Hi,<br /> 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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Why else do you think B3 sits there with only all the commercial Optus (ie Aurora) services on 12407.<br /><br />Alternative Optus charge less, but you think that will happen?<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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).<br /><br />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...<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.
