Apparently they are using the TARBS STU only until the 15 December and then they will replace the TARBS STU with a TV Plus STU. If this is the chase do not give them the TARBS STU as they belong to you and only you. There is no need for them to take it away from you.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 01.

maybe they need to give them the tarbs box as a trade to get the cheap install price

Maybe

Then, Please someone let me know the trade price, you may get a bit more from someone who is waiting some cheap MDS box to join to UBI.

Old Tarbs boxes were belong to PriceWaterCoopers as part of Tarbs's loss recovery assets except the ones which were sold to the customers for about $180.00 before they went bankrupt. So, If those boxes were not purchased by user, how the hell they gonna offer a trade-in price. Don't they need some sort of ownership docs? It may be a bit risky for a new company dealing with illegal business. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks...

how do u know if TV PLUS hasnet bought the boxes from PriceWaterCoopers ??

The last I've heard is that one has bought the rights to the TARBS boxes.

If thats the case then UBI will be in deep shit as they are using those boxes to subscribe the old Tarbs cutomers with $49 connection fee! So, if both companies purchased the boxes, who will know whose boxes belons to whom! But if both company owned by the same people then who cares whose box anyway.

who cares who owns the boxes just use them they wont come around and collect them if u dnt own them that cost money which they dont have not worth collecting the boxes will cost more then wat the boxes are worth<br /> <br /> <small>[ 01. December 2004, 12:27 PM: Message edited by: Lazer ]</small>

I wish I kept and not send the box back to Tarbs before I went to Europe. It just happened so quick and by the time I was back, Tarbs was allready gone. Now, I'm still checking around to find a shit box to join. What can I say, its purely bad luck.

yeh i saw one on ebay yesterday was a few mins to go and it sold for about $150<br /><br />BTW i never purchased my box but if and when the times comes for me to use it with UBI or whoever i will use it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

If you know someone wants to sell one please either let me know by sending an email or ask them to contact me directly as my email adress can be found in my profile @forum's contact list.

Thanks a lot guys, but I would like to spend less than that as I do not know how long UBI will be using MDS. Anyway, I will call them and get the info from first hand.

Do you have Sydney Tel.No.as well?

1300 766 777 If you can't get connected, then there is only that Melbourne number

Thanks a lot, I will try that number first. Who knows, they might have a Sydney distributor.

STEATH MEDIA - SYDNEY<br />02 9150 8067<br /><br />STELATEL COMMUNICATIONS - MELB/NATIONWIDE<br />1300 766 777

Great! Thanks a lot Liski. Hope it will help me to get it at reasonable price with a quick delivery.

FYI <br /><br />There is no mention in the Vesti add of a Croation channel..<br /><br />It says Now on the PAS8 Satalitte you can see<br />PINK, BN & BK and soon you will see RTS and MKSAT as well as other channels...<br /><br />$99 install fee is for existing Antenna and Box.. TV+ Takes the Old MDS Box and supplies a new Irdeto 4 Box..<br /><br />No MDS box and no Antenna then $199 install..

Any Arabic channels on TV plus? they keep delaying things! call back in January she says... somehow I dont think they are serious.

good to see there will some competition around to keep all companies honest <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ 01.

It's all good but it would be better for the customer to keep the TARBS STU as it belongs to the customer and no one else.

they can keep the box if they choose but then the install cost more

Scrolling message on BNtv . "TV+ has exclusive distribution rights in Australia"<br /><br />Does that mean that UBI will loose that channel and therefore most of Serbian subscribers?
