TVC down? - AUS-CITY Message Forums

Hi there, any of you in the "know" knows what is happening to channel 39? been showing a Technical Difficulties message for more than 12 hours. Would be good to know what's happening. Thanks

It's having Technical Difficulties. Not much more to say.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Liski: It's having Technical Difficulties. Not much more to say. <hr /></blockquote>No more much more to say? why reply then? It is quite obvious they are having technical difficulties hence the message on the screen, what my question really reads is if anyone know what the difficulty is. Cheers [ 11.

Hello Myself I am too waiting for chanel 39 to come back. Don't worry about silly answers. Ia ma from Melbourne and it is been away for one day as well, but I can still watch TVE . Maybe it is time for the company to give us the contract . I don't know. We'll wait and see.

TV Chile resting???

Saturday 11 th Dec at 11.00 pm in perth and still no sign of TVChile!!!! weird!!!! first pink now TVChile, maybe TVE is next??? [ 11. December 2004, 11:59 PM: Message edited by: megb68 ]

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by roy4hire: good to hear, replaced it with better spanish channels. get rid of that useless tvchile, which is absolute rubish. <hr /></blockquote>Listen mate, if and when we ask for useless contributions to this forum we'll call you, in the meantime go back to the circus you clown. If you don't like tvc then move on nobody is forcing you to watch it, do you have to highjack every thread where there is a mention of tvc? I bet your country has the best south american tv channel but you just can't get it here.....right? then you should take it up with them, or better still go back there, they need people like you. Cheers

Goodonya Myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey tv chile is gone from telsta 10 satellite does that mean anything i mean thats the uplink so if the uplink is gone will the channel return???

It might be transferred to NSS6 for uplink as UBI's new uplink sat would be NSS6. If so then you need confirmation for that sat and the new sat transponder freq/SR/FEC. If the uplink still on Telstar 10, then there is probably some problem from other sat transfers to Telstar 10.

Someone want to call Ernesto Lombardi over at TVC and find out what is going on... Last I heard UBI has NO sale rights to TVC just "testing" transmission rights... Also Last I heard TVC was droping the EU transmission of their channel.. UBI can get TVC of PAS4... i think but its encrypted so they will have some fun now.... hehehe it will be off for a while now I am sure...

TraceSat said something about olisat and tv chile here

Phil! to whom all the Complaines? This FORUM- Like 'a car without driver' And we all know, that UBI is Tarbs and all UBI mistakes Is Tarbs mistakes! What the point to complane? regards

What a sad person you are roy4hire, you're truly ignorant. You think every indian has to wear a bow a carry arrows, LMAO. My advice to you is, stop highjacking this thread, like I said nobody asked for "your" opinion and please learn how to write properly in english or at least get a spell checker. Njoy PS: If you are so proud of your country then let us know which one, unless shame prevents you to do so.

The deal between OLISAT and U.B.I is to bring TELEFE and TVCHILE for a special price..I think..

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by roy4hire: ... you all had to run away from your indian tribe. ... don`t foret your bow and arrows chieff and your rain dance. <hr /></blockquote>roy4hire, This is first & FINAL warning !

Just did a scan up and down and I am seeing ERT - Greek channel where TVC was.. is any body else seeing this as well??? Cheers

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Satfreak: Just did a scan up and down and I am seeing ERT - Greek channel where TVC was.. is any body else seeing this as well??? Cheers <hr /></blockquote>Yep, ETR showing on channel 39, does this mean that TVC won't be back?

They are showing ERT temporary while they fix the signal problem with TVC.

The UBI message has come back again. I just had a look at the Satellite B3 Optus line up chanel and I can still see TvC in there. It's not gone yet???

TVC will be returning to UBI once the technical issue has been resloved. TVC will remain as part of the Spanish Package.

Any ETA on the FIX getting done??? Have you thought of streaming it from JUMPTV????

Even JumpTV doesn't work.

www.beelinetv.com works very good . I was on it in the morning

BeeLineTV TVC is directly from www.tvc.cl (http://www.tvn.cl/sev/tvn.ram)

yes and that feed on there is very low quality the jumptv feed was much better

jumptv is back on

UBI told me they can't sell spanish package with only one channel going. We have to wait 2 weeks .Apparently they are going to have 4 channels in the package. ?????????????

yes dancefun its going to be TVE, TV CHile, Telefe and TV Globo anyone know why TV Chile os also off the channel list on the info channel???? i mean if its just technical it should still be there but if its gone it shouldn;t so is it gone for good!!!

