Thank you for registering your interest in Spanish broadcasting with us, to maintain our commitment to the Chilean community, Selectv is pleased to announce we have commenced broadcasting the premier channel TV Chile for a free trial period. <br /><br /> <br /><br />This will be a FREE SERVICE for the next 3 months. <br /><br /> <br /><br />After the 3 months free trial period, the full Selectv service will be operating, and at this time you will need to subscribe to our Pay TV Offering to continue to receive TV Chile. TV Chile will feature in our Spanish Package along with additional channels and is expected to cost in the region of $39.95 per month. The Selectv team will be in touch with you with details on how to subscribe to the full Selectv Pay TV service closer to the time.<br /><br /> <br /><br />In the meantime to receive the free TV Chile Channel you will need to follow the steps below:<br /><br /> <br /><br />1. Satellite Dish Pointing<br /><br /> <br /><br />To receive TV Chile your satellite dish needs to be pointed at the PAS8 satellite; this is the same satellite that was used to broadcast TV Chile on the old TARBS services. (PAS8 is located at 166 deg east latitude, to the east of Optus B3). If your Satellite dish points elsewhere then you will have to have it re-pointed.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Warning: Most satellite antennas are located high on the sides or rooftops of buildings. These areas cannot be accessed safely without the use of specialist equipment. If your antenna cannot be safely accessed from the ground we recommend that you engage a professional installer to re-point your antenna. <br /><br /> <br /><br />If you require the assistance of a professional installer to re-point your dish then the following are installers who can assist you with this:<br /><br /> <br /><br />State<br /> Company<br /> Phone Number<br /> <br />NSW<br /> Walter Chiacchio<br /> 0418 253 411<br /> <br />NSW<br /> Datek Pty Ltd<br /> (02) 8783-7007<br /> <br />NSW<br /> Icoz Pty Ltd<br /> (02) 9438-5773<br /> <br />NSW<br /> Star Installations<br /> (02) 96075714<br /> <br />ACT <br /> Icoz Pty Ltd<br /> (02) 9438-5773<br /> <br />VIC<br /> Novasat Satellite Systems (Angelo Quabba)<br /> 0413 311 679<br /> <br />VIC<br /> Datek Pty Ltd<br /> (02) 8783-7007<br /> <br />VIC<br /> Melbourne Satellite<br /> (03) 9738-0888<br /> <br />SA<br /> Datek Pty Ltd<br /> (02) 8783-7007<br /> <br />QLD<br /> Datek Pty Ltd<br /> (02) 8783-7007<br /> <br />QLD<br /> Pacific Satellite (Aust) PL<br /> (07) 3344-3883<br /> <br />QLD<br /> Brisbane Broadband Communications<br /> 0438725606<br /> <br />WA<br /> AA Antenna Services<br /> (08) 93312411<br /> <br />WA<br /> BMM Electronics<br /> (08) 92757750<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />There will be a charge from the installer for this re-pointing service (about $75.00), for which you will need to pay the installer directly (and not Selectv). <br /><br /> <br /><br />We will keep an updated list of recommended installers on our website (www.Selectv.com), along with detailed information on Satellite Dish Pointing. <br /><br /> <br /><br />2.

At this time you do not need a viewing card a smart card or a subscription.

You will need to have your Set Top Box ENABLED. <br /><br /> <br /><br />To do this you could call the company that disabled it and ask them to enable it. <br /><br /> <br /><br />We would like to help with this, but unfortunately, as your Set Top Box was not purchased from Selectv, we do not have the Set Top Box access codes required to enable it.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Selectv Trial Service Temporary Set Top Box<br /><br />Selectv is currently testing some inexpensive Set Top Boxes to determine their suitability. We will advise of the outcome of the testing in the next few days. These Set Top Boxes will be available for purchase by people who have already registered their interest with us. However, these Set Top Boxes will not be able to be used after the free trial period and will have to be replaced with a fully featured Selectv STB at the subscribers cost.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Selectv Pay TV Offering Set Top Boxes<br /><br />Selectv is in the process of commissioning a Digital Set Top Box which will have many features designed to enhance the viewing experience.
