me too i hope everything will be ok and fast

Excuse me but this a crock! You go on about value but above report shows the FARSI stuff is 1 channel for $49 giving them other ethnic channels is irrelevent unless they understand various other languages the value is NIL

Yes but, I bet they can all Understand English, Go back to the TARBS days, Now what did they do when they introduced ONE polish chanel ONLY for $50, What happened 7 weeks later with that One Polish channel, See if the Other providers will do the Same. Globcast has been there for years and they have done nothing what I'm getting at, and I wonder if TV plus and Others will be the same as Globecast or UBI in the very near future.

Sorry what ENGLISH channels do UBI currently have? I must of missed the announcement. Which other channels are the Persians going to get? Globecast are not a pay tv service provider! they are a platform for other 3rd partys. When UBI WORLD TV’s Persian TV channels become available there will be a choice of 2 subscription packages. The World TV Basic package will contain one Persian TV channel plus a limited selection of the other UBI WORLD TV channels for $49.95 per month. The World TV Plus package will contain 2 or 3 Persian TV channels plus all the UBI WORLD TV channels for $59.95 per month.

Were you around when TARBS first started? Yes Have you forgotten that also TARBS started with no English channels. Yes I know Globecast is a Carrier and that's is the reason why anyone that buy any services of them will get ripped off because they will NEVER get English channels, I doubt that TV plus will ever get English Channels and if there is a New Pay TV provider that has a Good Chance of Supplying English channels again it will be UBI.

Apsattv has a good point about the value for money for Persian channels in comparison to the Arabic and Turkish channels. On the other hand he always has a negative view of UBI.

I'm not against UBI. You will see on my site I do write that they have added this or that channel etc. I just think they go about the wrong way of doing things.

Arrrrrrrrrgh well thats life The Arabic customers on UBI have a big smile on their face for their $$$ and just think they might end up with Other channels for the same price in the Next few months and that will give them an even bigger smile on their face. But I do feal pity for the One channel customers that are paying around $50 just for that. The way I look at it is, the more UBI make the more they can put back into the business to make it a better service for ALL.

lISKI?wHAT THE 3 Russian cn doing in OptB3 NTVAMERIKA,RTVi,RTVPlaneta? The same Cn in PAS8 for Horison World Plus TV Regards

I think they want to broadcast to NZ as well that is why.... odd really as there are only 5000 russians in NZ

5000 x $50 per month = $250,000 per month. It may go towards coffee and biscuits for the office <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" /> Vlad...

So now they will have more transponder cost for a small company, Now what about MY tv Plus on NSS 6?. Do we have TV plus, Horison World Plus TV, My TV Plus Geeeee how many more plus companies are we going to have. or are they just one big minus.

noooo 5000 russians total how many homes is that 1200? and out of those 1200 they would be lucky to get Half them to sub so thats 600@$50 waste of time..

Phil!Do you know,that for NZ Russian customers is faiting two Rus comp - MYTV+ @ Horizon World PlusTV UBI should to take all + and -over

I cant see them lasting.
