what satellite will UBI be testing it on?

its on PBS TV now for the Fiji Viewers on Intelsat 701 now Maybe to be soon on UBI also

Our family subscribe to it in Ireland and in the U.K. via Sky and we were only talking about this channel weeks ago and how they will miss it if one of the families migrates to Australia. Well by the look of it, they won't be missing it at all. A lot of poms will like this channel. If I remember rightly they only pay a few pounds for it monthly and it is definitely worth it.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by LAZERSAT: its on PBS TV now for the Fiji Viewers on Intelsat 701 now Maybe to be soon on UBI also <hr /></blockquote>So its actually running on PBS this very moment? Also if I'm correct isn't UBI and PBS both in the same building so it would be no effort to send it to UBI. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by P Debono: Now what a great channel to have with UBI's future English channels. So stay tuned folks!!!! <hr /></blockquote>You da man! Although I am devoted to I701 I want UBI to get MU TV.

how about XXL on UBI LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/default/tongue.gif" />

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by LAZERSAT: how about XXL on UBI LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/default/tongue.gif" /> <hr /></blockquote>Only if it has ANUS CHANNEL <img src="http://www.delicaparts.com/Satellite/Smilies/S_WideSml.gif" alt=" - " />

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by LAZERSAT: how about XXL on UBI LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/default/tongue.gif" /> <hr /></blockquote>Haaaa John Howard will never allow that and I can tell you this Foxtel and austar are pushing for it. XXX channels. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> Now back on topic <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

yes lets get MUTV <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

I will believe it when I see it but if it ever comes to UBI I wonder how many will subscribe to it like or will they get the numbers like UK have. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> Does anyone know if you can subscribe to it in the UK by itself without the other channels? If UBI do get it will you be able to subscribe to it by itself, or better still it would be good to Subscribe to it and get a few other Ehglish channels thrown in for good measure like the Tarbs days. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> This is only speculation so lets wait until they test it because a close friend tells me its impossible or close to it to get it here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" />

its being broadcast to Fiji as we speak thru PBS TV Will see if it comes to UBI as PBS and UBI operate in the same building so wouldt be hard to do if they were to do it

Lazer is correct MU TV at the moment is only for PBS (Pacific Broadcasting Services) but PBS is in the same building as UBI and we won't go into the politics of it. But again I wonder and so does UBI to see how much interest there will be with all the Soccer and Futbol crazies we have in Australia. Lets wait to see it on UBI if and when it arrives (if it arrives) and If it does after you lose your carton of beer when you see it on PBS you have to promise to spread the word around otherwise my crystal ball will put a curse on you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> . And if it does arrive, will it stay on the UBI platform? Again, I don't know, we will just have to wait and see. If it was me, I would remove their community channel (not unless UBI is making money out of it) and replace it with this, but I am not UBI. PM me !! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

Phill cut the crap PBS/UBI same thing......

Phil's being political here! no crap this could be a good move by UBI If the have this channel. We all know Soccer is becoming more popular by the day and what would be better than a channel that other Pay TV providers haven't got or can't get there hands on it. Sign it up Boulos for UBI.

The channel isn't new its been beaming across Asia the past 6 months. FTA as well! Any other provider can get their hands on it its not exclusive to anyone.

I call 6 months new and for being FTA yes for a short period its FTA or have you forgotton to put that bit in. (I have relations watching it) You know apsattv I have never bothered answering any of your anti UBI post but this one I will and one day most of the members on this site will rubbish you for any post you put on this site and I for one will join them and I hope other do. Good move UBI if you test this channel as in the United Kingdom is getting well known day by day.

It certainly has a lot to watch.

I cant see anti UBI in it apsattv but I can see as they use on this forum negativity in it.

Is the above a rumour or is it true? Only time will tell

Apsattv, I don't know if anyone has bothered to ask you, what is your beef with UBI? I dislike your hatred towards UBI but there are always two or more sides to a story, so explain please.

Well I can tell you this I have a free carton of beer in the Kitchen and its definitely on PBS on Intelsat 701. As for UBI on Optus B3 we will have to wait and see.

Apsattv, I asked not to be an *******, I was serious. If you have answered a link would really go a long way, again I am asking seriously.

Muazb , Go thru Apsattv's post's and you will find your answer its been said many times Let's keep to the topic <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <blockquote>quote:<hr />" MU TV Manchester United Soccer channel on PBS and Possibly testing soon on UBI "<hr /></blockquote>

Well it won't be on this week or the next week (A reason)as UBI are concentrating on getting BOM and K15 up and running by the end of the week.

Thanks for the spoiler <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

Hey muazb can you alter your tagline it doesn't make any sense

What part of it does not make sense? The sheep? Needing someone for ImpacTV?

Keep on topic, forget Impac TV

Hi Does anyone know if MU tv will be coming to Australia on any platform. I'm asking on behalf of others. thanks

It'd be great if MU TV is available on UBI, however if not I'd love a way to get it on PBS, if the right strings are pulled perhaps? Is PBS keeping the channel or are they too testing for its popularity?

Muazb The only thing you will be pulling is the thing between your legs. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> If you read the first bit you will see its only on PBS at the moment for the pacific region only. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

I see lyngsat is listing PTV1 as being on PBS? Pakistani channel? is this correct Phill?

Yes, And they're doing plenty of advertising for the current cricket matches in Pakistan. I wonder if they will be on PBS?
