Need a UBI receiver #15230 Mon 04 Apr 2005 11:54:PM

I contacted UBI customer service and they said they haven't got any. They gave me the names of a couple of suppliers in Melbourne who can supply such receivers (at your own risk). However, I am sceptical about dealing with third parties.<br /><br />Is UBI going to ever supply receivers? How else can I buy a receiver?<br /><br />Thanks.

Believe it or not, I actually get the signal with a 1.8m antenna, although the signal gets a lot of interference in the afternoons from mobile phones because, I've been told, they use similar frequencies. But I have no access to BN TV since it's encrypted. So how am I supposed to buy a receiver if I live in Africa?
