I don't post much on this forum but I found out some very interesting information today that might be interesting to others
I found out today regarding TV Plus from a very realiable source. It seems that the TV Plus Management is the one who is selling pirated TV Plus smartcards for cash as they aren't getting any real subscribers lately.
Now if you think carefully what a smart idea for themselves, sell the pirated cards for cash, don't pay tax, collect more money as people think they will be able to watch for a long time and then close the doors of TV Plus.
I also hear that the reason BN is FTA is due to non payment from TV Plus to Globecast, what a funny way to piss them off!
Interesting I must say.

Thunder

Hmmmmm...interesting.
Or could it be that they're just looking for alternative ways of getting $$$$$$$$ to pay off debts to Globcast ???

Regarding TV Plus rumours he prob has at least an idea as he is working within the industry.

This thread is perfect for the following information, TVPlus management, what management?
TVPlus is replacing Pink Extra, a hugely popular channel, for A1 Plus. Now A1 Plus I'm sure is a great channel, but how many Macedonian subscribers does TVPlus have, to cater for? You would think that they'd concentrate on their main subscriber base, the Serbs, but no, TVPlus doesn't have a clue with what's going on.
It gets worse, TVPlus will remain a 4 channel slot provider. That means no matter how many channels they get, they'll only have 4 slots available. Time sharing anyone? No, didn't think so.
Why get channels when you can't show them?
Now, this isn't all TVPlus' fault. Yes, they're f*cked as hell, but I blame UBI aswell. Why are they letting a small company with jack all subscribers take away good channels? I mean, what is TVPlus offering them, that UBI can't, free lap dances?
The sooner TVPlus is wiped out, the better it will be for all.
Hurry up UBI and take them DOWN!

I agree night flight. This is just stupid. I honestly can't believe a company does business like this. It's really a disgrace the way they treat customers.

I guess the only way UBI could get the channels is behind closed doors. I don't know what the contract was between Pink and co, and TVPlus but if they could find a TVPlus violation to one of the clauses then I guess you'd have a fair argument that there was a breach in contract. UBI should get together with Pink and co, and come up with some sort of plan/agreement. I mean who would you prefer to distribute your channels, TVPlus, a small no name company or UBI a world platform? Also, whose got more subscribers, wouldn't you want your product exposed to the biggest audience? Also, who's able to offer more money TVPlus or UBI? The answer is clear, and the sooner the channels move to UBI the better.

This is the slogan I work by: TV Plus won the court case but UBI will win the war
There was and is a lot of people that didn't want UBI to keep Pink, but they will slowly understand that in the long run UBI will be able to provide a better service with better channels and services.
From what I can see, TV Plus are barely able to stay above the water and slow and surely they will sink but they are doing everything they can think of to keep going and try and survive but I know and most of you know that in a years time or even a months TV Plus won't be around.

Also, there has to have been a broadcast clause in the contracts. How can TVPlus not broadcast a channel, when advertisers have paid Pink to have their ads broadcast on the program. Surely, the advertisers have a broadcast agreement with Pink, where a guarantee is given that ads will be shown. There has to be some cracks in the contracts that UBI could exploit.

I don't see TV Plus surviving for long. Every few days I hear of people being offered pirated SCs for TV Plus by TV Plus employees, now how does that work?
