| Charles at least you came here to give some explanations. Can I ask you how will you be able to add more channels? Have you rented another transponder? If what you say is true then channels will be banging on my 2.4m dish here in Paphos! I am ready to verify the signal as soon as the channels reappear to give an impartial review on reception. I will also try reception on an 85cm dish. |

| Well,I´m trying to think about this announcement by Charles. I know that satellites,once launched,don´t usually have the option to increase the output power of their beams. Especially considering Intelsat905 which is not the best sat in terms of health. I´d be very surprised to see a power increase. But on the other hand,if Charles decided to reappear here with this surprising announcement,this means he probably has a joker to play. |

| Another question for you Charles:how can you put more than 24 channels on one transponder? Yes MPEG4 is a good compression format,but really i see no room for more channels. |

| One of the main reasons for this change is to satisfy the many enquiries from Cyprus and a couple of other countries from potential customers that cannot or will not have a large dish. We listened and have responded positively. http://www.uktvdirect.com/ |

| Yes it has to be said the previous setup was substantially unpractical here in Cyprus. But still I´m wondering how you will manage to increase the power in order to lower the dish size needed.. |

| Hi Charles I know nothing about Sat' TV, I have the very basic Digiturk package. If I signed up for UKTV what will I get for my money ? how many dishes do I need ? Who fits the package and where do I get the card from ? Oh ! how many UK TV channels will I receive ? BM |

| You need a special receiver for the service and yours is probably not suitable. Wait until the full details are published in the next few days and if you are still interested then we will arrange for an installer to call and give you a quotation. |

| Why is it that you always promise something "Starting Very Soon". But never seem to come back to say "Well Here It Is". Do you hope that people may sign up to you just in case what you are saying is actually the truth? If I were to want a good reliable service then I would go to someone I trust, Iceman! Paul |

| They have had to move from Intelsat due to problems with the satellite and tranponders...as predicted by 6m...and shot down by someone else!!!!! So not exactly "we listened and decided to improve the system", more "we had to move"... as per the post http://satandpcguy.com/forum/a-polite-discussion-t392-15.html#p1188 from someone who seems to know more... Apparently no service at the moment, but negotiations for another satellite with a larger footprint are in the offering. |

| I did read post 1. And decided to post the real reason why the system is not working at the moment, and why it is on the move, and why reception will / should / may / may not be better in the future. As you did not. Not very customer focused are you. Fancy not telling them the truth. Why not just post the reason for change in the first place and stop all the guessing and "cryptic" messages? And re "negative debates", it just goes to show 6m knew what he was on about when he said that the satellite was on its last legs and may not last long....so much for your 3 year contract with Intelsat!!! |

I like factual comments and not guesswork & coming from somebody that lives with their mother in Torrevieja and cannot afford to buy a house in any country but posts saying they are moving around europe looking where to buy a place to live as if they are a wealthy property tycoon, get real and stop posting just for your own entertainment, maybe if you got a job and spent more time earning a living instead of sponging off your parents you would have a little lees time to spin your tales on here ! mmmmmm was correct on a few things: 1, The satellite footprint is poor for the Cyprus area. 2, The satellite does have some issues but more than were explained to us at the time we started to use it. cont. |

| But you and mmmmmm are very wrong about most other things. We are still in business after more than 6 months. We moved because Intelsat could not deliver and we have moved to the satellite that we will be using very soon because of demand from Cyprus and other countries. We are not being cryptic about anything and have even posted the new satellite details on the website. We are expanding the service to include more channel choice and a much stronger signal in fringe reception areas. SO IN SHORT IF YOU WANT FACTS WATCH THE WEBSITE: http://www.uktvdirect.com or wait for a FATUAL POST ON HERE AND NOT ILL INFORMED RAMBLINGS FROM THE GUESSING MAN FROM TORREVIEJA WHO'S MUMMY STILL DOES HIS WASHING. |

| "We moved because Intelsat could not deliver...because of demand from Cyprus and other countries." against "polites" post of "satellite failure" meant yu have to move to another satellite.... So are you then saying that the poster "polite" on the forum I linked to is a GUESSING MAN with ILL INFORMED RAMBLINGS??? He claims to be from your signal supplier...or very closley link to BTNSAT.... So it is not too good for you if you are dissing your signal supplier by calling his posts on that forum as lies and ill informed! Left hand - right hand... "We are not being cryptic about anything " so what was "Watch our website over the next 2 weeks and all will be revealed" and "Next exciting episode coming soon " and "Get your spanner and satellite tuner ready" all about....could you not have just posted a messgae ot your cliebnts saying due to satellite failure we are moving to a new satellite and your dishes will be realigned for free....saves the "davinci code" crap... |

