Well if UBI and PBS are owned by the same person, why setup two companies? Wouldn't it be just easier to extend UBI's coverage and add a few channels onto the existing service?

No!!!. If all eggs were in one TARBS basket, UBI would not be here today

Most consumers wouldnt know who is who.<br />This way you really dont have any competitor.<br />Expand your horizons.

Yes 99% don't and don't care about the politics, all they want is their pictures and at a far price

Hi,<br /><br /> Whoever the owner is is sure will be making a hell a lot of money. Hope he doesnt dissapear again like he did with the tarbs company. Also how much is UBI asking for the package they are offering?.<br /><br />SK.

If UBI wants to attract new customers not ex tarbs customers they would have sorted out the supply issue with the crap boxes they want to sell us, even if I want to join UBI I cant because they have no boxes and they cant tell us when or how much either. In the mean time I am peed off because the channels are now encrypted, if UBI was sensible they would have left it non encryped until they got their services in place properly, there are a lot of extremely peed off Turkish customers out there because of this, and what happened to the promises of a cheaper service or discounts for pensioners

I think by know they would need some cash flow

Hi,<br /><br /> Peharps the ex Tarbs customers in Australia can sell the now useless STB 3110 to PBS..maybe worth some money afterall.<br /><br />SK.

Lots of the TARBS contractors still have them floating around.

You can by TARBS STU from technicians around Australia and use them on UBI.
