I guess many of us have left it to the last minute to subscribe so that we can give the competition time to fill their transponders before deciding.<br /><br />The trouble is, I'm still not sure which way to go. PBS website is still under construction and I have no idea what their Arabic/english line up is. <br /><br />Can someone help me by listing all the current competitors for Arabic pay tv and channels if they know them.<br /><br />Or if they are already listed in this forum can someone tell me the thread. <br /><br />Thanks to everyone and good luck in your final decision. May the best Company win. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ 05. December 2004, 08:05 PM: Message edited by: Eddie ]</small>

really? Thanks Lazer. I didn't know. I have so busy lately, I haven't been following. <br /><br />So who else is here in AU besides UBI?

UBI and WMI? is that it?

yes for the time being TV plus might have some arabic also but havent said what there goin to have yet<br /><br />WMI and UBI are selling subscriptions now

WMI is good for Lebanese subscribers as it has the top two channels LBC and Future, but doesent mean others can't join.<br />Its just that its more suitable for Lebanese subscribers.<br />thats my opinion.

I couldn't see Future TV in the line up on the WMI website. Are we sure they have it?<br /><br />Does anyone know if UBI plan to include english channels?

Its not there... but can be seen on PAS8 along with the rest

Yes I just found the line up on WMI Mysat website<br /><br />http://www.worldmedia.com.au/mysat.phtml

yep thats it

Thanks Dan.<br /><br />But now that Future is there with WMI I'm even more confused who to choose. Without Future UBI would have been an easy choice.

Well I have chosen WMI, because the 2 channels are really good UBI has New TV and Tele liban and Heya TV<br /><br />WMI has Telemuire also so it makes 3 Lebanese channels

Isn't Telemuire a Religious channel only (or do they have ordinary shows on it also)<br /><br />Dan, Are you receiving them yet or still waiting? Do you get Future now?

Yes Telemuire is just a christian channel all about religion only. If you want that channel its 10 dollars more.<br />Yes Im watching WMI channels now including Future TV<br />It will be encrypted soon.

I hate to hassle you Dan, but do you know if the Mysat SmartCard will work on any receiver that takes a smartcard or does it have to be the WMI receiver?

no only on the mysat box... you MUST buy a mysat box for 200 dollars, if you dont want to pay just join UBI and use your TARBS box. There is no other way you MUST purchase the mysat box in order to watch WMI channels,

Thanks dan.<br /><br />I already have an ex-tarbs box as well as a Humax receiver, but at the end of the day, my decision will be based on channels and not set-up costs.<br /><br />Anyway, Thanks again for all your help and input.

no problems<br />Good luck in your choice (I'm sure UBI will never get one of the two channels but may get the other its not guaranteed, they may tell you we will just to grab subscribers but they may not get the channel.

They will be using Irdeto2 like most, But I can tell you there own brothers are screwing them with card sharing, This mob in Melbourne "The Mafia" or better called "??????????" they are smart! flogging foxtel/austar/and any other service that uses Irdeto2, I have been told that WMI and TV Plus on Pas 8 is on there chopping blocks added to the people already on there servers for fox and aust,<br />the hint is "Angharad" understand that and you will get my picture.<br />I say it again At least you can't card share MDS, Not yet anyhow.
