If it cost UBI one cent UBI should recover cost, I hope UBI is reading this.

Has been stated plenty of times if UBI wish to carry it and Cyprus states it MUST remain FTA then UBI can either like it or lump it.<br /><br />UBI ain't being forced to carry it

Thats right Apsattv. UBI have asked for permission to carry the signal on a tempory basis. This is because the tender is still up for negotiations even as we speak. UBI are not forced to carry this signal. What is certain is that if UBI win the rights to Cyprus Sat, they will not be exclusive and the signal will remain FTA as per the media release from Cyprus Sat themselves. Also, if UBI win the contract for distribution in Australia, then it will be on a profit basis for UBI. <br /><br />As for the rest, I do not like how some members play dumb and insult our intelligence. No one expects anyone to do anything for free.

Again, for all those who missed the media release from Cyprus Sat that I posted earlier, here it is again:<br /><br />http://www.cybc.com.cy/anakinosi.html<br /><br />And its all Greek to you!

Cyprus sat is off air. I wonder if there is anything wrong.

I'm with UBI and it's working for me using my TARBS box. In fact it's the only channel of Greek nature, the rest are having technical difficulties and are offline.<br /><br />However I cannot find RIK SAT on my FTA box. I wonder if it's been encrypted?

I don't think its encrypted. The screen says "service unknown"

Sigma is playing on mine but the rest are not running proper

Rik Sat is off air.

I'm sure the Greek channels will return shortly.

RIK is working for me on my tarbs box<br /><br />BTW it has moved so delete and rescan

I deleted it and rescanned. It did not come back. It is completely gone.

im watching it now my tarbs box its not gone

Well its gone from my FTA box. I am gonna have to get a Tarbs box and subscribe to Tarbs again. But I will not give them 12 months subscription ever again (Tarbs/UBI).

if u do abit of reading u would of known already u dnt need to pay no more then 1 month ahead anyway <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/default/rolleyes.gif" />

I sold my last Tarbs box.

Yeh because I don't think anyone will go for anything else. That is pay for more than 1 month.

Did you loose any money with TARBS?

So can anyone tell me how I can pick up Rik Sat in the mean time? What frequency is it on? It could take atleast 2-3 weeks to subscribe to UBI.

its on 12425 H 22500 but seems to be encrypted

Unfortunately I lost some money as did lots of others. But I am not complaining. I feel more sorry for the workers that lost their jobs.

Thanks for your help, Lazer.

Any former TARBS World TV subscribers who made advance subscription fee payments for periods of more than one month for which services were not received, are eligible to receive UBI WORLD TV subscription credit for payments that had been made. Terms and conditions about this ‘Goodwill Offer’ are available by calling the Customer Care Centre on 1300 400 800.

The TARBS Team was one hell of a team!

Thanks Liski. I will call tomorrow.

I hope the previous employees were absorbed by UBI. Its not good when workers lose their jobs under those circumstances.

Those that wanted to come back did - most of them found jobs by the time UBI started.

I guess that UBI have picked up some rights to RIK Sat. This is why it has been encrypted.

I can still pick it up here on my FTA receiver.<br /><br />Ubi must be still changing things around<br /><br />mixo

RIK SAT will be FTA sometime this morning.

Yes FTA again now on 12425 H 22500

Yes, but I wonder how long it will remain FTA. Decision is pending in the next few days. I can see it through my crystal ball. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

You have a Crystal ball?

Only in certain areas. I don't have a crystal ball like yours though that seems to know a little bit about everything.

whats the crystal ball telling you evagoras??

wow Liski... many thanks for those GREAT news! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Will call Ubi tomorrow!!!

Crystal ball is telling me lots. What is it you want to know, Lazersat?
