Dialog TV have activated SET Max and SET SAB. The Dialog TV Promo Channel and VH1 have been replaced with SET Max and SET SAB and the present SET channel will remain and will not be replaced as published earlier.
In addition Rs 500/= package customers will get the opportunity to watch the ICC World Cup 2007 by paying an additional Rs 200/= to their subscription in order to activate SET Max and SAB for the duration of the World Cup.
We feel that VH1 should not have been replaced since it is the only English Music Channel available instead a channel such as Zee Music, MTV, Animax or maybe even a local channel position should have been used instead. We hope Dialog TV will take the necessary steps and introduce SET SAB on to an existing Hindi language channel. Replacing VH1 may upset some subscribers because this is a widely watched channel.

I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM. THE DIALOG TV PROMOTIONAL CHANEL ISNT BEEN REPLACED BY ANY OTHER CHANNEL. EXEPT IT SAYS THAT THERE IS AN E16 ERROR.
AND SET CHANNEL IS REPLACED BY SET MAX. IS IT A PROBLEM?
MY VH1 CHANNEL IS STILL THERE. I DUNNO WHY.
PLZ HELP.
I think DTV has messed up the scene again,Why drop VH1 when there are enough bullshit channels they should have dropped.This is real proof of what kind of peoople are running the show at DTV.Sure enough this must be the work of the lord Sales Manager
@ cuteguy. no need to do any reset in da system. its take some time to get update. tune in to channel 26.set max is replaced to SAB temporally. KIT n NJOY.
I belive that Dialog is testing the channels and the channels may be transfered to announced positions soon. But I am happy to say that SET Max clarity is good and better than some other channels.
@ don
I agree, Set SAB replacing VH1 is really a blow. Has anyone really confirmed this? Maybe they could replace MTV India OR Zee Music instead. Who knows. Maybe they will change their mind. Or maybe this is not the real plan.
I hope they don't replace CH01 with SAB because the most important is the Engish feed in Set MAX.
@ cuteguy and others
Lets wait and see...
I thought it was a problem in ma system. Anyway, hope they WONT REPLACE VH1. Bcoz according to most guys the vh1 is the only 100% music channel. Most of the others are almost hindi crap. Anyway, hope they would do their tests and stuff like that, and somehow get the work done by Wednesday.
Jaya wewa
As of 7.00 pm:-
CH01 SET Max
CH25 SET Max (Unclear)
CH26 ITN
DTV technical are working hard on this thing. Dont know what Mr. anthony is doing. Playing Cricket 2007 on his computer? Having dinner? I wonder if he knows what is going on in DTV. Maybe. Maybe not. Hope he is attentive to notice the technical team are introducing two new channels.
Tests will be done by today, or atleast they are going now at a vigerous pace. As you may have noticed, quality of TP2 Zee channels have decreased. This could be in order to give more bandwidth for Dialog.
I wonder if they would put the original SET back in. ANd are they getting SET Pix?
Where is Kalu? Seems to have disappeared for a long time.
test...
I'm a music lover. And I watch VH1 a lot. This is probably my favourite channel in DTV line-up. If they will drop VH1 to brodcast cricket, I'll definitely terminate my connection and I'll go back to DISH TV. (DISH TV is the only option. coz I'm an outsation person. I don't have Comet Cable or LBN here) I just called the customer care and informed this. but as usual they didn't have a proper answer to give.
I mean, this is really insane. VH1 is the only English music channel we have got. Why can't they drop a hindi channel like Zee Music at least a local channel or maybe a cartoon channel? They have got about 4 hindi channels. And there are 4 cartoon channel. Why can't they drop one of those temporally?
Even if you like hindi music you still have MTV!!!
These type of things don't happen if CBNSat was here. Coz VH1 was one of their best channels. And they promoted it widely through English radio stations..Well if you're a music listener you should have noticed it...
If there was a particular channel in the line-up when we purchased the connection, they have no right to remove it. However,they have done it already with FTV. but I'm not gonna stay next time.
I'm an Entertainment person. I'm not into sports. I mean not everyone watch cricket Right? The channel line-ip is really poor.
There are only few channels for entertainment - AXN, ZEE Cafe & VH1. And now they want to drop one of those!!! I don't think they consider adding channels like STAR WORLD & CHANNEL V INTERNATIONAL. These are probably the biggest channels in Asia dedicated to Entertainment and music.
