Iranian TV Services on Globecast - AUS-CITY Message Forums

Announcement on radio in Melbourne this week in Iranian that special Australian/Iranian channel will be launching with GlobeCast Jan/Feb. Some FTA then encryption - will listen again to get more details. Hasta luego

Are you sure?? that would be great. I called UBI, TV+ and Mysat all said they are not going to bring Iranian channels. By the way what does Australian/ Iranian mean?? confusing!!!!!!

I am sure. Special service edited for Australian market but for Iranians according to radio. Will try find more details.

Thanks Gonzalez! I can't wait to watch those services and wish Globecast all the best.

Maybe try to call GlobeCast to find out and make sure its them and which satellite - anyone know a number for them in Melbourne

Good Idea. I'll try to find their number.

Have heard should start March - Iranian Pacific Services Television (website up-soon). Some Sports/soccer included they say

That is great! It would be great if they start in Feb, before world cup qualifying in Asia begins. I saw Globecast has Tapesh TV, NITV,....on their pakage in North America. Why not in Australia? This is the only way to watch quality persian programs and Iranian Soccer in Australia. I am confident they would have lots of costomers.

Gonzalez, Do you know where I get information? where do you get information? You are not persian are you? Can I email your information to my friends? Thanks for the information.

This is great. Has anyone got more details on this?

Mahal, Are you Iranian?

A birdie said Iranian TV service website will be availabe by the end of December 2004. I just heard on SBS persian-Farsi language program. More info tommorow on Radio 2ser 9:00 AM sydney time (in persian).

I heard on the radio 2ser that the soccer on the 9th Feb will be FTA on B3

Hi Farseas, Yes I am Iranian. Mahal

Hi Mahal, I am here in Canberra. Please let us know your information about Iranian TV. I'll share information with other Iranian friends here in Canberra. Wish you all the best.

Hi All, It is now official as per 2 SER announcement. The web page for the new Iranian TV is www.iptr.com.au has all the details on subscription. Tel 02 9763 2525 The Iran Soccer will be broadcasted on Feb 9th FTA on Optus B3

go to www.iptr.com.au all the details are listed Mahal

is it $49.95 a month for one channel or is it more then one channel??

Bit expensive just for one channel

yes and look at it if u dnt have ur own dish u have to go on a 36 month contract minimum and pay and extra $10 so ends up being $60 a month for one channel <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/default/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/default/shocked.gif" />

HI MAHAL THANKS FOR YOUR GOOD NEWS I HOPE WE WILL FINALY HAVE SOME PERSIAN CHANNELS DO YOU KNOW THIS IPTR WILL BE PART OF UBI OR GLOBE CAST?AND WHAT CHANNEL/S THEY WILL HAVE? PLEASE GIVE ME SOME INFO BECUSE PERTH IS TOO FAR TO EVERY THING THANKS

IPTR will be part of the Globecast platform, Optus B3

there is a message on Ad hoc channel on B3 from iptr iranian tv radio coming soon is any body know when they will start

Romurs: They probably start last week of Feb free to air but will be encrypted in march. Iran_Bahrain soccer match will be broadcasted early Feb. Call the number. They love to talk to people(They are ready for long conversation!!!).

They are going to mix NITV and AFN programs(Lots of Politics and talking i would guess). It seems (maybe for sure)they are opponents of Tapesh TV(politically). AFN ia available on the net.

I HOPE THEY DONT BRING ANY POLITICAL TV WE ARE SICK OF THESE BULLS TAPESH WASNT BAD I DONT KNOW ABOUT AFN BUT NITV AND CHANNEL ONE ~~~~~ !!!!!

AFN is a TV owned by Ali Reza Meibodi. Tapesh was a bit more acceptable because doesn't go to extrem instead more entertainement. Hope at least they have lots of sport like soccer. Seems we are not very lucky yet!!!!

hi farseas new test signal on b3 it could be the iranian one it shows juish men dancing now(12 noon wed)but it could chang by the way what size dish do u have ?

Hi Shedan, I have not seen, it is just Globecast colour bands. My dish is 70cm in diameter, I am using TARBS equipment. It is a nice day with lots of Australian day programs around the Canberra today. I have not checked TV since last night. Do you know which channel the iPTR would be? Have you ever called them? Do you have any new info?

