TARBS WAS SCREWED!!!! - AUS-CITY Message Forums

Well you can believe what you want and only 2 weeks ago someone in NZ said very true words "Quote" ((There may be a lot of english channels around but I can't see TARBS getting anything major and if they do Foxtel will come along and squash them like a bug if they get to big for their boots)). We all know who the major player is, and Rumours are already flying around in only 24hrs. See its simple, PanAmSat has new owners. Out of the blue (48HRS)they decide to tell TARBS That they wanted Higher prices for Transponders and ALL paid up front. If I took over your bank and your Mortgage over your house and told you to pay 12 months or more up front how would you like that.?? Have been told heaps more. Cannot post until I'm allowed, But Don't worry THIS IS NOT THE END OF THIS MATTER. All that can be said is ANYTHING up in the sky that is owned by the YANKS is mud. First it was Galaxy now its TARBS. Phil [ 08. July 2004, 06:40 PM: Message edited by: P Debono ]

from the kansat newsletter: PANAMSAT 8, 166.0E TARBS has gone into receivership this week, their Ku transponders on this satellite have gone quiet. That may mean that many of their encrypted channels will become available – perhaps through Globecast.

do you know if they will transmit again ??

This is VERY CLEAR!! Never Again on PanAmSat!!!

My opinion, and its only My opinion of course, ?????? will resume, missing only the movie English channels that they get from Optus, ESPN and others are world wide so that will be no problem. [ 08. July 2004, 12:18 PM: Message edited by: P Debono ]

I hope they get going again as by the look of it NSS6 might the the way to go, Only time will tell. I have noticed the Administrators forum is well in use normally its very quiet, plenty of updates the last few weeks.

hi, well it looks like Tarbs won't be back, what happens to the set top box and satellite dish? Would it be likely for foxtel to take the channels? Also, the thing that i don't understand is that one day Tarbs was expanding into the philippines and Fiji, the next, receivership, what happened? Thanks

reuder TARBS will not be back, But don't throw your box and dishes away Yet, you could be using them again. Remember PanAmSat shut down ALL TARBS transponders not just the Pas 8 ku ones.

looks like foxtel stuffed them up i emailed foxtel in march and they said they were looking into more foreign channels by the end of july, PAs satellites are own my Directv who the same owner has foxtel the rival of tarbs plus foxtel would not allow them to broadcast on their satellites too much things in common i think!!! as long as i get my spanish channels back hope someone buys it and continues it!!!

[ 09. July 2004, 09:27 PM: Message edited by: Uruguay ]

Read Phil's post Uruguay, don't rush into it.. He clearly saying that TARBS or the name TARBS will not be back, also only PAS has stopped TARBS using there transponders Not NSS. Actually I hope Whetever they want to call it, pops up on NSS6 or 5, I see NSS5 footprint covers Australia. Steve

Go tarbs, come back from the dead

Please read carfully the above. y You are saying that you emailed Foxtel in March and they told you they are looking into foreign channels by the end of July, strange ??? how did they know TARBS was going to fold in July?. You know there is always conspiracy theories around. But I can tell you TARBS biggest mistake was going to the US yes the United States of America, the second was using ANY FUCKING THING THAT IS CONTROLLED BY THE YANKS and its powerful media entrepreneurs. The name TARBS Australia is dead but for TARBS Europe we will just have to wait and see, SAY NO MORE. Again hold on to your boxes, and for the people that paid up front thats a big mistake, I have said on this forum BEFORE and BEFORE Never allow direct debit or paying up front for a full year in advance its a no, no.

but the channel numbers?? on the tarbs box

Due to the current circumstances facing TARBS a sale of assets needs to be concluded as soon as possible. Therefore formal offers must be submitted by 5pm on Friday, 9 July 2004.

PWC Best of Luck

Hey phill know anything about the channel numbers they are talking about and if all this is true as i can;t find anything on the box??? I'm aware through our call centre that some installers are redirecting subscribers to the NSS-6 satellite," he said. Some channels were still available, but not on the same channel number as previously allocated on the Tarbs service. Mr Ishak said installers simply redirected the satellite dishes, but it was unknown for how long the services could be received.

Who cares about the Channels numbers, as long as you get the pictures, thats what counts. lots of confusion going on , ps you deleted your post ?? [ 09. July 2004, 08:50 PM: Message edited by: P Debono ]

How can i delete the post completly??