I'm now pretty sick of their service. The picture quality is getting low day by day. Last night I couldn't even watch Zee Cafe properly. Because the picture qulity was damn low...I first thought something was wrong with my dish. but now I know what it's like to live in this land like no other. Since of late the quality level is 48% (specially in the prime time)but I used to get 63% when CBNSat was around. I have no idea what's happening....
Finally, I assure one thing- people who are into Entertainment and music will never go for DTV....
This is my first post here. but I have been reading these blogs since the shut down.
By the way LISURA, pls get in touch with DTV and tell them not to drop VH1 and ZEE Cafe. Doing so will lose a lot of subscribers.
Admin, I would be greateful to you if you could consider my post....
Thanks
Got paper copy of DTV guide today – with the three Nat Geo Channels missing. Of the Zee package, only Zee TV was listed.
We have to go to Cometweb site to get full list.

All of us need Vh1,
Then,
Show matches only on
Ch 1 - Dialog TV
&
Ch ? - Set
Please, leave the Vh1 channels remains...
( Also we need MTV )
Oh great! VH1 has been replaced by SET Max. Whats going on?
I know its testing, but this is not good.
@ Lisura and DTV_SU
Could you please contact DTV and as the if they could use another channels such as Animax or Zee Music, or maybe they should remove the SET channel for now. No one really watches that channel.
Hope that the VH1 removal will not be permanent.
@ sd
Fashion TV was removed because of legal prblems. All pay tv (except Indian) removed FTV. Else we would have been in trouble again for broadcasting "illegal" content.
Dialog can't provide Star World and Channel V because they need a new transponder. They are getting new equipment to support it. Thats why it is getting delayed. they have already signed up with Star, Disney and Sun.
I agree, VH1 is a very good channel and I hope they choose another one to replace. Are they listening?
Picture quality on Zee channels have definitely decreased a lot. Meanwhile SET and SET Max have real good quality.
Still the freezing problem is there even in SET MAX.
I feel very sad for the people who bought DTV for the world cup. They have watch a freezing world cup. Yes the quality is great but freezing is real problem and I don't think they can fix it before 12th.
Even 500 package customers should think again before they pay additional Rs. 200 for the World Cup. I'm very dissapointed and Channel Eye would be much better than this cos we can watch even 5 ball over without freezing.
DTV team,
pl ask your managemnt to hire some Professionals for operating your ground station. Don’t put Your goodwill in endanger. If you treat us (Customers) as fools, near future we have to arrange DTV’s funeral.
Hey DTV Team,
Why do you really replace 1 of the best channel in the lineup , rather than replacing a good for nothing channel. Even the local channels arent worth watching coz of the pic quality. U could changed got rid of 1 of the local channels or a hindi crap channel like Zee Music. The zee channel's pic quality is damn poor. Not even worth watching.
you have got rid of vh1 and the replaced channel SET SAB isnt workiong in ma decorder? it says there is an e16 error though the EPG is there. Is this a common problem or is it oinly for me. Someone please comment on this.
HEY DTV TEAM, U THINK THE E16 ERROR IN THE SET SAB IS A PROBLEM?
HEY GUYS IS IT WORIKING FOR YOU ALL..
@ Cuteguy:
Sorry for the inconvenience.
E-16 ERROR comes, due to the bad receptions/ SIM/ activation ERROR.so northing to,worry,just do a channel reset in your SETUPBOX. tks.
DTV TEAM,
I DID A SYSTEM RESET BUT IT DIDNT WORK. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS WITH SET SAB. (CHAN 26) SET MAX IS WORKING OK.
IT STILL GIVES A E16 ERROR.
ANYWAY, PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO DO A CHANNEL RESET? ( I'M NOT VERY MUCH SURE WHEATHR I DID IT CORRECTLY)
1 MORE THING ARE YOU HOPING TO GIVE SET PIX? IF SO WHAT ARE URLL HOPING TO RELACE IT WITH?
PLZ COMMENT...
THNX
CH24 and CH25 channels are yet to be activated. Or at least I get a Test Card image only on those two. EPGs on 24 and 25 mean that Dialog will (probably)activate them by 12 am. SET Max CH01 shows SET, but they will replace it with Max, wouldn't they.
By the way, I recently saw at a certain cricket stadium, the Max Cricket Academy. It is sponsered by SET Max and was there for a long time. Why would they sponsor if not to advertise. But why would they advertise at all, knowing that no Sri Lankan operators showed their channel at the time it was built (some time ago). MAybe they wanted pay tv operaters to realize the existance of that channel.
@ Ravin
THanks for the info. The info I got must be fake. I really hate those Dialog guys.
