Simple m8.<br /><br />There's 1000's of Humaxes and other systems floating around doing nothing.<br />Let the customer have their own system and sell them a card.<br />More revenue for UBI, less expense for ppl, and less rip-off merchands around.<br /><br />If not Ir2, make it Via or anything else that ppl can buy standard CAM for.<br /><br />I'm not talking about card sharing which can be killed in it's infancy by lowering the price to eg. 39.95/mth. With that price, who will be bothered, except a few Sat nuts like us? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" /> <br /><br />With MDS that is hacked to death and MUST BUY STB, it will be much less revenue over longer period of time. <br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />scorpio<br /><br />p.s. with off-market box, you'll be able to watch any FTA like Croatian, Turkish or Dutch channel too.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 06.

You can't use a mentor card on any other box period.<br />You have to be joking if UBI are going to spend MILLIONS just so you can use the old humax's that you cant use on foxtel/austar anymore.

Polish chanels:<br /><br />TV Polonia<br />Polsat<br /><br />and Piervyi Kanal

Yes Phil, you're %100 right about the friggen Humax boxes spread around like a fire bomb with all goodies but ended with a big drama when Foxtel replaced the encryption with Ird2. They're still good boxes for FTA and others (Optus / Aurara). Its just a bit sad/funny, how many people have lost heaps of money with Dish/LNB adjustments, additional installation of Dish/LNB + Switch, then re-allignment and so on..

Full package for $39.95. This is my Christmas wish as well.

Laser,<br />I was not around for the last 1.5 years due to the lond trips to overseas so all I remember, fox changed the system from ird1 to ird2 but obviously they used videoguard as well as ird2 but when did they changed to NDS that I do not know. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Irdeto 2 for fox is for there old service all new installs fox do is NDS now they will phase out irdeto 2 as soon as everyone has been converted to the so called " Digital Service "

Thanks for the info, now I'm updated with a new version of foxie...

This thread was started to give people a chance to express their wishes regarding future UBI channels and has now gone a different path.

Just to buy the licence to use Irdeto will cost you Millions before you the Pay TV company even buy a box. And by the time you buy 30,000 Boxes + cards see how much that will cost you.

Hmmmm .... one thing at the time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/default/rolleyes.gif" /> <br />My info is (correct me if I'm wrong) that Licence for Irdeto2 is about $20.000/year plus $4 for each card once off. Figures taken from New Skies rep. and they are for the systems of 3-5000 subscribers.<br />What's your exact number? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/default/cool.gif" /> <br /><br />In regards to the boxes .... as far as I know, UBI declared themselves only as CONTENT PROVIDER, means they have NOTHING to do with customers hardware. Correct?<br />On top of that it will be up to the customer either to organize hardware themselves or to ask UBI to call outsourced company to do so.<br /><br />BTW, MDS cost too, maybe TOO MUCH compared to Ir2 because you have to buy the MDS card and MDS BOX, and you can only watch their service and nothing else. And, of course, you have to buy 1000's of boxes up front from only one supplier - Mentor.<br /> Have any figures on that? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/default/cool.gif" /> <br /><br />On the other hand, as I wrote before, 1000's of Humaxes and others are already around, and the only thing those ppl need is either only card or somebody to re-align the dish and the card.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />scorpio<br /> <br /> <small>[ 07.

Heya! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />I maybe got the answer why is UBI still using MDS.<br />Friend of mine who is doing some work on behalf of one of their contractors - repositioning the dishes, replacing faulty boxes and installing a new one told me that almost 50% of boxes that he's installing have TARBS sign on them.<br />That means that Mike boy & Co stil have a few thousands of boxes that they have to get rid of, which means that they don't have to invest in naw boxes.<br />We'll see what will happend when they run out of old stock.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />scorpio

Those TARBS boxes that are getting installed do not belong to UBI they belong to the sub-contractors and they are selling them to the subscriber. UBI do not sell boxes at this point in time.
