I guess it will arrive when UBI and TV Globo reach an agreement.

This doesn't sound good at all.

Why doesn't everyone just wait and see what happens instead of speculating. Either way TV Globo will prob be shown in Australia.

Yes and like I said they want more $$$$ and I still would not be surprised if they go to another company like select tv mainly because they will get away with more than what UBI are prepared to pay. But will select TV get the customers, think of that TVGI.

If TV globo goes with Select tv ad joins TV chile we will make a decision what company we want, for me I want TV globo but the wife loves the collection of channels that UBI has to offer and we all know we have to please our women.<br />Some how I think if TV globo goes to Select tv the pair of channels Tv globo and TV Chile will cost you more than all our channels on UBI.<br />Only time will tell.

By the way our friends have signed up with UBI and they told us to forget about Tv Globo if it comes to UBI so be it but if it goes elseware we cant subscribe to two companies.<br />And the main reason we are holding off is UBI has a stronger chance to supply English channels where the others cannot because it would cost them extra to uplink (It has been explained on this forum before I read it someware)<br />If i'm correct UBI is the only company that owns its own Uplinks in Australia and around the world.<br />Can someone please confirm that.

EVERYONE IS WATCHING THIS FORUM FROM THE CHILEAN COMMUNITY WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS,U.B.I IS YOUR TURN TO GET THOSE 250 CUSTOMERS BACK 250X60=15000 DOLLARS A MONTH IS A LOT OF MONEY TO LOOSE JUST FOR ONE CHANNEL,TVCHILE IS ABSOLUTLY NOTHING COMPARE TO CHILEVISION.<br />GET CHILEVISION YOU WONT REGRET IT...

Even without a Chilean channel the UBI Spanish package has been a HUGE success!!<br /><br />Those 250 people are people who think the world starts and ends with TV Chile. I don't blame them for watching TV Chile since it's FTA at the moment.<br /><br />I'm sure with the addition of TV Globo the Portuguese will also be another success.

But could you imagine what would happen if UBI got Chilevision?.

For $15,000 a month even Globecast won't put it up.. and thats not including bringing the channel to australia..

Greedy Pricks.

WITH 15000 DOLLARS EXTRA A MONTH ANY REAL BUSINESS WOULD DO BETTER BUT THE POINT IS 15000 DOLLARS SO FAR,IN SIX MONTHS IS GONNA BE 70000 DOLLARS A MONTHS,I AM NOT A MAGICIAN BUT U.B.I WILL LOSE MORE SPANISH CUSTOMERS TO SELECTV..I WISH MRS BOULOS COULD SEE THIS TOPIC OR AT LEAST SOMEBODY WITH PULL AT U.B.I NOT SHI T KICKERS..

We are all shit kickers on this forum, My Crystal ball tells me lots of things as you know My crystal ball tell me that Boulos is very busy at the moment, Hummm Now I wonder what part of the world he or she is now in. Don't worry about getting info back to the top brass somehow it always get back whats said on this forum.Geee Typing with a Linux browser is different.

Tracesat,<br /><br />How do you reckon they are going to loose more customers when heaps a joing UBI for the great selection of Spanish channels.<br /><br />Just cause they are watching TV Chile doesn't mean they have subscribed to SelecTV. I'd like to see what happens when TV Chile gets encrypted.

for your information those people are buying the boxes for hundreds or you can ask the U.B.I installers,they paid 25 dollars for the ex tarbs boxes and sell them for 150 dollars not a bad profit is it? but at mean time they are connecting Chilean people to SELECTV with the new boxes provided by new supplier,open your eyes buddy.we will see in two more months for those people they are not interested in any spanish speaking channel except a channel from the home land.

Mate i'm on your side here, I would like to know how much UBI have been screwed by tv globo. I wonder if It will be worth it, and I wonder how may will subscribe to it.

Phil, <br /><br />you have PM.

Will answer tomorrow, I'm in the lounge room watching a DVDat the moment with the Dreambox keyboard in my hand, I love all my toys.

I have a spare 20,in monitor just for the Dreambox /Keyboard/web browser combination in my lounge room so I can watch TV ( all channels) and aus-city all at the same time.

Guys,<br /><br />back to the subject again...<br /><br />I just received an email back from TV GLOBO.<br />We can subscribe it now from UBI and it is free until the end of October.<br />My question is:<br />Is it already on air ??<br /><br /><br /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" />

As far as i know its not on yet<br /><br />As Liski would of posted it as Being On Air in the UBI Info Forum if it was on Air <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

Good Point.

Just heard that TV Globo in the USA costs $US10 a month extra, so thats approx $13 Australian. UBI have it for good price, its cheaper here than USA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" />
