[MLB-WIRELESS] On the subject of galaxy/tarbs antennas

[vak at alphalink.com.au]

Hi All,

Tarbs is definitely satellite, but I think you'll find it hard to get any
gear off people yet... There is a chance the company will be bought
out/resurrected, etc (or at least people who lost their service just over a
month ago would like to think so).

Re: 2.3Ghz MMDS in Melbourne, I heard there was a Spanish or Portugese
channel, but can also not confirm this.

Also the recievers from the TARBS system are kinda useless (they aren't a
standard receiver). You can buy brand new dishes with LNB for around the
$80 mark anyway.

Cheers,

Vaskos

Tarbs is a Satelite, ie Parabolic dish, system on NSS6 and PAS8 for memory.

I did hear of some 2.3 GHz MMDS Ethnic TV still running in Melbourne but can
not confirm?

Mark