Just got a bit of info (from the very reliable source) as to what is happening with TVC and UBI, all I can say is there is no much future there (please note this doesn't mean is gone from UBI), but to be fair to everyone who is after this channel I'll leave you a cryptic clue. "I view more than you can see" More will be revealed soon. Cheers

Uruguay, I just checked CH20 Promo Channel List and TV Chile is still listed as of 1754.

I view more than you can see??????

Myself, What is your "reliable source"? TV Chile will be back on UBI. If you've got something to tell the people who are after TV Chile you might as well tell them instead of leaving cryptic clues.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Dancefun: I view more than you can see?????? <hr /></blockquote>This is a cryptic clue, just work on it, I can't say much until I get clearence to do so, in the meantime get your brain working. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> Trust me, in the end it will make sense. NJoy

Liski, I get your point, cryptic clues is just a bit of fun while I get confirmation to declare the news. Never said tvc won't be back with UBI. My reliable source is a very high up person in TV Chile. Like I said, I'll mention everything I know once the deal has been completed.

My brain cells are obviously dead!!!!!

So are mine. Please Myself can you please give at least a different clue. For simple people like me or others . Thanks

guys, please don't think I want to make it harder for everyone but as soon as the deal is over you will be the first to know. If it helps, I have written the answer in one of my posts, don't stress too much if you can't work it out, the answer will be revealed shortly. I have been advised not to make any public announcement until the parties involved shake hands, I have been told that they are working their hardest to get this happening before the end of the year. Cheers and have a good weekend.

i think olisat is trying to brake into the Australian Market and wants to put some spanish package

Ohhhhhhh!!! not another Pay TV provider

I would like know what is the story with TV chile. I relly miss the channel , I hope that UBI would hurry it up with whatever is the problem. Also to Roy We do have a beutifull culture and if you don't like it to bad Mate. Go away. Sincerely Raymon

Also I have a real good connection in the High level inside of TVN and he said last night that U.B.I having serious difficulties in meeting the demands from the Television Nacional de Chile TVN. Due to old past with TARBS which for them is the same company and they want more securities of financial capabilities, they don’t want other fiasco that could be involve to TVN. As well TVN are upset on the fees that UBI want to charge to the Chilean community $59.95. Due the TVN only wants $1.75 per each subscriber; we will see in the next 48 hours a final result with UBI. If all negotiations are not reach in an agreement. TVN will star talking with FOXTEL for the marketing of his international signal in Australia. [ 18.

@ Maury, i don`t need to like it, and i don`t like that channel which is my opiion and i can give, then i was call a clown for it and i call you what you all are, which wasn`t offensive as that is how chilian want to be known. @ mysef, learn to spell, that`s the best you can do, oviously you got no balls between your legs girly man. look at your childish behavior mr know it all; here is what`s going on, tv let`s smoke a peace pipe either whith or both telefe & tvgobo are joining to deliver the channels as one provider to interational brodcasters. big deal!

roy4hire, like the old saying goes....truth does hurt... i'm not going to argue with such a low life, you have already been warned about your behavior. Please take my advice and learn how to write in English properly, it's not chilian it is Chilean, it's not oviously it is obviously and so on and on. Please take your racism somewhere else.

bandito I can guarantee you that FOXTEL wont take any international content TVC will never get passed the front door and this is direct from one of the Melbourne internal managers responsible for product development. I will make some calls next week and find out what is going on with TVC