Uruguay?? Why are you deleting your post??? I removed the one above but the other 2?.?.?..

think it was taking too much space!!! anyways do you know anything about this thing of the free to air channels from NSS 6 being transmitted on the tarbs box??? or is thats just bad info from the press

hi, im still receiving a signal through the tarbs box, the little yellow light "Lock" is on, but the screen is black, and that little box, "no signal - rain in area?" does not come on. Also i reset the box yesterday and the time etc was reset also, this morning it has the correct time, date etc. Finally when you go to check the signal meter, it's Signal Level 60, Signal Quality 45. Is this something or nothing? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

i have the same thing what does this mean!!!

my orange light goes off and on but no picture and signal is %60 and quality %50 wats goin on???

It means the lights are on but nobody home. Pas playing tricks thats all, Move your dishes to NSS6 for Some of their channels (mine going up on Monday) look at Lyngsat for whats on NSS 6, the TARBS name is gone but some channels still there. In the next few days I will find out whats going on and it won't come from Newspapers, we all know who owns them.

NSS6 is no go here got roof in the way and other houses so i guess B3 will do for the greek channel for the time being

Hi, What do you mean move your dishes to NSS6. Does this mean that move the dishes that TARBS install ie the small 65cm dish and if so to which direction?? Mike

Have a nss6 dish setup for Ku,its own dedicated coax to the Tarbs Box stb3100 with legit sub card,powered up stb,no pics,anywhere.sig.strength 75,quality 2-8 fluctuating on stb sig.meter. reset stb,entered all ku band freq.and s.r.changed polarity H to V and back ,map channels,still nothing no change.seems a firmware issue with the stb3100 unit no go on Tarbs box and NSS6.Just my findings?if anybody has any further ideas,or tips I will give it a go.

You must use a Digital FTA box for the moment, Don't use the TARBS box it won't work. I will be doing some test next week as on monday I will be putting a 90CM dish up on my roof and its not a easy job to do .

another dish phill how many is that now!!

did you loaded from int701 on the tarbs settop bow with its card and if so how do you do it step by step so i can do it too

[QUOTE]Originally posted by mike9481: [qb] Hi, What do you mean move your dishes to NSS6. Does this mean that move the dishes that TARBS install ie the small 65cm dish and if so to which direction?? Yes [ 11. July 2004, 06:58 PM: Message edited by: ew_289 ]

Mike 9481 Yes move the original TARBS dish, get help if you don't know what you are doing otherwise you will be pulling your hair out to find NSS6. People in WA are very lucky their getting heaps of TARBS channels either on NSS6 or Thaicom 3, For all that live on the east coast of Australia Thaicom 3 at 75deg East is VERY VERY LOW, TARBS could get it in Sydney only because the dish was on top of their building looking over the edge. Phil

Hi Phil, Thanks for your reply, after you have found NSS6 is there anything the settings that needs to be changed for example the frquency settings and any of the other settings. As the previous post can you say what we need to do step by step I will be very greatful Cheers Mike

If you use the TARBS box you can only get ONE transponder at a time, its not like a Nokia or A humax where you can add heaps of different freq/s/r/fec, the TARBS box is classified as a DTH box you put the home freq in and the rest tag along, same as Foxtel and Austar. On Nss6 if you want to get the both "X" TARBS transponders you must use another Digital FTA box say I use a Nokia I have over 100 different sets Of Freq/S/R and FEC's. Enjoy while it last, I will find out more info within the next week or two regarding the "X" channels on NSS6 and Thaicom.

@ uruguay, no i didn`t, i`m using my own receivers, as i have four lnbs thought a disq switch, i took the tarbs box out, no use for it anymore. and if anyone thinks were going to get a messive fta channels because of what happen to tarbs, your kidding yourself. or that foxtel is going to get it, if they do get anything it will be around 10 to 15 channels, if that. cheers.

[ 27. July 2004, 10:47 AM: Message edited by: roy4hire ]

don;t worry i send them an email about it 3 months ago!! in the us its $20 per month so i guess here it would be too well lets hope so !!! TYC sports emailed me and told me they were looking into it but it was hard at this moment [ 12. July 2004, 04:50 PM: Message edited by: Uruguay ]

Hi Guys, I recieved a reply from world media international it looks like there is something going on there. You have reached World Media International, whish is the distributor of ART Variety, LBC, & Al Jazeera in Australia, NZ, & Asia-Pacific. In FEW weeks we will be able to provide our Arabic channels, in addition to few more Arabic channels, using a small satellite dish. Please send your contact details: name, phone number & address. As soon as the channel line up and price packages are available, we will contact you and offer our service. Mike

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. don't rush into it boys forget Foxtel,NSS6 is getting longer by the day,But a little birdie told me the ????? transponders on NSS 6 might shut down only for a few days to a week, Yes some new Transponder have fired up on Pas 8,Interesting.

