Balkans tv Channels - AUS-CITY Message Forums

I am just asking about the Balkans channels on Plus tv are they ok have they combined other channels with them like TURBS did in the old days, my friend say no but others say yes they give you other channels for the same price who is right can someone please explain what is going on so i can pass this information on please

u only get balkan channels thats it they have no other channels to combine with

King Curtis, TV+ only provides 3 (low quality) channels. The Three channels in question are Pink, Pink extra and BN. Pink and Pink extra just have grand show and Spanish soaps on all day and BN has some music and that same english movie for the last 7 months about that english ship going into that yugo port and that chick wanting to sacrifice herself so the english would not bother her. I’m not kidding her it’s the one and only movie!!!! They must think we are mental cases living in an asylum!!! If you subscribe to the “Serb” package you don’t get the russian ones and vice versa! And NO, absolutly NO english channels! That’s it mate, 3 blurry channels, like it or lump it! All three are downlinked from the US, so the signal has been converted from PAL to NTSC back to PAL again. This has made it blury and unless its a closeup of the person, you cannot recognise the person. Pathetic!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/default/rolleyes.gif" /> Vlad…

King!! TARBS not Turbs. TV Plus not plus tv As Lazersat said that is 100% correct you only get the Balkans channels and nothing else as they have nothing else to give you except for a poor quality on their video. Who knows they might have fixed the problem by now but I doubt it.

picture quality of the channels is stil the same phil CRAP!!! nuthin has changed channels stil look like CRAP!!

also one more thing i remember when i said last time that the tv plus website wasent working properly and some of the things have gone missing from it and i remember satfreak telling us that the webmaster of the site was updating it over the weekend well its 3 months later and the website stil hasent been updated LOL

It shows you then that the lies Satfreak told us were exactly that, Lies

Some were saying that its a digital signal like foxtel new digital service that replaced there analogue so you need to buy a digital tv to get better quality pictures for tv plus, I don't think this is true.

And for TV plus you will need a digital TV with 128 Meg Digital Noise reduction similiar to what the Grundigs had and they only had 4 Meg, TV plus for what I have been told by others NOTHING HAS CHANGES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS

I know this has been ask 100 times before any news on UBI Balkans channels? Only over my inlaws last night and tvplus has changed nothing its still as bad as day one

I know this isn't really on topic. Does anybody know anything about Big Brother in Serbia? I've heard so many things, that it's going to be on RTS, but I've also read that it'll be on B92. So does anybody know what's going on and when will it air? Cheers!

Big Brother Serbia will be shown on B92 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_television_program

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by LISKI iTV: Big Brother Serbia will be shown on B92 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_television_program <hr /></blockquote>that's what i read too, but according to Endemol http://www.endemol.com/newsitem.xml?id=351 RTS has it. The first ever big Brother series to be shown on a public broadcaster

haha now i would like to see BB Australia on the ABC LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

not much chance of that ever happening

Can someone tell me what's the Croatian service like on Globecast? Is the channel any good?

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by reuder: Can someone tell me what's the Croatian service like on Globecast?

OK, I have a question for all the Serbs out there and lovers of Serb music. The song, Desert Rose by Sting, has the first few seconds of a Serbian song, does anybody know it? Here's a link to the sound grab. Click on this link and follow the prompts

ooops, I was going to say that I totally agree with YU4CFG that Latinica was the only show worth watching (dunno about the other popular show ''Nedeljom u 2'' if its showing on satellite), I wouldn't even mind paying $25 just to see Denis Latin stand up against the craotian nationalists and criminals and the whole corrupt system of the so called ''Lijepa Nasa'' but now that the show is banned all I can say is ; "Shame on you HRT''. I'm definetely not subscribing to their channel.

More Politics!!