Now for the rest of the members who have a genuine interest in TVC here are some updates; Their website shows the following: ************************************************* Actualmente, se realizan pruebas satelitales con TV Chile en Australia, como parte de las negociaciones para reiniciar la distribución de TV Chile en los sistemas de televisión por suscripción (pay tv) en ese territorio. Aún no se ha establecido ningún acuerdo en ese sentido. Como hemos hecho anteriormente, aconsejamos a nuestros telespectadores NO realizar gastos en equipamientos e instalaciones de ninguna naturaleza, en tanto no resolvamos la forma definitiva de llegada a ese país. Cuando ello ocurra, se avisará al público por esta misma vía. ************************************************* Basically they are saying that they are still in negotiations to have the signal back in Australia, there is still no outcome. They also advice everyone not to pay for equipment or installation until they resolve the delivery of the signal, which will be announced in their website. Ok,I can give you a bit more information, there is a new company in negotiation but is not Olisat or foxtel, is a new player on the block, and it will be delivered from another sat (not Optus B3), at this point I don't know if UBI will be able to keep the signal, some other information provided by Bandido is also true (price) More to come soon. Myself [ 18. December 2004, 08:14 AM: Message edited by: Myself ]

Dear Myself, Let’s concentrate in the subject and tries to ignore the commentaries racist and if they like them please you can go to another forum to talk about it, here is only for exchange news about TVN Thanks This is the important subject. Also I have a real good connection in the High level inside of TVN and he said last night that U.B.I having serious difficulties in meeting the demands from the Television Nacional de Chile TVN. Due to old past with TARBS which for them is the same company and they want more securities of financial capabilities, they don’t want other fiasco that could be involve to TVN.

If all negotiations are not reach in an agreement. TVN will star talking with FOXTEL for the marketing of his international signal in Australia.

Foxtel as mentioned by satfreak doesn't want any more foreign services because their strongest programming is English content and sports, although even with this they are struggling but that is another topic. TVN will be back no doubt, not from UBI the way things are going (there is always a possibility) but from a different supplier. [ 18. December 2004, 08:38 AM: Message edited by: Myself ]

Dear, Satfreak, Yes, please make your phone calls to FOXTEL and your will find a surprise on TVN. In regards the content of TVN let me assurance that for FOXTEL it’ not a problem due that this an Ethnic channel for a determinate community as Chileans which is the biggest on Spanish language. Marketing studies showing that for TARBS was representing a big part of revenues about of 15% of their 55.0000 of subscribers. Which 7500 multiply by $ 50 is $375.000 per month not to bad. Multiply by 12 months $4.500.000 per year. Interesting business do you think that for FOXTEL is not too bad? And this inf is for you too Myself.

I still beleive Foxtel won't take the channel. [ 18. December 2004, 08:53 AM: Message edited by: Myself ]

foxtel have said in the past if they get more ethnic channels they will be Arabic and Greek but Spanish is a long way away as the number or Spanish people in Australia is low compared to the ones above. If they do get a Spanish channel most likly it will be one like Univion or Telemundo which are most popular in the US Market and with Directv which owns Foxtel [ 18. December 2004, 09:52 AM: Message edited by: Uruguay ]

Someone said to me TV CHILE may come as free tv just like TVE or some italian channels but when tthat happens then we'll need a bigger dish. And Foxtel won't take the channel .No way!!

Bandoto Please dont take this the wrong way I have no interest in viewing any Spanish content but I can confirm without a bit of doubt that Foxtel are not interested in any spanish content.. I know their intentions as one of my mates went in hard to FOXTEL for Turk content just after TARBS went under..

I believe you Satfreak

@ roy why don't you keep your opionion to yourself, also I would like to know where u are from.

megb68 from where you get this news? TVChile audio on PAS8 3940H, 27690, 7/8 on Adhoc channel And I need to move the dish to get this sgnal? Thank you

Thats been there since the demise of TARBS back in July???

im from australia, i live here.

Debono, Can we take the signal down PAS8 and see TVN and How? as per megb68 informs..TVChile audio on PAS8 3940H, 27690, 7/8 on Adhoc channel Thank's

it C-band do u have a c-band dish such as a 2.3metre dish ??

Has anybody done it yet? That's it work? I have the tarbs dish, is it good enough?

nope its c-band u would need minimum 2.3 metre dish and its only sound on there and to wat phil said its been there since tarbs went down [ 20. December 2004, 08:51 AM: Message edited by: Lazer ]

I do have the tarbs dish and i can't pick up What is going on the Tvchile. UBI still saying that they have tech difficulty is that the true or they have lost the right to sell the signol. Does anyone know?

