hi <br />for the greek people, when i called ubi today they told me that a new greek channel called SIGMA is comming in the next few days to ubi platform and it is going to be on channel 61 instead of planeta tv. and then planeta tv will be on channel 64. you can actually see that there is a channel comming from beeping on channel 64. good luck for the greek.

I have said this before they are trying to finish one package at a time and Whilst I'm typing this more work is being done at the Teleports. Sometime what suppose to take two weeks take two months to do.

i know i'm just saying good luck for the greek. i am happy for them that's all.by the way why is it so clear and not busy at aus-city today

I know my Greek channels well and SIGMA is not one of them.Its not Greek.

Sigma TV is from Cyprus

that's what they told me it's SIGMA and it's comming in thois weeks. By the way isn't sigma a letter from he greek alphabet like alpha betta and all others. so this is greek isn't it?

www.sigmatv.com <br /><br />This channel is from Cyprus

k so this channel is comming soon. good luck i'm happy for you lazersat

For myself this so called Sigma channel from Cyprus that is going to be on Ubi has depressed me. It is a second rate channel and broadcasts poor programs.i hope that Ubi wont take up Greek channel space with Cypriot Channels because they are not even close to the motherland quality. I wish to see Greek channels picked from the following: Alter, Star, Mega, Antenna, Magic.

To What there ratings show Sigma seems to be the Number One channel in Cyprus with the Highest viewer ratings<br /><br /> http://www.sigmatv.com/nqcontent.cfm?a_name=announcements

Sigma, the leading television station in Cyprus, celebrates ten years of broadcasting this year. On the air 24 hours a day, seven days a week since 1995, Sigma attracts a mainly young, urban audience in the 18-45 age group. It currently rates first of six national broadcasters in terms of total viewership with a 33% mean share and 40% in its target 18-45 age group.

can it be watched in greece as well? or is just a local tv?<br /><br />while in cyprus i believe UBI should bring a channel from the turkish side of cyprus. As far as I know there are 25000 Turkish Cypriot in Australia and they are really connected to their homeland.<br /><br />EDIT: even a radio would make them happy. BRT TV and Radios are on TURKSAT 1C.<br /><br />http://www.lyngsat.com/turk1c.html<br /> <br /> <small>[ 28. October 2005, 01:54 PM: Message edited by: ShaRp ]</small>

Sigma might be the number 1 channel in Cyprus but the population of cyprus is around 500 000 and they have their own greek dialogue as well. I dont mind if it comes but i will mind if by bringing Sigma it will leave out a quality Greek channel.We just have to wait and see. And trust me if the Greeks wont get what they are waiting for they will not eventually subscribe to Ubi and that is the last thing Ubi wants, to miss out on having aboard a big chunk of the 500, 000 Greeks of Australia.

Masters,<br /><br />The Greek package hasn't even been completed yet and more Greek channels will be coming.

Ok.<br />Im chilling....he he he

Masters,<br /><br />Sigma is a very high quality tv station in Cyprus. It is very modern and caters for the younger generation. It broadcasts many movies and Greek content. All in all it is a very funky and hip channel. Good on to UBI for landing this one. I believe many people will enjoy it along with you Masters once you get a taste of it.<br /><br />Sharp,<br /><br />I believe it is not possible to bring a channel from the occupied areas of Cyprus as it is Internationally not recognised due to the illegal occupation of a sovereign nation. Australia does not recognise the occupied areas so if channels from there are broadcast here, you will find there will be a major diplomatic fallout.

Eva don't bring ur political thoughts here. this is not the place to discuss this issue. u might think that way but we're not interested in ur thoughts at all.<br /><br />For your information, kurdistan tv on UBI but there is no such country in the world. <br /><br />UBI is providing service for ppl living in Australia where ever they come from.

Yes lets keep to the topic and not get political please<br /><br />Enough said <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

OK <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

correct or not this is not the place to discuss these things <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

Also, the population of the Cyprus free arears is around 800,000. Sigma is a good catch for UBI and will cater for both Greeks and Cypriots. With a large Greek population in Australia, I think Sigma is going to be a winner for UBI. And once some of those channels you mention Maters, come on air, it will be up, up and away for UBI. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

Yes will be a Excellent Package for all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

Sorry Lazer, <br /><br />didn't mean to get political. I think I touched on a raw nerve. Sorry. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/default/shocked.gif" />

No problem <br /><br />Let just keep to the topic <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

ive come late onto this forum, but i have read through all da comments, i wasnt happy with what Sharp said about having a Cypriot Turkish channel, <br />but anyway this afternoon i saw the message on ubi that there was a new Greek Cypriot channel coming and when i was in Cyprus, 2 years ago, it was my favourite channel. <br />I am extremely happy and can't wait for the channel to start..Thank You UBI for choosing SIGMA i think it's an excellent move...

Yes, I think I did not do a good job of Public Relations this time! I was a little upset with those comments made by Sharp. It was a little offensive as many Cypriots here in Australia were forced from their homes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/default/frown.gif" />

Channel 65, one of da 4 new channels