By the way, how did you find out about the Star and Sun sign up thing. Was it a Dialog representative or are you working there. Just a question; no problem if you dont answer.
Its good if Dialog sorts out the freezing problem. Actually it has reduced considerably, but when it does freeze it stays frozen for a long time. Then Dialog has to come and sort it out.
@ Ravin:
Thanks for your info; by the way, make sure Mr.Ravin, we are not circulating any rumors. DTV TEAM giving the correct information from the beginning. We have highly trained professional people to handle this type of inquires. So you do not need to worry about any thing.
E16 ERROR:
I got the massage from “cuteguy” around 12.15. once again, check my answer to that question properly, “still we are updating the channels, so its take at least 5hr time to get upload”.....
Still we are updating………… answer for that particular inquiry is correct. Because E16 ERROR comes due to the reception failure/SIM problem/Activation or Upload failure from DTV side…etc. that time we got the signal for Sony SAB properly (for 15-20min). That’s why I ask him/her to do a reset.
Hope you got it. Keep in touch with DTV people. Stay tune & Good luck.
@ Anae:
Please wait for another 32Days.
After a very very long time I had to write this.
If Dialog TV asks for Rs200 more to view SETmax from Rs500 customers, they are robbing us off! There's no argument that Dialog TV is not running a charity. On the other hand what does Rs500 customer have done to deserve this kind of treatment. What is the logic of asking for Rs200 more to add a single channel from one group of customers and not doing so with other groups of customers?
Shame on you DTV!
All of us should understand DTV has put large price
For us to get SET Channels. Then Thanks to DTV, now
We can watch all channels (From Midnight) but little interruptions
(Still has a little freezing
Problem on them )
Then, it doesn’t matter to price up . we never negotiated with DTV to see World
Cup when we’re buying ( Only for ESPN & Star Sports , not even Zee Sports) , Many thanks to the DTV, we’ve got the chance to watch them with add free.
Then, Don’t blame them to price up only 200 rupees , we know it’ll not give any way
to cover up
The amount , they’ve spent for our entertainment & their publicity .
Any way, Well Done DTV !
To Dialog TV,
Now we’ve so many Hindi films channels.
Then , drop the Zee Cinema
For a little while till getting TP3,
&
Give back VH1 without Zee Cinema.
(Even it doesn’t Show Subtitles like Zee TV)
To DTV,
Only 100% English channel from set family is PIX.
Why it isn't give us.
Hope,
Ch 1 (Sony-set) will change to PIX
before the World Cup.
@ DTV Team,
Zee TV's EPG is wrong.
It's 2 hours forward than real time.
check that!
Hello There..
Site meter is getting high very fast but last 9 hours only my comment.
I think it's boring.
Please, Don't go away without doing
something, even you can blame me.
Thanks.
LST - Where are you? Can you fix the WGA link,None of them are working.
SET Max and SAB must be coming through the microwave link, because there were no interruptions as far as I see. Thank goodness for Dialog Broadband.
Also, are they broadcasting Rupavahini and Channel Eye over it. Because their quality seems to have increased too.
@DTV TEAM
I will trust you if you answer this:
Why did you replace VH1, the only 100% English music and lifestyle channel?
Also do you mean we have to wait one onth for TP3. Good, because we have the World Cup to keep us busy till then.
I THINK ITS OK FOR DTV TO CHARGE 200 FROM THE 500 PACKAGE HOLDERS TO WATCH THE WORLD CUP. YOU KNOW WE AS 1400( ACTUALLY 1600) PACKAGE HOLDERS ARE PAYING LIKE 300 MORE FOR THE HBO, HBO SINGATURE, AND ESPN. 9 POGO IS KINDA USELESS ) SO FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD CUP , I THINK 200 IS OK.
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?
Charging Rs. 200 for SET Max and SAB is reasonable, since Dialog would have paid a lot for the broadcasting rights.
The original SET channels still has interruptions, but SET Max and SAB are very satisfactory in quality and EPG. Actually I watched a program or two on SAB, even in Hindi, thanks to the English EPG.
By the way, Cartoon Network (and maybe other channels) shows some programs in Hindi language, and we have to listen to Hindi audio too. This morning I was watching Krypto (dont laugh) on Cartoon Network, and it took me ages to realise why the opening music voice sounded like a Hindi person.
The possible (in my idea) reason is:-
Cartoon Network provides audio feeds to brodcasters numbered as 1, 2, 3... for languages like English, Hindi, Tamil, etc. Then 1 must be default for English feed. Dialog chooses audio feed number 1 to broadcast to us.
