(TurkMax will no longer be avaliable in Australia - we are in the advance stages of finialising a new contract with a premium Turkish movie channel to replace this

- Due to the breakdown in negotiations, DigiTurk have decided to unfairly switch off Show TV. UBI has an independent relationship with the Show TV Managing Director, who is challenging the actions of DigiTurk to resolve the situation immediatley. We hope Show TV will return within 72hrs)


Liski on the 10th August you posted this information now not 72 hours later but 1 month later still no Show TV or Turkish movie channel and no information either what is going on, we have lost two channels (ignoring LIGTV) and still paying same fees and no indication we will get what we subscribed for. I for one am getting tired of waiting. mad
MadScientist,

There is still no information and I will not post anything until there is.

I did write "We hope Show TV will return within 72hrs" but it hasn't.

We are currently speaking to a few broadcasters, contracts aren't signed overnight.

You still currently recieve 9 TV channels + 7 Radio channels so I don't see the need for a price reduction.
Cancel it MadScientist, and tell everyone to cancel UBI.

Then, I'm sure they'll "see the need for a price reduction".

If we just whinge but do nothing about it, they'll keep ripping us off.
If it's a price issue you can always downgrade to Vizyon a la carte for $29.95

How is UBI ripping people off? This topic about "ripping off" has been talked TO DEATH! Who pays for the transmission uplink/downlink from Europe to Australia? Who pays the broadcaster? Oh that's right UBI does!
i think the amount of people who sign up for Vizyon a la carte would no more than be the figure that signed up for ligtv on its owns, (vizyon on its own for $30 just stupid, my view)..

putting al this aside yawrum liski.... smile is there any negotiaions or any contact effort at all being put into bringing LIGTV back, coz i think once its official weather its coming back or not it will finalize ubi's turkish customer number (as aswell as if show and other channel)..

i am really missing ligtv!!
I can't see Lig or Show coming back to UBI because I can't see DigiTurk re-opening negotiations.

But, stranger things have happened (Like Fener beating Inter 1-0 this morning)
If and when Show Turk does come back it will be independent from DigiTurk.
digiturk and show have the same owner. so never!!!
I wouldn't mind seeing Fox Turk http://www.foxturk.de here
Isnt that old TGRT? Murdoch bought it and changed its name.
can't be compared to Show TV but better than nothing, i guess.
I think it's the old TGRT Int - as there is Fox Turkey (formerly TGRT) based in Turkey and Fox Turk (formerly TGRT Int) based out of Germany.
Just having returned from Turkey recently I must has that Fox Turk is quite a good channel, but its no ShowTV.
man forget these other channels, i would tradem all just for ligtv, maybee :))

Liski anything happening or just tell me to forget about it for good...

putting LIG TV aside, nothing will replace Show TV because of Kurtlar Vadisi, we are waiting for show tv to come back as soon as possible...
I wouldn't hold my breath Turkmen
my friend told me that some D-smart turkish channels are coming to UBI, is this right?
I'd like to know more smile
me too smile
i seen a ad in the paper for the sunday morning game between turkey vs moldova syaing that it would be free!! ??

free as in to wach at the venues i dnt think so or setanta will be aloowing UBI to air this game through ATV, it also said that the turkey vs greece game week after will be $25 a head whcih i think UBI will encrypt that game because its an important one,

can anyone confirm this , Liski???
crazy_Turk,

I don't have any information regarding Turkey vs Moldova. Maybe they mean it will be on SBS.

The Turkey vs Moldova match is listed on the Setanta site http://au.setanta.com/portal/system...el=setantasportsau&dateadjust=4&

Secondly we only block games at the request of Setanta or any other rights holder.
well the last game was played turkey vs georgia and was not blocked by suprise i wached it live, would u guys at least let us know if the signal wont be blocked to wach this game on saturday via the flowing text at the bottom of the screen, itll be much aprretiated...
crazy_Turk,

I just check the ad that it's in DUNYA and it actually states "FREE ENTRY" to the venue apart from Erciyes who will charge $10 entry for the Turkey vs Moldova game.

For now I doubt that ATV will be showing the game in Australia.
ATV probably will but UBI definitely won't.
crazy, download sopcast and check the schedule on this website for soccer, including some LIG TV games.

Alternatively, check links on this forum for games.

I'm currently finding out if we are able to broadcast them. If we can we will put crawl advising so. Fingers crossed.
carzy_Turk,
eger ubi maci keserse internetten bak, ben oyle yapiyorum.
i am aware that we can wach these games free over the net but it is pretty crap when ytou only have a 256k connection lmao, oh well we will just hope for the game to appear on our screens as it did with the last one...

any news on ligtv liski?? or all hopes finished??
I personally would suggest not hold your breath for Lig TV. If it comes it comes, until then just don't stress over it.

so thats a forget about it its no more on our agenda, or we working on it??

btw whats tha last update for the game tonight are you guys gonna block the game??

atv (and atv Euro) has all the turkish natioanl team games this
season , its just a matter of ubi blocking the signal or not for which we cant blame them bcoz rights,

BUT what they can do some agrremnt with the rights holder (setanta) to wach just those games of atv but thats a different story...
If Setanta owns the rights to the matches then the only way you would see them would be if UBI added Setanta as an add on channel, but even if we did this I would presume we would still block them on ATV or any other channel for that matter.
but we wached the the turkey vs hungary game live bout a month ago, maybe it wasnt such a big game , then i shouldnt see why this game should be blockd, i wouoldnt want it to be but if u were to blokck it shud be for the turkey vs greece game next week..
Crazy John's founder Mustafa Ilhan dies this morning at 42. rumours on him bringing turkish tvs to australia should stop now.
Yeah, thats really sad. He was so young, and its a big loss not only for the Turkish community, but Australia as a whole.
i heard that ligtv might be on the verge jumping back into the ubi line-up whiuch would be great news!!!

any news from showtv returning, like to hear from the officials oficcial news...
I have not heard anything about Lig TV or Show TV.

There are 2 Turkish channels waiting to be put on-air, this will happen with the move to D2.
