Good news, and if we can see DERBI tonight on Pink Extra thats gonna be even better, and if PARTIZAN wins who needs anything else.

anyone able to show us some screen shots of Pink Extra?? [ 23. April 2005, 05:51 PM: Message edited by: -.Lazer.- ]

screenshots won't tell you much as JPG adds its own compression artifacts

just wanted to see it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

Where is this Pink Extra feed coming from? Is it from Globecast's new Asia platform?

no its coming from were Pink Plus is coming from the USA Globecast Platform

haha, that's sad. Quality of Pink Extra here in Canada (on Globecast) is awful. Once converted back to Pal for you Aussies, it's going be really crappy pic. Even real media stream will be better than that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/default/tongue.gif" /> TV Minus rules!!

hehe, i heard also the sound isnt synched too through tv plus

oh i don't watch it. not payin $25 US for it. but friend of mine is subscribed and I saw that Pink Plus has good picture but Pink Extra is disaster. Blocks all over the picture. Looks like bad Avi encode. Haha. Now you guys say that Pink Plus sucks down under and they get it from GC. This just makes me wonder what Pink Extra would look like. Maybe Tv minus gets it thru dial up from GC in USA? HAHAHA

my friend only pay $6 extra (for total of $26) to get Pink Extra along with Pink Plus so he doesn't care that much. Otherwise, he says he would cancel it right away because quality blows. And this is in Canada where signal has only been converted once from PAL to NTSC. As I said TV Minus must be really saving on transfer of their channels from USA plus another conversion on top of that (NTSC to PAL) BRUTAL. So how many channels do they have? 3 channels for $65+? DAMN!!

Picture on Pink Extra is OK, so is sound. Don't know whats all the fuss about ???????

Are Tv plus charging more now for Pink extra on top of there other two channels?. or is it the same

my neighbours who have it are getting it on there current contract they got and they havent been told for any extra charges for it i guess its just filling in til BKTV comes back then it might change or stay the way it is see what happens

Yes it would be a bit rich to charge extra ATM

I take it it's not even worth cardsharing? Rite! "ja", the deal's off! you can switch off your CS server <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> Vlad...

The quality of Pink Extra is slightly better than Pink plus, we will have to put up with it but we will not pay more than what we are paying now, If they introduce more channels and try to screw us for more money we will not be pleased because we are already paying to much for 3 channels

I would refuse to ever pay so much and get so little FULL STOP. And I was complaining about Foxtel screwing the public.

Yes all those channels for $65. wakey wakey let me refresh your memory, what happened to Tarb's? not enough $$$$$$ to survive

And they were screwed out of business, people will never pay 100 bucks for a limited amount of channels, Its not on.

I heard it was more about TARBS taking too big a cut out of Murdock's pie, and someone went "ape"! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" /> Vlad...

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Satfreak: More Channels to be lifted in the comming week.. Regards <hr /></blockquote>Well just how do you plan on bringing these "more channels"? Globecast has just lost BKTV so I don't see them bringing any more channels thru the USA for Tv Plus. Without Globecast you have no chance $$$ of bringing more of your promised channels.

Is Pink Extra still on TV+? Tonight's game Serbia and Montenegro Vs. Belgium should be on it LIVE. Can someone confirm that Pink Extra is still on?

Setanta Sports has the rights for Australia for all World Cup Qualifiers so unless TV PLUS got permission for it to be shown on Pink Extra it wont be shown most like the signal wil be cut when the game is on

Yeah, just got the info that during the game TV+ will be showing Pink Plus instead of Pink Extra. Setanta Sports will show a replay 2 hours later. It can't get worse than this.

yes there a few games on at once tmr morning hence the 2 hour delay in some games

Why buy all the rights if you don't have the capacity to air them all at once. Some dodgy web site is showing it for 10euro so that's the best option for now.

they have 2 channels on OPTUS B3 that both will be showing 2 different games at once not sure if they will be FTA or encrypted though

Not the one that i'm interested in. Serbia VS. Belgium will be aired at 6am instead of 4am.

i watched the game through http://qualifiers2006.com/ 500k streaming good quality picture u gotta have broadband ~$17aud better than watching the replay at 6 on sentana and paying the entrance fee which is more expensive any way

WHAT R THE 3 CHANNELS IF SOME ONE COULD TELL FROM 2005

on tv plus
