Armenians use to have their channel on TARBS... Looks like they're coming back.<br /><br />Anyway, $35 for one channel is way too much...

You can see what Globecast are up to.<br />They will be known as the dribs and drabs carriers but to pay $35 for one channel that an outrageous rip off. All this that has been happening makes TARBS look Very cheap, sometimes I wonder the real reason why TARBS was removed.<br />THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME SKELETONS IN SOMEONES CLOSET.

Well they need 1200 paying $35 a month<br />$42000 a month<br /><br />That has to cover bringing the signal from the other side of the planet. Maybe via 76.5E hmmm.. Plus capacity on B3 (bandwidth inside Globecasts mux)<br /><br />As for comparing costs I recall a company called Tarb's offering 2 Filipino channels for over $60 a month at one stage...

will most likely come in on fibre as that how they get that new Iranian Channel on B3 as Armenian Public TV is on the Globecast Platform in the USA so i would say would come over the same way as IPTR ( NITV ) comes over that way <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <br /><br />they charge $22.95 for it in the USA<br />http://www.globecastwtv.com/ch_armenia.htm<br /> <br /> <small>[ 10.

This also <br />happened with most customers heaps of the time they subscribed to the Arabic package and got the rest <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

Yes, the early days things were a bit expensive, no value for you money.