He Phil Your admin post are getting Longer, what and who are you Talking to??? i bet its interesting

hey any chance of spanish channels comming back as they were only on pas 2

Al Arabiya, ESC 1 and Antenna Pacific on NSS 6

Hi Phil and crew, (I'll try to remember to call you back tomorrow Phil !!) You say all KuBand transponders turned off on Pas 8 ?? Even the TV Jedi Pay service ?? a completely different company ?? That's 3 Pay TV companies in the last three weeks over Australia.. NSS6 seems to have replaced TARBS with some Arabic channels?? Moderate Christian and Muslim ones.. Turned my big dish to Asia Sat 3, I'll watch NOW TV for free thanks.. and as for TARBS receivers... boat anchors. No way any new service won't be using the NEW WORLD ORDER, ie NDS (news data systems) yeah yeah you guessed it news-corp.. seeing a trend here ?? cheers Flyman..

Yes its been talked about on all forums, for me this TARBS KILLING STINKS to HELL!!! Ring me after 2pm I will be home early today, will be aligning my NSS6 dish this arvo, heaps to talk about. Phil

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Uruguay: hey any chance of spanish channels comming back as they were only on pas 2 <hr /></blockquote>Uruguay Pas2 Spanish channels were only the feeds as all TARBS services were removed so were the ones on Pas 2 in C-band My opinion is if a new service ever pops up the new service will never have anything that goes through the US again in other word KEEP AWAY FROM THE GREAT USA. you have the NEW WORLD ORDER living their now. (Good one Frank)

well said Phill.

HI, Just some more information on World media international I asked them if I would be able to use TARBS' equipment to view the channels that they would supply and this is what they sent back: In the next week you may be able to watch few of the channels to keep you entertained until we resolve the issue. You may use the current equipment until the new distribution structure is clear for all. The channel line up is still not finalised. All that information will be ready in due time and we will certainly notify you with pleasure. Mike [ 13. July 2004, 02:22 PM: Message edited by: mike9481 ]

Very Interesting, we will have 6 Pay TV providers in Australia and you wonder why they are making no money. WMI, I wonder how much money they have lost so far.

To our valued Broadcasters, Last July 2, PricewaterhouseCoopers were appointed by PanAmsat to act as Receivers Managers for TARBS World TV for the non-payment of three months of transponder lease fees to PanAmsat which triggered a clause within a secured note that we have signed with them. This came as a total surprise to Mike and I, who have been trying to get an audience with PanAmsat over the last month and half for a meeting to renegotiate transponder fees and payments. By 11:15am Wednesday, 7 July, we were informed by the Receivers that PanAmsat has made the decision to turn off all signals on PAS 8 Ku over Australia. We made a plea to keep the signals on until 6pm that day to allow us to inform the subscribers of what was to happen and determine how best to manage their questions and emotions. Our request was not granted and at 12 noon Wednesday the signals went down. We are saddened for our subscribers who deserved an explanation, but we were not given a chance by the Receivers to do so. Mike and I are continuing to try to find a solution to this situation and to try to bring the signals back as soon as we can. Unfortunately this will require a few days and probably a huge commitment to PAS for the continued use of their transponders over Australia as well as additional funding to bring the business forward. Mike and Regina Boulos TARBS Australia

Don't throw your boxes away I have been saying this for days!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes FOXTEL owes and has lost hundreds of millions and TARBS got FUCKED up because of 3 months of Transponders lease. I say it again and again, Mike should have KEPT out of "THE NEW WORLD ORDER MURDOCH U.S. EMPIRE" + he should have never use any Satellite controlled by the Yanks knowing that one day it could come back and bite him. In simple Mike Boulos was in Dispute with PanAmSat because the new owners or better still co-owners, Murdoch and company out of the blue lifted the cost on each transponder. Mike Boulos objected to the sudden outrageous increase in costs, which unfortunately caused the above. If Mike could wind back the clock he definitely would have only used NSS satellites, they are reasonable on their prices and looking for new customers, especially for NSS5. [ 14.