I hope that Foxtel won't get tvchile, I won't think on subcribing to them at all. They were the one that force out Tarbs.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Maury: I do have the tarbs dish and i can't pick up <hr /></blockquote>did u read wat i wrote?? the tarbs dish is to small and its not a c band dish it will not work for the frequency given

@ Bandido.....mate you can't get TVN from PAS8 3940H, 27690, 7/8 on Adhoc channel on a small dish, as everyone is saying that signal is on C-band, which means you need a huuuuge dish...I have a 3 m mesh dish for that sat at the moment...anyway it is only sound...no picture....but as phil said the signal has been there since july last year...so who knows whats happening...

Ok I will do THAT in the future,,,

Bandido, Please PM the name of the customer service rep that you spoke to.

I call UBI yesterday and I got answer, Say that they are having difficulties from the satellite and as soon they fix the problem the channel would be back on air, Also I ask them if what I been read on this forum is correct that they don't have the right to send the sign, Who ever I spoke he told me that is not correct! I just hope that whatever is could get fix quit.

I was told by others it a bandwidth problem getting it here, and since the turkish and the arabic channels have the first preference TV Chile has to wait or better still be removed to be replaced by another channel that in the above packages.

I cant see much happening until mid Jan next Year? its the 21st of dec and we all know what happening in another 4 days.

that`s great news phil, to have new spanish channels to look foward to, instead of that old one that may be replaced. let`s hope so, as a spanish viewer.

that is bull I subscribe to UBI b'cause they have the TVCHILE, I ask them when I subscribe if they have TVchile and they won't having any difficulty

TV Chile is not longer in Optus B 3 Satellite . TVC will be out for a long time

That is fck great I subcribe to UBI b'cause I believe them that They have the right to receive the sign. That is Bull, I just getting sick of this.I just want to know can I break the contract with UBI.

Maury, You can either cancel your contract and pay it out or wait until TVC comes back and there might be a chance that the viewers will be credited for the time the channel was down.

@ maury, why would you subscribe to something that was still free to air, no ofence but i think your full of crap, and a bit piss, cos tvc is out, good one ubi, now there`s hope for some good spanish channels. phil keep us posted with any news from the latin servie. have a mary christmas and great 2005.

Roy4hire : Please stop your nonsense comments. My grandmother is Argentinian background is she used to watch only TVChile ,because she loves the way those people help others especially kids with disiability, all the time; and not only plain programming like other channels. She is devastated now without it. Please respect others.This Forum is a help form, not to decide witch channels is good or bad. I used to read this forum all the time before and I it was all about good information and help between all different background people. Please don't let it change. All the best to everybody specially Spanish Speaking Community MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Been Very busy at home, building work around the house,

@roy4hire, it is true that people have to sing up now, UBI knows about this, I mean, although the signal is still FTA, UBI has done something to the boxes so every time (started in November) someone aligns the dish to Optus B3 and does an update channels 30 to 39 says the program is not authorized, the Latino package starts on channel 38, the only way to get UBI send an update to the box is by subscribing. I just want to know why they have done this to the Spanish community; the Arabic package is not affected by this, well until it gets encrypted that is. So that's what Maury is talking about, UBI wants $49.95 Activation fee plus the first month $59.95 so pay $109.90 and you get the channel cleared, so they starting charging for something that was FTA (TVE) and still in test (TVC) Let's see what happens next. Merry Christmas to you too roy4hire and everyone else.

Maybe until they are ready to officially launch the channels like the Turkish and Greeks.. So the longer they take the better for you...

I been calling UBI and they answer is that they are having difficulties from oversea, I also Ask them if we are going to get a credit for not given the services that you subscribe for. The respond was that they are looking into it. I WAS ONE OF THIS PEOPLE THAT I BELIEVE IN THIS COMPANY AND I USED TELL MY MATE TO WAIT FOR TARBS TO COME BACK (UBI) NOW I VERY DISEPONTED WITH THEY HOLD THING. I HOPE THAT TVCHILE WOULD BE BACK , that all I want.

@ Myself , Do you know if we could do something about. Hablas espanol.

Also if you check UBI Webside it show that they offer TVCHILE and also on the information channel. What is going on with UBI,If they want to lose the Spanish community they're going on the right way.