| "You know nothing and are just guessing and taking information from other people who know very little also." So are you saying the person posting as "polite" on that forum knows nothing....and is guessing.... Even though he states he is closely linked to BTNsat, has been authorised to post all the information on that thread and has been very well informed of the issues and questions posted to him on that forum... It does not look too good if two "agents" are saying different things is it? |

| Nice attempt at sympathy James but someone i know very well saw you in your local with you mother last friday night so i think your attempts at trying to make me look bad are scraping the bottom of the barrel now ! You are just taking negative comments from people who have vested interest in installing satellite tv via a large dish and taking their comments as factual. As for other people that state they have a link to our service maybe they do but not as high profile as they may try to make out, remember that in your area there are loads of X telmicro installers working for 50€ a day that now install for anyone that offers, maybe they think they are intune with this new system but their knowledge is limited and all information that they submit should be taken with a pinch of salt. The true facts will be posted here and on the website soon. Please try and restrain your comments unless you actualy know what you are talking about ! |

| So, if as you say "polite" is lying and there was not a transponder failure, why would the system be removed from the already-to-be-known-to-be-ailing Intelsat before a suitable replacement satellite was found - leaving your hundreds of thousands of clients without TV for a week....without any suitable announcement of this prior to this happening, and no confirmation a suitable replacement has yet been contacted.... At least "polite" has given more information about the system in a more professional manner than youself. And who knows where "polite" is based...any one can post on any board whereever they are located...he may even be in Morocco...he may even be you for all we know in a Jekyl and Hyde guise.... "Nice attempt at sympathy James but someone i know very well saw you in your local with you mother last friday night!" V unlikely my mother would have been in a pub - especially the one i was in last weekend when I was in London where I was all weekend for the rugby.... |

| James - i did not say that the transponders had not failed or your source was lying i said that their information was to be taken with a pinch of salt ! You need to pay attention ! Also the NEW satellite is confirmed if you had checked our website you would know this ! ** You are not a nice person using family members as a weapon and lying about their state of health please refrain from such low and dirty tactics it is not nice and has no place anywhere on a public forum, do you have no respect or scruples ? ** |

| Confused. If you are not denying the facts that the trasnponders have failed, why say those posts by someone who is linked to BTNSAT (maybe in the same way you are?) with "a pinch of salt"? Especailly when they posted the reason why your service has gone own on Intelsat, and you have not, but only just now, confirmed what he has been saying all along? "Also the NEW satellite is confirmed if you had checked our website you would know this !" Which you could have easily posted on here also... Can you confirm the frequency yet...or do we have to guess at that or wait for "polite" to post it? "You are not a nice person using family members as a weapon and lying about their state of health" You mentioned my mother first, i corrected you about her health, you claim to know me, or know someone who does, who saw me in a place i have been to twice...so "please refrain from such low and dirty tactics it is not nice , do YOU have no respect or scruples?" |

| Oh no! What has Torrevieja to do with Cyprus? James let´s keep things technical. I have taken my old 85cm dish out from the garage and waiting for Charles to give details so i can check if signal is strong enough here in Paphos. |

| "James let´s keep things technical. " I thought I did by posting a link to the real reason for the move between satellites. "Intelsat905 is not reliable anymore" And why ALL BTN / uktv services are curently unavailable. "The failure on Intelsat transponders is so serious that all (BTN) services had to be removed" And a link which posted the satellite company they are considering using. "negotiations with EUTELSAT" And asking for the frequency now that charles has confirmed the satellite being used. Personally I think I have posted / linked to more information about the situation than charles's "guess whats going to happen" posts!! I never started the personal stuff re my mother, or 6ms family on other thread... |

| I am sure it will appear on more satellite technical forums before it appears on here....just like the Intelsat frequencies did...as they will have to do all their tests first (if they do any ) The satellite at 9 east (if that is the one they will end up using) is the same one that carries the standalone BBC Prime that covers most of Europe, so reception should be fine over most of Europe...why not hook up you dish now and look at a site like lyngsat.com for some frequencies to paly with? Or look at the footprint maps on there also? |

| Your dish would need moving or you could put up a 2nd small 85cm one and you will need a new different receiver and viewing card. |