Now that TARBS is gone like Galaxy was years ago by the look at it its the local Video shop thats on foxtels shopping list next, Read it on another forum it saying that foxtel is suing the Video industry.

Like I said Forget Pas 8 Totally Forget it!!! Start looking for NSS6 because you never know in the next few weeks what will happen. Don't buy nothing yet! Start looking If you can get NSS6 At 95 Deg EAST because if you can Hummmmmmmmm Just be patient.

i know i cant get NSS6

p debono is it possible do get this nss6 with tarbs equip. or u still need something?

Depending if a service starts on NSS6 for a while you will be able to use any Digital Free to air box, But it will be encrypted months after and it won't be the MDS your your old TARBS box, many reasons but one of the main ones will be PIRATES HACKED THE SHIT OF THE MDS BOXES, The new company will not be a part to that. Phil

i just hope that we don;t have to pay another installation price and higher monthly price i think if its going to be the same owners they should regognise old tarbs Subs and give them free installation and months equivalent to what they owe e.g they owe me 2 months so i should get free installation (mainly they should chanel the stb no need to change the dish i think??just direction) Plus months free service well not really free as i already paid for it to tarbs!!!

Who knows what will happen, But it could be a complete different owner?

On the Tv globo site it states a note from 15th July say that Tarbs will within 7 days be giving notice if they will start to transmite their service again thats a deadline of 22nd July !! So i guess their still brathing but on their last hopes we have to wait and see !!!

TV INTERNATIONAL GLOBE IN AUSTRALIA: yesterday, 15 of July, we receive notice from company TARBS who will give definitive notice on the reestablishment or not of its commercial activities in the Oceania in up to 7 working days. We go to postar the browse-quality notice, here in the site. translated by the http://babel.altavista.com/babelfish/tr

by the way it looks hard finding that nss6 as i have no experience with these antenna adjustments it might be best to leave it....i am sure i might just s_rew something up! Uruguay were u found that link TV INTERNATIONAL GLOBE IN AUSTRALIA...whats the site...I hope TARBS gets on its feet!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/default/tongue.gif" />

FROM THE MINISTER FOR CONSUMER AFFAIRS DATE: Friday, July 16, 2004 TARBS WORLD TV AUSTRALIA STOPS ITS PROGRAMS TARBS World TV has stopped non-English language broadcasts and has been placed in the hands of a receiver, the Minister for Consumer Affairs, John Lenders, said today. Mr Lenders said the company was off the air and had stopped broadcasting all programs. "Consumer Affairs Victoria has heard that unscrupulous people are convincing TARBS subscribers to pay for a device to restore the service. Nothing will restore the service as it is not a reception fault - there is no program," Mr Lenders said. In view of the closure of the service and the attempts to trick subscribers, Consumer Affairs Victoria is issuing the following warning and advice: 1. Do not believe the sales pitch that a device will restore the TARBS service. 2. Remember that you have a 10-day cooling off period in which you can change your mind about something that was sold to you at your door and receive a refund. 3. Contact Consumer Affairs Victoria on 1300 55 81 81 if you have recently signed up to receive non-English language broadcasts from TARBS, feel you were tricked into signing the contract, or bought a device to restore the signal and can't contact the salesperson. 4. Do not pay any more money to TARBS even if you have only part paid your subscription or if you pay for the service by instalments, either directly or through your bank. 5. Report any direct debit payments processed after 2 July to your bank in writing and request that the transaction be reversed. 6. Also report the transaction to the receivers, Pricewaterhouse Coopers Sydney office. The receivers, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, are placing frequent updates on the their website http://www.pwcrecovery.com and have sent subscribers information in the post. If, after checking the website, TARBS subscribers still need to speak to someone about the situation or obtain further advice on the options for unsecured creditors, a call centre has been set up on (02) 8266 0481.