@roy I subscribe to the Turkish channel b'cause my wife is turkish and also I ask they if I pay the $ 59.95 dollars I would view all the channels that they have. They respond was yes! I would like to know what is your problem with TVCHILE, for you the channel is crap but for others is not. I respet your view but I think you don't like Chilean, That is your problem Mate.

chill out people!!!!! stop this nonsense....everyone has its own opinion about anything...the guy hasn't said anything else about TVChile....stoppppp stirring the SHIT....(sorry Phil)......that's it ....finito!!!

megb68 No your ok!

Breaking News!!! Definitely .. TVN does not return with UBI, due that UBI can not accomplish with terms and conditions asked by TVN (especially in which is referring to the monthly fees of the subscribers charged by UBI to the Chilean Clients). TVN will restart broadcasting on FTA (Free to Air) basis by 15 of February of 2005. Thru OPTUS B3 or new satellite which will be announce directly by TVN web site http://www.tvchile.cl/ Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all. Specially to the big Chilean Community. Feliz Navidad y un prospero año nuevo les deseo a toda la gran comunidad Chilena en Australia, de un Chileno que trata de mantenerlos bien informados.

How do you know this Bandido could you go into abit more, because UBI still saying that they TVchile is coming back.

They say it so you still have hope and don't join another company.

Dan04 I agree with you and Bandido your arguements are starting to ring true,,, I will be making some calls between now and the new year to see whats going on.. Rgs

I know that because, around March this year they said they will get a popular arabic channel 'by the end of this year' it will defenitely be on TARBS Mr boulos made publicity over it saying yes will have this channel by the end of this year.. and they lied just to keep customers and put there hopes up (knew they were gonna go bust obviously), and it was shut down a few months later. Now let me make this clear, I'm not against UBI they are doing very well and it's great that they are able to re-build what they lost, from July till now. I'm just giving you an example of what I experienced with TARBS now the same thing seems to be happening over TV chile Thank you.

@Satfreak it's true that TVN Chile has conversation with TV+ for distribuition of their signal in Australia?

@ Maury, let`s make one thing clear, i 100% don`t hate chileans ok. my next door nieghbours are chilean and come over my house on chrismas eve to say hi to my famiy, 2 of my mate are chilean, and they are true friends ok. if they put another channel from chile and it was good then i wouldn`t mind. but i don`t like tv chile the channel. i can only complain about the latin section and there are only 2 channels there. nothing else to complain about.

@roy , ok now Iknow where are you coming from.

Guys, most of the information coming to light so far is making more sense and is heading in the right direction, TVN is in negotiations with a unknown company name in Australia for the rights to distribute the signal, it will only be FTA for a short while, same as what happened to UBI, then they will encrypt the signal and start selling their services, the longer they take the better, the satellite they will use is 95% going to be PAS8 So the clue I left before remains a clue until I get the email confirming the deal has been done, then everyone will know about this company, having said that TVN Management seems to be away on leave so there is some delay getting things done. After all this, I wish everyone a safe and fun holiday break, and hopefully santa brought you what you wished for <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" /> Cheers

i posted that info back in August i got this email on the 9/8/04. ESTIMADO RUBEN YA SE HA VUELTO MAS CONCRETA NUESTRA POSIBILIDAD DE VOLVER A AUSTRALIA.

CUALQUIER INFORMACIÓN LA PUBLICAREMOS EN NUESTRA PÁGINA WWW.TVCHILE.CL GRACIAS POR ESCRIBIRNOS, LORENA GODOY A. TV CHILE (562) 707 7240 which says that panamsat has put them in contact with a company in Australia that will distribute their signal. so this was on before UBI started.

Breaking News!!! Definitely .. TVN does not return with UBI, due that UBI can not accomplish with terms and conditions asked by TVN (especially in which is referring to the monthly fees of the subscribers charged by UBI to the Chilean Clients). TVN will restart broadcasting on FTA (Free to Air) basis by second semester of 2005 which will be announce directly by TVN web site http://www.tvchile.cl/ and this DEFINITELY.

so is TVN goin to remain as a full time FTA channel and which satellite are they goin to use??

That should make a few Happy, anything that is free most of the times is good. Look at Videoland USA, the best collection of movies I've even seen, leave foxtels/Optus's Showtime and Mov1 for dead. When they encrypt I would love to get them. Mind you they have been FTA mostly for over a year. Phil

tv chile fta on globecast Optus B3?????
