I just wanted to know if i purchased a splitter like: http://www.satplus.com.au/category22_1.htm

and connected it to the wall socket not the satellite, and connected one to the new UBI box and another to the old box could i watch UBI on the new and Globecast free channels on the old.

No!
The best way out of this for you is to buy a duel output LNBF so you have 2 cables coming from the dish and each go to either boxes,
this way they are totally independant of each other.

Use caution here. The old TARBs boxes were crippled to only work on TARBS transponders. They will work on some FTA transponders but not others. They are limited to (I think) 12(?) channels per transpoder - any more and they just don't work!

Best use for an old TARBS box is as a pot plant stand!

They make good paper weights too.

its cool i found on the UBI webside on the front page top right
"Help with Technical Troubleshooting"
you can use the new box to see FTA tv and UBI at the same time so i can get all the globecast channels which are fee on the same box.