Uruguay, have you heard about Telefe and TVNChile are talking to foxtel????

nope i haven;t i emailed them tv chile said it was to expensive to come by them sels they needed a cable company to purchase the rights and that the Chilean embacy were working on alternatives. lets hope so i currently watching it on www.jumptv.com but its not the same i hope someone gets it if foxtel better as i already have it installed but we are going one step backwards we had no spanish tv then come tarbs now we are back to the internet and local papers !!!

yeah i feel the same no serbian tv <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/default/frown.gif" /> we only got tarbs in dec last year and never looked back on ch7 9 or 10 or sbs nor abc... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/default/frown.gif" /> but i am hoping, as the serb community is big here theres gonna be soemthing soon again...on tvbn the last tv to be added on ch18 i saw on their site they are in current progress of seeing other solutions to transmit the signal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> (deals in progress)

Yes the transponders on NSS6 still have the test card saying (your favourite channels will be back soon) You know something that we don't know. Something is brewing I hope they all pop up again on NSS6

Just a little side note, P Debono, can you tell us the channels that Tarbs was considering making part of their channel lineup. I remember ages ago, you were saying something about it, but you didn't want to reveal anything. THANKS

my friend told me that in 3 weeks tarbs was back !!! don;t know i mean so much people saying different things

if they do come back what will be different that wont make them go into recievership again they made no money as it was when tarbs was in buisness if mr boulos brings out another pay tv company whats goin to be different for them not to go out of buisness again??? he said it they needed 60,000 subscribers to break even ?? do you think people will fall for the same trick again and pay for a service and dont get it ?? i know i wont be getting it payed for a service for a full year and so have alot of my family, relatives and friends i know we wont be seeing that money again but i wont subscribing if they do come back unless they give me the service i payed for that they didt give to me all i can say is people will think twice this time in paying for this service again cause of the sudden shut down of the service when it was in buisness

Please read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TARBS Australia is FINISHED.FINISHED,FINISHED,FINISHED,FINISHED, READ IT AGAIN!!, FINISHED,, FINITO, in other words TARBS Australia will not be back. BUT!!!! Keep your eyes on NSS6 soon.If all goes well this will be the first forum to post the News on a New service.

what kind of service? who will be running the show on NSS6 P Debono ??

And it won't be TARBS Australia, The trouble is my luck the Mobile will ring when I'm miles away from My Computer, See I have a life I don't live on a computer like some do.

lazer I will keep this brief. TARBS did not go into voluntary receivership, it was forced by PanAmSat. Yes TARBS owed PanAmSat Money, Foxtel and Austar also do and I would like to know how much they owe. Its simple it was a master plan. Not unlike the way it happened to Galaxy ( BECAUSE IT SUITED THE NEW SERVICE CALLED FOXTEL) 7 years ago where they were allowed to operate while in receivership. Just imagine you owe $200,000 to a bank technically you could be $10 to $1000 behind in your house payments, the bank has a right if it wants to to evict you out of your house, change the locks, and you're out. Like you said they had 60,000 customers and needed only 10,000 more to break even??? were the 10,000 extra customers FUCKING PIRACY yes! FUCKING SCUM IN SYDNEY AND MAINLY IN MELBOURNE WERE SELLING MODDED BOXES BY THE TRAIN LOAD. Customs stopped a load of boxes in Melbourne like 1000 boxes destined to a Mr...... in Melbourne and apparently this was the third lot. The Bastard only got a paltry fine for this. Now these bastards were selling these pirated services for around $1000 supplied and fitted for all channels only to family members of a group from that nationality. After TARBS demise this has been thrown out at Government level to change the laws in Australia on PAY TV Piracy similiar to the U.S and Direct TV (Murdoch). Also IF I say, If a new company starts on NSS6 in the next few weeks who know who will own it but I can GUARANTEE you that they will not use the MDS TARBS system thanks to the selling scum in Sydney and Melbourne. Thank them why you will have to throw those Mentor MDS TARBS boxes away. Lazer,,call me Phil

ok thanks Phil I didt know that the MDS system was cracked first i heard bout it now but that pisses me off how they can do that to a pay tv company that brought alot of channels from around the world and they could just take advantage of this it was the only pay tv provider in Australia to bring a mix of channelS from all over the world that were not available previously BLOODY THIEVES !!!!!!!!!!! BLOODY PIRACY !!!!

Well said Phil!, well said!. I personally knew 3 families that had pirated Tarbs services. My opinion there were thousands of pirated tarbs boxes just in Melbourne alone. Steve

same here It was worth it just for the english channels alone

Yes TARBS broomed the piracy problem under the carpet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> .A big mistake on their part. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" /> Phil

