I just got a curtesy call from WMI telling me that they started an FTA broadcast. They will try to send a hit to the decoder boxes tomorrow to program them to pick up the new channels. They also said in a bout 10 days I should receive the information package by post. Their package will cost $40.00/month. Minimum commitment is 6 months (paid in advance). Payment methods are: Credit Card, Direct Debit, Cheque and Money Order.<br /><br />They will encrypt their braodcast once they finalise the decoder boxes they are organising. They will mary the sim card to the box. They said that customers will need to purchase the decoder box from them. It costs $200.00

Hi pkid thanks for the info, did they tell you when MBC will start? and if there are any more channels to come?

They said they'll add the MBC and Arabya in a couple of week stime (not confirmed!) As far as the channel line up is concerned, it'll be what's on this page http://www.worldmedia.com.au/mysat.phtml<br /><br />Currently, I'm picking up ART Variety, LBC, Aljazeera, Future TV and Nour Sat. They're all currently FTA, and I'm picking them up on my old TARBS box (MDS 3100). All I had to do is realign my dish to PAS8 and punch in the frequency 12646 H and S/R 28066 and then press "Force Remote Update"<br /><br />Cheers

I rang WMI and they said that those channels will be free 2 air till 1 December, then they will encrypt them.<br />They will send info out next week to the people who left their details giving them information on how to subscribe, and a contract. If you send the contract before 1 december you will get incentives, but you will have to pay in advance.

Just put in the frequency 12646, symbol rate 28066 and polarisation H, and then choose "Force remote update"

I heard on "Radio Tomorrow" Arabic radio from Sydney on the Internet an advertisement for WMI saying that they will release their new Channels plan tomorrow Thursday at 8 AM.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Captain

Hope Wmi gets it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> good radio station

WMI ????? Panglobal its all confusing, Horizon TV?? Can someone fill me in what in the hell are the three above and how they fit in the picture on Pas 8<br />If you look at Lyngsat they show PanGlobal for both Transponders??? Confusion???

What happened to Horizon? where do they sit in this equation.

I think PanGlobal will run the DTH platforms for Horizon.<br /><br />You will find the ethnic channels on Pas 8 which makes you suspect PanAmSat has intentionally taken TARBS off air. Who knows they may had already had talks with them in the last few months before TARBS went off air..

Hi<br />When I was changing channels this morning I noticed there was no picture on WMI channels and the sound is cutting off can someone check please.<br />Dan