| Spud - you are probably correct in your observation, i would stick with what you have if you are only using your property for short time periods in the year. C.U - New satellite / transponders and internal testing take time to implement please have some patience ! |

| re msg 53 Rowlo Oh I'm around.. 'Charles' how many subscribers are going to trust you by stumping up 500 plus Euros for a service I predicted would have 'issues' ... you made a crummy biz / tech decision to use Intelsat 905 and said I was 'jealous' ... I told you it would never work in Cyprus, you constantly told the punters I knew nothing... ;) Your dish size estimates were *mine*.. eventually Your biz model ( relying on punters to stump up big up front payments ) will NEVER float financially.. You will now need to pay out 40% more for a more reliable satellite You 'claim' your service cannot be hacked.. I say it can and is, and in the north of Cyprus - IF your service gets off the ground, it will no doubt be 'available' via card sharing.. It is 'interesting' how a company could lose service and take so long to arrange an alternative.. I VERY much doubt you are involved in 'negotiations' - and wonder why you would be so 'busy' and 'un-contactable.' |

| Lastly, I just love the way you gloss over a complete lack of service as 'fantastic news'... you would make a good spin doctor for the present UK govt.. and just as believable.. PLEASE folks.. if you value your savings .. do NOT pay huge up front payments - insist on paying monthly - by credit card. ANY reputable, legal sat company offers this service..if they don't - WALK AWAY... |

I think not ! I will not be getting into heated debates with you this time so do not waste your time as all it does is spoil the thread and eventualy causes its closure. |

| I think beanbag is right about the meaning of hacking. Technnically speaking a hack is compromising an encryption system by extracting working keys from a smartcard and programming them in a pirate card. Instead cardsharing does not violate the system,it uses a network to share the operational keys taken from an official smartcard. Beanbag i remember you said you had the system installed. Now that it is down have you contacted who installed your system? What did they tell you? |

| OK - seen as though you are trying to be a smart arse once again and create bad will for our venture let me ask you a question mr so called TV expert All these people (forum members) that you are recommending should install a 1.8m dish and buy a SKY HD receiver and subscribe to SKY so that they can receive some UKTV channels in Cyprus (Not the main ones they really want though). Are you absolutely 100% sure that they will still be able to receive them in Cyprus in 12 months time ? |

| Dear 'Charles' re msg 110 Unlike you I'm happy to answer questions.. But first- do tell us where I was wrong about you being clueless about Cyprus and the Eastern Med market...? I warned you about 'your' choice of satellite and you got personal about my Wfe, referring to me as a 'pirate', jealous 4.2m dish seller, and much more... You tried to belittle my knowledge of the market ;) I KNOW you fibbed about the number of clients you had in Cyprus and dealers .. you can't EVEN be honest about what went wrong with Intelsat 905.. No.. I can't be sure that ITV will be available on a 1.8m dish.. but I do know that 30 plus REAL HD channels will work and folk can receive those channels for a LOT less .. than 595 Euros .and can pause / record - time shift - to suit the CY +2 time difference. I even know of a service, that is in advanced beta test - NOW - that will offer BBC / ITV, etc., in Cyprus - that will render your service obsolete .. *I* don't fib..

Dear 'charles' from 'UK tv not so direct' re 113 >>He is trying to put the boot in yet again and he is talking about a CRAPPY internet TV service<< Nope .. you see I was FAR better at knowing your plan and how it wouldn't work.. ..It was never necessary to 'put in boot in' .. you had already shot youselves in the foot .. no help needed from me... I just prophesied it.. What I'm talking about will supply UK TV via an ordinary sat receiver or SKY ones if the folk want to subscribe... I note - as usual - you studiously avoiding answering the Qs that demonstrate you TOTAL lack of forward planning - from a marketing and technical perspective... WHY would ANY ONE believe a word you say.. let along trust an agent with nearly 600 Euros - with no recourse - eludes me .. |