Hi Phil, This message was posted on the official site of RTS (Radio and Television of Serbia). In brief translation they are saying that RTS is working on the broadcast arrangements for North America and Australia to provide official broadcast of their program to these countries. They are saying that TARBS broadcast for North America and Australia was illegal??? F****** PIRACY!!! Poštovana publiko RTS-a u Severnoj Americi i Australiji, Pregovori koji će obezbediti kvalitetno i zvanično emitovanje RTS za teritoriju Severne Amerike i Australije su u toku. Molimo za vaše strpljenje. Očekujemo zvanične informacije uskoro. Frekvencije će biti dostupne na našoj web prezentaciji www.rts.co.yu/satelit_home.asp Emitovanje RTS za teritoriju Severne Amerike i Australije je bilo nelegalno, a kao što vam je već poznato, ta kompanija je u medjuvremenu bankrotirala. RTS ulaže sve napore da se uspostavi redovno i kvalitetno emitovanje našeg programa. Vaš RTS

So what they are saying is TARBS was stealing the signal, Its hard to believe something like that would happen. Well they won't have to be worried about it anymore because TARBS is dead and buried. Phil

Not much happening on NSS6 do you think something will eventually start on it for Australian ethnics.

Yes! and It won't be TARBS or MB

The Admin forum updated daily? pity we can't read it.

Yes its a pity!!!! Haaaaaaaa! you will just have to wait and see if any action starts on NSS 6 in the next few weeks

what admin forum???

Down the bottom

You guys still talking about tarbs. It simple! its a Jew versus an Arab and the Jew won.

Cathy What else can we expect from you? By any chance did you see that clown in France telling all Jews to leave France and Europe and move back to Israel?, Why don't you and your tribe move back where you came from and stop sucking this country dry with your fathers doctors surgeries sponging on Medicare?

come on can we keep the chat to what it is on satellite tv and not go into the race factor !!!

From Apsattv "NSS6 ANT1 signal is source feed for Foxtel"

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Uruguay: come on can we keep the chat to what it is on satellite tv and not go into the race factor !!! <hr /></blockquote>Cathy can't help herself.

Yes ANT1 in on NSS6 on the lower band Freq, I will be buying a universal LNBF tomorrow, Although I don't think I will require it when the new services start in the next few weeks.

man you get me all excited about a new service and all can;t you like drop some hints on the channels i mean ok one hint is antenna one but just say yes or no any spanish channels

ABOUT CATHY THE dirty JEW or im sorry you`re only part jewish, anyway, well said Phil, whats does tarbs have to do with jews and arabs, why don`t all you jews go back were you come from you dirty animals. man that pisses me off. they all the same.

I guess the spanish population in australia is not big enough to make money....so bye bye TVChile, and Telefe....no more spanish ever in this country, apart from TVE on ASIASAT2 of course....

roy4hire If cathy is correct what she is trying to say is Rupert Murdoch is of Jewish descent, Michael Boulos is of Arabic descent (Egypt) My parents came from Egypt and I don't give a shit who you are as long as you treat me correctly. But if you don't I'm good for a good old Egyptian curse, and they stick too. Phil

anybody out there can tell me a good frequency to find nss6 a stroung signal for dish alignment tried setting one up today on 12729 v 27500 but didt work i have a tree in the path of nss6 i think which is bout 100 - 200 metres away and my dish sits about 4 - 6 metres on top of the ground any body got any advice on locating nss6 already have a dish on pas8 and optus c1,b1,b3 but not having much luck with nss6 anybody got any advice which can help me ??

We just will have to wait and see and like I said before TARBS is dead, Mike Boulos 50% will not been seen again on the Pay TV arena, but who cares as long as Australia gets serviced again for all us Italians/Arabic/Spanish/Turks and the rest of the Nationalities that make this great country. Phil

Make a stick up, go to Bunnings and buy a angle dangle metre, so you get a correct elevation "Example 20.88 In Brisbane" in Sydney its Around 19.5 Deg elevation, find out your Azimith, I made this stick up 1.5 M long with a small square on the end of it with the angle metre on it and the compass on top, you set it up for correct elevation,Azimith, and look at the stick with your eye, Bingo you will see whats in the way. Remember this, WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY!! No Guess work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Phil

Hi Phil been on the roof all day today without any success <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/default/frown.gif" /> tried all methods and it was a no go i just have to many trees and buildings in the way just doesnt let me pick up nothing of a signal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/default/frown.gif" /> ohh well know of any other ku band satellites that i can use my unused ku band dish for a few extra channels?? Thanks