NO I DIDNT CALL THEM BECAUSE OF TIME DIFFERANC WITH NSW WHEN I COME HOME THEY ARE CLOSE THERE IS TWO CHANNEL EMPTY AT THE MOMENT ON B3 GLOBALCAST IF EVERY THING GO RIGHT MAY BE ONE OR BOTH OF THEM WILL BE IRANIAN CHANNELS HAVE U SEEN IPTR PACKAGE ON THIER SITE !!!!!!!!! OTHER THAN 2 OR 3 CHANNEL THE REST IS (AASHGHAL) WHAT DO U THING DOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF RECIVER AND ENCRYPTION SYSTEM THEY WILL USE?

I have seen them. I'll try to call them and find out. I am very disappointed that they are going to bring two brainwashing political channels. I can not pay for such low quality programs. I expected that they combine some programs from NITV(only good parts) and Tapesh. But I think They are living in 100 yeas ago and so closed_minded group(hope I am wrong). I,ll find out anyway.

ARE THEY IRANIAN ? THEY MUST BE BECAUSE OTHERS DONT DO THIS TO THE BUNCH OF REFUGEES IDONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRONG WHIT OUR PEOPELS THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE AND ENTERTAIN OTHERS BUT WHAT THEY DO? UNDER THE NAME OF IRAN THEY FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER I HOPE THEY BRING A CHANNEL FAR FROM THIS BULL!!!!

Shedan, I share your veiw but the bottom line is that we do not pay and do not support them. Let them make their business and see what they are up to. It seems they do not have a proper business plan. On one hand they want to be a community TV(as they say on the phone), and on the other hand they want to be a business to make money. This is similar to the cheating that Mullahs are doing to Iranian people inside Iran. It is better for them to clear their minds. I hardly believe that they are able to be educators( As far as I know) but I think we should let them try. I hope there would be some good hands behind them. I wish FOXTELL would bring Iranian Channels.I'll try to call them this afternoon when I go home from work.

FARSEAS IDONT THINK FOXTEL BRING ANY IRANIAN CHANNEL AND WE WAIT TILL TO SEE WHAT IS NEW CHANNEL I HAVE 3 METER DISH IN MY BACK YARD AND I WATCH ALOT OF SPORT CHANNEL AND ALSO IRB3 FROM IRAN FREE THEY HAVE VERY GOOD IRANIAN SERIALS AND LOTS OF GOOD PROGRAMS MOST OF THE SPORTS BRODCAST LIVE SPECIALY SOCCER IF U R KORD OR TURK U CAN WATCH LOTS OF CHANNELS ALL FREE EVEN U DONT NEED 3 METER DISH 2.4 IS OKY AND IT CAST U AROUND $600 MOTORIZED DISH + POSITIONER + GOOD RECIVER AND EVEN U CAN GET THE NEW COMMING IRANIAN CHANNEL FREE AS I HAD IT BEFOR WHEN TARB HAD NITV ,PARS,TAPESH AND CHANNEL ONE JUST WHAT U NEED IS THE PLACE TO PUT THE DISH IN UR BACK YARD

Shedan, Thanks for info.It is not possible for me at the moment because some very tall tree have surrounded my house. The installer said it is not possible. When I move to sydney next year I'll try it. I have a house on top of the hill in Sydney. BTW Foxtell said they will bring Iranian TV. Also IRIB3 will be coming on cable soon.They have soccer and some good Serials but their political programs and news are full of lies. I have broadband and sometime watch it. Their programs has agood quality on the net(I have broadband) but the bit rate is very low for soccer matches. So, I am not happy to watch soccer on the net, I prefer TV. Also I prefer LA(US) Farsi TV rather IRIB3. Tapesh was the best for me. I just heard Tapesh 2 has started on Hotbird 4 on globecast banquet. I am wondering why globecast does not bring T2 on its banquet on Optus B3. They said on the phone that iPTR is going to bring US signals from Israel.Downlink in Israel and would be sent to Globecast in Australia.

farsseas I also hope some body bring t2 or any good one maybe t2 moved to HB4 for this reason we will see in the near future but if they uplink any iranian channel from eastern side they may use ticom 3 or tlstra 10 as a intermidiat platform any way we wait about irb3 it is more than a year they wanted to bring it to ku band which can be recive by small dishes but they did noting specialy it is good for sydney whith those apartements another iranian channel (tamash )moved from tlstra 12 may be this one is the one keep me informed if u get any news thanks

T2 would be great.

IPTR has Started on B3 the channel which was named TEST is now named IPTR so u will need to re scan to get the right channel ID the channel is showing a IPTR Info Card 12525 V 30000 [ 14. February 2005, 01:01 PM: Message edited by: -.Lazer.- ]