I had reason to keep things quiet at the time as well but as you are obviously involved in a competitors business you continue to slate our service, talk about hidden motives. You will be outed as the RAT in disguise that you really are in the end. By the way on a non related topic can you please change your profile foto as your picture is very strange, i will not say what you look like on here as its not the place but i strongly recommend a change. |

| mmmmmm - 'Uk tv not so direct' *is* the copy - a PIRATED service... " If you say that there is a new service coming to Cyprus that will show BBC1 / ITV1 etc and its not streamed via the internet then it must be via satellite or rebroadcast via microwave or cable which the BBC etc as you keep telling everybody do not allow so what is the difference between that and the UKTV DIRECT service that you continuously slate and put down ? Keep your fantasy services coming mmmmmm people are not stupid they know when you are on the wind up. |

| Have you though that the system has not been officially annouced so certain details may be withheld for "commerically sensitive reasons". Once the system is up and running your questions will be answered as it will be in the public domain. As opposed to not answering questions on a system that has been launched..... |

| As you should be aware many companies try to withhold details of their latest ventures until an offical launch date and when testing is done. I am sure that it any new service will be announce in due course, maybe even by spamming forums..... |

| I very much doubt anything actualy exists at all apart from in mmmmmm's imagination ! As I am sure that he would not recommend anything that he deems as being illegal or pirated. Given that he says its not via the internet and also tells us constantly that the BBC etc do not allow the rebroadcasting via satellite, microwave or cable of their programs then how can any other type of system be possible that comes up to his high expectations and double standards. |

| Good Morning, Jeannie ;D 'Carl from Paphos' ... as I said to 'Charles'.. you will hear =like everyone else - when it is ready to launch.. Folk can then judge ( AGAIN) whether it is 'charles' or I that has the 'over active imagination' ! What I can confirm is that it WILL be legal..without ' ' LEGAL.. I wouldn't advise folk to invest in anything else.. |

| Dear 'Carl from Paphos' re msg 139 Permission from the BBC will NOT be needed - no re broadcasting involved - BBC's channels are broadcast in clear - no encryption.. Does one need permission to watch BBC in France? |

| "What I can confirm is that it WILL be legal..without ' ' LEGAL.. I wouldn't advise folk to invest in anything else.." mmmmmm - I do not understand how you can say this now as in the past you have said that the only way to get it legaly here in Cyprus is direct from the Astra 28 satellites, has something changed that no one else apart from you knows about ? I think not ! Maybe he is talking about "Real Tv" which is exactly the same as Freesat and Free SKY and from the same satellites but with a different EPG and some extra paid content but still requires a monster dish in Cyprus to watch the main channels of interest ! Other than that it can only be some form of Internet TV which mmmmmm says its not ? |

| Mark "Permission from the BBC will NOT be needed - no re broadcasting involved - BBC's channels are broadcast in clear - no encryption.. Does one need permission to watch BBC in France?" No permission is required in France but only if it is direct reception of Astra 2D satellite at 28 East. |

| Mark A 4.2m dish is required for BBC in Cyprus! With my 2.4m here in Paphos I don´t get the slightest signal from Astra 2D. |

| Well I´m an installer and here is my opinion on this: Charles in part deserves the criticism because his system is not even broadcasting now and nobody knows when it will start,and up to now there is no sign of testing coming from Eurobird 9. But Mark is not clear either by saying it will be possible to get direct reception of Astra 2D in Cyprus without a large dish.Whereas this can be achieved only with very large dishes from 3m upwards to 4.2m. |

| C.U - Even if you were the head of the BBC mmmmmm would argue with you as he is so far up his own backside that he thinks he knows more than everyone on the planet about TV. The thing that suprises me the most is if he is as good and intelligent as he thinks he is then what happened with the Internet Streaming TV service that he runs it is far from the work of a professional and looks like a 15 year old students hobby project ! |

| Dear 'Carl from Paphos' re 146/8 All you say is true.. in fact I'd recommend a 4.5m in Paralimini / Ayai Napa if the dish is shared.. In Paphos - if your 2.4m is a Portugese Famaval, you can fit extensions and re-enfoce the dish .. you'd get 2D just fine.. >> Mark is not clear either by saying it will be possible to get direct reception of Astra 2D in Cyprus without a large dish.Whereas this can be achieved only with very large dishes from 3m upwards to 4.2m.<< All in good time, 'Carl' .. I mean who would advertise something ANY ONE in the industry knows will never fly - technically or financially ..and without researching the dish sizes required? Where are all these clients in Cyprus who had installs? Where are all the agents ? |

| This has got to be a wind up as ever since this topic started, and not just this thread, but quite a while back, there doesn’t seem to be anyone who has the UKTV Direct system in TRNC. And without trawling through all the previous posts I can’t recall ever reading a note from anyone who has actually got the UKTV Direct system and is watching it and can say it works. So, begs the question again. Is there anyone out there who has this system and can comment upon its quality? We could then possibly move on a little and get away from the pointless jousting about who has the biggest and best dish. Chegwin |
