Laser,<br />You are pretty good in Russian! but what all this means? I'm lost! It's look like every ethnisity going to have their own Pay TV.

i just use altavista babel fish enter the website and it translates it to english if you know how to read russian goto the website and maybe you could explain it abit better <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ 16.

No, translation is good. What I can't understand - who is who here: TVPlus, MYTVPlus? And why so mutch attention to Russians. We are definetely not the biggest language group in Australia

dont know but i dont see all them surviving maybe 1 or 2 companys will stay alive the rest of them will fold i think there isent enough ppl to support all these companies <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

And we have to pick right one! Or wait?

i think we should wait and if we do join pay the subscription on a monthly basis wont be doing 6 - 12 months in advance ever again <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

I've never did, but I bought the box.

i did but never mind these things happen cant do much to prevent it oh well <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

They looked pretty solid and vent out so quick.

yeh <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />back to mytv plus the message says that there only goin to have 3 russian channels am i reading correctly ??

Well I'm going to &#1056;&#1091;&#1089;&#1089;&#1082;&#1080;&#1081; &#1044;&#1086;&#1089;&#1091;&#1075; today (a Russian video shop) and I'll ask them about this new company. Although the company doesn't look very solid, if they are telling to get more info from a video shop

and yes lazer - it does say there will be 3 channels. I just wonder which ones, since first channel russia (ORT) is going to be transmited through TVPlus

is that what the msg is saying to go to a video shop for more info???

I'm not absolutely sure which one are definetely Russian but on NTV Plus there are about 20 - 25 russian channels (others are just translation). Who knows which one they are picking up.<br />Here is NTV Plus website with long list of channels. www.ntvplus.ru<br /> <br /> <small>[ 16.

No information on what channels they going to run.<br />Saing it's confidential at the moment, but not Ch1 and not Soys

hhhmmm ok interesting <br />well it is cheaper to run channels on B3 then anywere else and there is still some room left on B3 for more channels <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />i suppose russian ppl will like this?? perhaps?<br /><br />thanks for the info <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ 16.

It depends what channels and what TV Plus has to offer.

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

I know there is ORT, NTV, RTR and RTVI. Regarding suyz I heard that this is just old programms of ORT so I would not even consider it as another channel

I'm afraid I can't. The only channels I was watching recently were ORT(CH1), RTR and NTV. I was in Russia last crismass but there were couple more FTA channels - nothing interesting. ORT and RTR for me about the same. I personally don't like NTV - too pro US. And they used to show news - Today in Israel <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> , Today in America <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> and only after Today in Russia. It was the main reason why I did not sign for Tarbs long time ago.

Yes, they(MYTVPlus) told me about Soys the same.

Kostya! Your message is full of R A B B I S H!<br />You don't know Russian TV Channells,even the names of the Channels<br /><br />Once again about US and Israel-It is not a political Forum!<br />From now I will ignore all your massages

Marvin! Channel "Soys* is a part of *First Cnannel Global* X-ORT for Russian ppl.oversies<br />TV Plus got a contract for both of them<br />Regards

Edward!This Man.....Talks all Rubbish!<br />NTV+ is a US version of NTVMIR,it is n o t h i n g<br />to do with TV+ and MYTV+(they want to be Pay TV Compananies in Australia!<br />TV+got a contract with 2 Russian Channels<br />MyTV+ got NOTHING! Regards,bradko

Edward! NTV+ is US version of NTVMUR and<br />it is single TV Company,nothing to do with<br />TV+ and MYTV

Yeah I know that NTV+ has nothing to do with TV+ and MYTV. When I went to that video shop, they gave me a form to fill out and a telephone adress. They said the comp will start up in 2 weeks. I think TV+ would be more reliable....but I gues MYTV is more flexible (you can choose your own packages).

Sorry Vlad79, my apologies, I shut up.<br />But I've never said that NTV Plus has anything to do with TV Plus or MYTV Plus. I refered to their site to look how many russian channels available. By the way they do providse them to part of Russia and most of the Europe. And this is from their website: www.ntvplus.ru/company-eng<br /> "NTV-Plus is the first and the only direct-to-home satellite TV system in Russia. It provides broadcasting of over 50 channels of various genres and with high quality independent of landscape or construction peculiarities. Thus, NTV-Plus is the unique satellite TV system in Russia. "<br />And again it is nothing to do with Australia, at least as far as I know <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" />

Edward! Yes,you can choose,but some good own you <br />can loose!<br />Regards
