Also the Picture Quality is Brilliant

Yes looks good on the 135CM TV

Only Channel 59 Is the only spare spot left Boys out of all the channel position available. Now I wonder what come next HeHeHe!!!.

At long last 1 Greek speaking channel are we getting any more???

Now what do you think?? Remember what I posted above omly one spot left Until Other things happen.Read my old post (P Debono post) and there will lye your answer.

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> This is great. All Greeks and in particular Cypriots are happy tonight. I wonder why it's on a UBI frequency though.

I wonder why it's on a UBI frequency though....<< what do you mean by this?

What I mean is that Cyprus Sat is to be a FTA channel just like ERT. Cyprus Sat is a state run channel and according to the Cyprus government it is to be FTA for the whole community to enjoy.

The just mentioned on the Cyprus Sat news bulletin that Cyprus Sat is to be FTA in Africa, Australia and New Zealand. It has been FTA all over Europe for quite a while now.

yes, TRT is also FTA but part of UBI. This is probably the same when the greek package is encrypted Cyprus SAT will remain FTA.

So you reckon that Cyprus Sat is part of the UBI package?

Watching cyprus sat, but i think they made a big boo-boo, telling as that TARBS is distributing the signal to australia and new zealand!!!<br /><br />Anyone know whats this all about???<br /><br />mixo<br /><br />P.s the good news is that the bloke said its going to be FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes Cyprus will be part of UBI package, but will be left FTA

And I bet Boulos has undercut Globecast out of the deal and making money out of it.<br />Did Some idiot on this forum say weeks ago why does UBI need its own teleports?, Its just shows you people sometimes on this forum just plainly don't think.

Jaremt you not calling Lord Phill an idiot????<br /><br />Now you will get the forum firing!!!!!<br /><br />I think the flame is lit and the petrol has just been poured!!!!!<br /><br />And yes you are right you dont need your own teleports to do the job till you build your own.<br /><br />Also its nearly the start of the greek Tv season, wouldnt it be nice for ubi to get the greek channels now before the season starts in october.<br /><br />mixo

Me a Idiot I don't thing so.<br />I reported months ago that it would be easy for Boulos to use these new Teleports to generate a income. Well put it this way if you owned them what would you do.?

Tarbs Europe has signed the contract with Cyprus Sat RIK to distribute the channel FTA all over the world. It would of been preferable for them to go through Globecast though as UBI is a dedicated pay service.<br /><br />Oh well, can't have everything. Sure is great to have this channel no matter what the means.

its FTA so who cares who is Distributing it as long as we have it FTA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ 11. September 2005, 11:29 AM: Message edited by: LAZERSAT ]</small>

Now I wonder how much Mr mike is making out of this deal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

You seem to forget Phil that it is uplinked from Cyprus to Hellas Sat and distributed to the whole of Europe. From there it is distributed to the rest of the world through Tarbs Europe. <br /><br />This is until Hellas Sat puts an Australian Beam in which case they will be able to distribute it at a fraction of the cost. Hellas Sat is a joint consortium between the Greek and Cyprus governments. This was all discussed at the conferance between an Australian delegation and The Cyprus government.

with hellasat at 39 degrees east who in Australia would be able to access it with such a low look angle your dish would be looking into the ground??

My concern for it being distributed through UBI is that if anything should happen to UBI asit did to TARBS Australia, then we wll lose the channel. Pay tv services have a long history of problems in this country.<br /><br />I don't need to remind you that Cyprus Sat was broadcasting through Tarbs as a test card and then all of a sudden Tarbs went under and we lost it. Atleast Globecast is a more stable carrier.

Cyprus Sat was off Tarbs a few months before Tarbs closed

All I am saying is that the Cyprus government will be looking at all options. Hellas Sat was also mentioned. <br /><br />For such a tiny country, they wish to support the Cypriot population all over the world but they are interested at doing this at a cheap price. <br /><br />I wonder why Globecast was overlooked as this is where ERT is carried?

I Think TARBS Europe was a Cheaper option I know Globecast charge alot for doing this kind of stuff

I am not sure. Hope they did all their homework. <br />I'm sure they did.

Personally I don't care how much he makes so long as he brings us the Greek channels and sticks to the reasonable price he has know. <br /><br />I for one have to give him full credit because he was the first person that had the courage to bring all those Ethnic channels so good luck to him, i wish Ubi all the best...<br /><br />Phil and liski thank you for the information you give us through aus-city

full credit to BOULOS

Good to see another new FTA channel. Another I can actually list without fear of it encrypting.

Few UBI transponder down !<br />Lazer, can you please confirm..
