Not good news..trouble with MED

Will let Tony respond so he can explain.

[BeepeeNZ]

That would be right ,damn MED sticking their noses in. Oh well just means I will have to get more dishes but I would hope something positive comes of it.

[kiwisteve]

MED normally only ( stick their nose in ) if the service is not compliant with the licence !!

the men from the minestry strike again :piange::piange:

I wonder if it is the MED. I went to the orcus.net website, and found a link to orcusmedia.com The link didn't work, so I typed the URL in and ended up with a web page indicating that the domain had expired. (Link below) Unusual for a media company to let a website lapse. I hope this does not bode ill for the folks at Orcus.

Anything heard elsewhere?

well one could suggest checking if orcus is linked with mr d ,another option is call the MED and ask them ?????

[Apsattv]

I already told you what the problem is, don't speculate.

It's being sorted

Time he used some of the (( Spare )) Ku satellite capacity !!

[Dimwitt]

Hmmmm, Satellite + Orcus, Could be Quite some IMPACT if that happend.

Whens it all going to eventuate ?.

Not wanting to sound like a Scratched Record, But Whens this service going to launch ?

Still awaiting unveiling of the SupaTenna ...

Watch this space !!:_capelli:

I think Med will find them a Terrestrial freq to use while they work on the satellite service.