Lazer 95% of cases of people that cant find the satellite is because of lack of experience, most try to find it with a new dish, new LNBF where they have no clue where the polarity is on it, they get confused because its a offset dish. If they don't have a satfinder they use a standard receiver, that doesn't help, in other words there are too many variables, its a needle in a haystack, with 6 haystacks. Like I said before I have friends that play with dishes, they also tried and failed, tried and rang me still failed but out of the two friends with this problem both now have pictures. One had to have the dish moved 3.5M to miss a Fat section of a neighbours tree, the other was ok he couldn't understand that the Offset dish actually was looking 5 degrees down from level + he also got confused between NORTH and TRUE NORTH Or Magnetic North ( shit I get confused). You will never find anything if you get the wrong north depending what your compass is. I have shown people how to put an offset dish flat like a bird bath and it works 100%. IF I lived near you I would help you and If I say you cant get it TRUST ME YOU CANT GET IT. When I read forums where people say its a couple of inches to the left and a little bit down, you have to be joking, this is guess work. You have to be accurate, correctly polarised LNB, if using a receiver and then you will find it. your going to spew when a mystery service starts soon. Phil

I put up my NSS 6 dish today it took a while but eventually found it. The compass can be a tricky thing, the ads for the porno channel are inviting!! Pete

yeh i know i will be spewing but i have been trying all day and havent had any luck and i cant move the dish anywere else i have a live in a semi house and only have access to 1 side of the roof and the side is even is a worse postion there is a big double storey house across the street in front of me and more buildings and trees behind there that i think is preventing me from getting anything if anyone is in the sydney area and is willing to help out please let me know cause i am running out of ideas to get this working? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/default/frown.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/default/frown.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/default/frown.gif" /> HELP!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/default/frown.gif" />

My NSS6 dish is about 1 meter away from my next doors house and below the roof line of the next doos house and working fine on an 85cm offset dish very easy to pickup NSS6.

There is always a possibility that you wont get it but it worth a go. A reasonably experienced guy with the right equipment will find it without using a sat finder or anything that has electricity going through it. Again my finding tool is the best, Its a Straight 1.5M stick with a angle gravity meter and a compass on it, and I can put it on a tripod too. It takes me only 5 minutes to let you know if you can get it. Its simple. I make it go up or down and stop at the elevation of NSS6 20.5 Deg, then I swing it around left and right and stop it where the compass tells me at 286deg, don't move it!!! then look at the entire length of the stick with your eye and thats where the Sat will be. Like I said before with this home made gadget I was able to go back and forth on the roof till I found a Gap of no more then a metre between two FAT trees over 30 metres high and the trees were 100 metres away. I'll tell you what I will do for you, I will take a photo of it and put it on the forum or I will email it to you. Phil

phil you are going to confuse people that don`t undestand about dishes, people don`t know what you mean when you say 286 degrees. here`s my tip; do a stick as phil mention ect. take your local street directoryand look for your street and place it the same way, then move your dish to 95 degrees as were your street directory. dicline your dish to about 19 degrees and fine tune. from pas8 you have to move you`re dish east( to you`re left). cheers.

Phil can you post a picture of that home-made super duper tool you've got....I want to see what it looks like....

Laser Like I said before, I look for a satellite without a wire around me forget trying to find it with a satfinder or a dish or a reciever, My magic stick with the angle dangle protractor and compass NEVER misses. Phil

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by ew_289: My turk neighbour has itchy feet on the loss of his Tarbs channels, any news on new services for them. Steve <hr /></blockquote>theres always TRT on optus B3

