely NO chance of previewing the TV+ line up as the box’s don’t get the channel auth’s downloaded. Most of the STB3100’s work if FTA mode. Yes, STB3100 does work in pure FTA.<br />…back to my point. If TV+ and others don’t concentrate on getting people with ALL ex TARBS STU’s working ASAP, they will most certainly and unfortunately lose the race. :~(

today on sbs radio in serbian, i heard that tvplus will cease the FTA transmission/preview on 1 jan, to continue the service, you must subscribe. but after reading previous posts, i doubt that will happen<br /> <br /> <small>[ 13. December 2004, 07:37 AM: Message edited by: reuder ]</small>

Exactly, how can you expect anyone to hand you money and they haven’t even seen the goods yet? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br />Well, they can, but when they shut down FTA they might as well shut down shop as there will be no reason to stay open <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" />