They had quite a lot good talk shows, not much music (and the choice wasnt that great). I would not pay 25 a month for one ch for a few reasons... one of them is they repeat a lot as yu4cfg said, the quality of pic wasnt that great and so on. I agree some shows on there were all about "big croatia" and the so on...but then again I simply block out politics and just change it to something else.. All I am saying it was ok to flick to it from time to time but not worth 25 alone...Has to be included in sum sort of a package..We still dont have news of TV Nova (something close to cros version of pink) come to aus???!!!

Can you download the show from somewhere???

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by tuppelo: Can you download the show from somewhere??? <hr /></blockquote>I am looking around... But, no luck so far... If someone knows the link, please let us know <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

I'll email Mr Latin and his lawyer to send a DVD of the last show to their Australian supporters <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" />

If you need dvd for that last show I can send you tomorrow by mail (free of charge)just let me know how many I have to burn.

Free but is it Legal to do so?

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Confused: Free but is it Legal to do so? <hr /></blockquote>Since you are an advocate of HRT, I'll give you an answer in one simple sentence: FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Also, here is one of many links of recorded show so, see it for yourself what some politicians in Croatia don't won’t you to know. (But, you'll have to learn Croatian language first) Windows Media File (40 MB) Enjoy <img src="http://www.delicaparts.com/Satellite/Smilies/S_Cool.gif" alt=" - " />

EUTELSAT COMMUNICATIONS AND TELEKOM SRBIJA ANNOUNCE NEW CONTRACT FOR LEASE OF CAPACITY ON HOT BIRD™ 7A SATELLITE Paris 4 January 2006 Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) and Telekom Srbija today announced the signature of a contract for the lease of capacity on the HOT BIRD™ 7A broadcast satellite, which is scheduled for launch on 21 February 2006. The contract concerns one HOT BIRD™ 7A transponder for an initial period of three years, extendable to five. Telekom Srbija, Serbia’s leading telecommunications operator, will use the capacity to develop a new offer of digital broadcasting services via a digital platform which will be operational for HOT BIRD™ 7A’s entry into commercial service. It will support the development of domestic digital broadcasting in Serbia and Montenegro, while the broad reach of Eutelsat’s HOT BIRD™ neighbourhood will also enable reception of channels throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, thereby providing a connection for the region’s expatriate population. Eutelsat’s HOT BIRD™ neighbourhood reaches a measured audience of more than 110 million homes in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, of which 45 million are satellite homes. Commenting on the contract’s signature, Drasko Petrovic, Chairman of Telekom Srbija, said: “The introduction of our digital broadcast platform – the first in Serbia – is an important step for the entire audiovisual landscape of our country. By employing the most recent digital technology, we have the best means of supporting the television and radio programmes of Serbia and Montenegro in their desire to reach all of our people who live in Europe and the Mediterranean countries. Maintaining the link between our homeland and the expatriate community is an extremely important task, which we can fulfil by making our domestic television and radio news programmes accessible in our own territory and in the world.” Giuliano Berretta, Eutelsat CEO, said: “We are particularly pleased to work with Telekom Srbija in launching the country’s first digital broadcast services. The agreement shows the true dynamics of the remarkable digital age in central and eastern Europe and the key role of our HOT BIRD™ neighbourhood in enabling these countries to achieve coverage of their national territories and develop reach across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.” About HOT BIRD™ 7A Eutelsat’s HOT BIRD™ 7A broadcast satellite will be located after launch in geostationary orbit at 13 degrees East, the company’s prime neighbourhood for television and radio broadcasting to cable and satellite homes. To be launched by Arianespace, the satellite is built by Alcatel Space and its mass at launch is approximately 4 tonnes. Equipped with 38 Ku-band transponders, it will replace existing capacity at 13 degrees East and, together with the HOT BIRD™ 8 satellite due for launch in the first half of 2006, will provide in-orbit redundancy and sparing at the HOT BIRD™ neighbourhood, which today hosts 850 television channels and 550 radio stations.

At the bottom of the press release they had "No copy of this press release has been or should be distributed or sent to the United States, Canada, Japan or Australia." WTF? Why put it on the WORLD WIDE WEB then?