I cant believe this, I cant put the image in the forum, other forums allow you to up load an image can you please email me and I will send it to you all. Hummm the forum has a glitch, time for an upgrade. Now all I want you to read this Carefully!!!!!!!!!!! I read the above, whats 286? Help help help!!! Its hard to explain...the way it is done you go to Lyngsat.com, you look for satfinder, but before you do this, you must know your latitude and longitude where your house is (I have a GPS tracker). Now, I know you haven't got a GPS tracker so at least its good enough if you live in Sydney or Melbourne or Perth or Adelaide or Brisbane, find out the latitude and longitude of each capital city. Once you have that, you go to Lyngsat satfinder (you must have the latest Java otherwise the computer won't operate, most of the time it will ask you to download the latest version if you don't have it), once in satfinder, click the satellite you want to look for eg NSS6, you then click the point of the arrow as close as possible to your state and you compare the figures between latitude and longitude on Lyngsat to what you have written on your piece of paper. Keep playing with the mouse pointer until you get it as close as possible to what your state is eg.. Brisbane, when I get it as close as possible to my house/Brisbane eg Lyngsat shows where the pointer is aiming at 27.34, 152.31, and at the same time, it will give you the figures of the elevation and azimuth, position of NSS6 for the 27.34, 152.32 which is azimuth 286.31 and elevation of 20.88 degrees. So, all I do with the 286.31 and elevation of 20.88 is I grab my stick, I spin the compass around till it stops at the length of the stick 286, thats good enough and I lock it in that position. The elevation protractor, well as you lift it up and down, the elevation goes up and down, so what I do is go on the roof of the house, I move the tip of the stick up and down until I have my 20 degrees elevation, then I move my stick left and right until the north needle stops at north (remember that the 286 is aiming to the end of my stick), so once the needle is aiming to north the stick has to be aiming at 286 degrees, extremely very close, give or take a .2 here and there where the satellite is. Make sure while you are doing this that the elevation is still at its 20 degrees. When both figures are correct (the 20 degrees and the 286) just follow your eye on the end of the 1.5 metre stick, thats where the satellite is, give or take .2 of a degree here or there. Trust me, when we have a situation where the satellite is hiding in small gaps where you live, this stick is the best thing I have ever made. Just email me your email address and if you want, you can later give me your phone number and talking to you will be easier over the phone (after 7pm when its cheaper) as long as I don't have to ring too many up. I will say this again, my friend knows a bit about sat stuff, he gave up. I just went over to his place with my magic wand, walked up and down his roof, the entire length, looking at the elevation, looking at the azimuth whilst walking and when that big long stick aimed between those two big fat tree trunks, I stopped and put a mark on that tile directly below me. These two trees were massive. It wasn't the branches I was worried about, its the big fat trunks. They definitely would have wiped the signal out. The trees were approximately 150 metres away and the trees were only about 4 metres apart, so if you are on the roof of your house, you haven't got much to play with. Regarding new services on NSS6, yes they are still coming, could be slightly delayed until the end of September. Phil

Hi, On appsattv.com it has been rumoured that TARBS are going to start up a new service on B3? It will be under the name of UBI - united broadcasting international. mike

that would be good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> if they do that as i have better luck getting B3 then NSS6 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />

I do not believe that! For B3 to be economical (as it has 54 MHz transponders) you would have to use 1/2 transponder and have 2 transport streams per transponder. That gives you plenty of channels per transponder but at a 6 dB output backoff meaning better get your 1.2 M antennas ready for the SMALLEST size. Why else do you think B3 sits there with only all the commercial Optus (ie Aurora) services on 12407. Alternative Optus charge less, but you think that will happen? That is why ALL satellites not for DTH Ku are all 36 MHz transponders!!

The re-birth of TARBS on B3, I don't think so, but stranger things have happened

It will ONLY happen if Optus give them I am guessing two transponders for the cost of one, else its so cost prohibative. Ecomomics dictate you pay millions for transponders per year, that equals a certain cost per customer. You have to pay programming costs out of that as well. If you have to basically start again, that means potential new installs, certainly a cost for repointing and replacing receivers (thats porovided you purchased the existing equipment else its a reinstall). Means it takes time to install a new client base, its like starting all over again, so running costs are critical. So your initial customer base is zero... The ball is in Optus court, but if they do allow such a cheap deal, opens the doors for others also, only time will tell. Also your doubling space segment costs. back in the days of Thaicom 3 / PAS 10 there was no high power Ku into Australia so you HAD to rebroadcast everything again. Why would you do that again instead of coming straight off NSS 6? You have to have NSS 6 to bring in signals. Its already high power, you just want to spend mega bucks for a few sites in the East that have problems with receiving NSS 6. People have to remember your paying money out per year like telephone numbers for transponders. After all it has to make money...

Yes NSS 6 or Nothing, If a new service is going to start it has be lean and mean, and out of Australia otherwise it will fail.

REBIRTH OF TARBS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA

Yes, a short corner.

lets just hope that its that old tarbs with the same line of channels..... so glad it hasnt died!!!!!!

HELLO ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG B4 TARBS REAPPEARS...SBS a few weeks ago said something about it coming back...does anyone know whats happenin out there? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/default/shocked.gif" />

My guess its in the hands of the Lawyers and we all know how slow they are.

What actually happen with Tarbs, I heard that in the USA couldn't get the business that they wanted and because some money support for Palestine US has shot them down. what is the real story.Can any one elaborate. something about Tarbs was in News Paper in Sidney.