Then Cartoon Network sometimes changes the feed 1 to Hindi for certain programs. Dialog has to change the settings to 2 or 3 or whatever has the English feed at that time. This is not really Dialog's fault.
The best solution to Audio problems is that Dialog lets us choose our audio feed. It is possible, since the decoder supports it. Having Tamil audio feeds will surely attract many Tamil speaking customers to Dialog TV. Up to you DTV_SU, DTV TEAM and Mr. Anthony, to get such a system up and running.
All I can say at the moment is that Dialog Team/Technical know waht they are doing better than the sales manager.
Admin, is it possible to get another interview with Anthony regarding the audio problems and TP3, etc.?
By going through all the comments I'm glad that most of the bloggers are with me regards to VH1 issue. VH1 is the only English entertainment channels we got and I'm sure most of you are watching VH1 classics like myself. Removing VH1 is unacceptable and DTV is playing with our freedom of entertainment. There are crap channels like Zee, MTV, SET, Zee music. Dropping one hindi channels will not make a difference. Why the hell they replace CH1 with SET. Why can't they put VH1 to it. If I have an alternative provider I'm willing terminate my DTV connection and go for it but unfortunately I don't have any.

Thanks Ravin.
Yes, at the moment PIX is not such a famous channel and is not too important. They are only showing minor matches at anyrate.
HBO HiTZ and Family will definitely promote DTV since even Tata Sky and Dish TV don't have it (HBO India is awful).
As usual Hulla must be making a fuss about things. But they should authorise DTV since it runs in Ku band not C band. Typical Hulla.
Sun's agreement with Shakthi TV is for free-to-air terrestrial in Sri Lanka. Satellite tv in Sri Lanka is a different matter. Hope they sort it out.
Any chance of Ten Sports, Neo Sports (and +), Free-to-Air like Ariran, NHK, DW-TV, Al Jazeera English, etc?
Lets hope and be patient that DTV can get the required equipment soon and start on TP3.
World Cup boosts TV sales
"Newly launched satellite service Dialog TV has seen a 50 percent jump in sales due to focused promotions targeting the World Cup."
The upcoming cricket World Cup has proven to be a money spinner for firms selling consumer durables like TVs and satellite connection suppliers.
Newly launched satellite service Dialog TV has seen a 50 percent jump in sales due to focused promotions targeting the World Cup.
Nushad Perera, General Manager Sales and Marketing of Dialog Telekom said the company is aggressive on marketing campaigns with the cricket fever build up.
He said prior to Dialog taking over the company (earlier CBN Sat) it had only 10,000 subscribers, but in the last two months Dialog TV has added 6,000 more to the customer base.
“More than half of our growth is due to the World Cup, because the normal terrestrial channels only telecast five balls per over at most, due to advertisements or crawlers appearing on the television screen, but Dialog TV has a direct feed from the ground without any such advertisements except when the teams stop for tea or lunch and our customers are aware of this,” he explained.
Singer Sri Lanka with its 37 percent market share of television sets too is cashing in on the World Cup. “Our sales are expected to increase by about 20 percent during this period,” M. H. M. Fairooz, Brand Group Manager, Singer Sri Lanka said.
Phillips has a similar promotion with a target of 30 percent sales growth, according to industry sources.
Abans is offering a free Dialog TV connection with every plasma television bought. tks SUNDAY TIMES.
This is good news. Lets hope that Dialog sorts out the broadcasting problems and SET Max and SAB will be shown to the viewer's liking.
Most ads we saw on SET Max were probably only for the warm up matches. They woulnd't dare to show ads when the match is being played, or they will lose their customers around the world, and Indians will switch to Free-to-Air Doordarshan.
How come the articles are always wrong though? 10,000 customers should have been 20,000 or 25,000 or have we been fooled for the last year or so?
HEY TEAM,
IN THE MORNING THE SET MAX AND SAB WERE WORKING OK. BUT FROM THE AFTERNOON THEY WERE NOT. ( NO E16 ERROR BUT THIS TIME COLOURED PARRELEL LINES ARE THERE. LIKE THERE WAS NO TRANSMISSION AT THAT TIME.)
I WAS HOPING TO WATCH KAL HO NA HOO BUT I COULDNT BCOZ OF THIS PROBLEM. ARE THEY ONLY SHOWING THOSE CHANNELS ONLY WEN THERE ARE MATCHES BEING PLAYED?
IF SO WHY COULDNT THEY SHOW VH1 CHANNEL INSTEAD BECAUSE SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING.
PLZ COMMENT.....
THANX
@ Gamini
Dialog is doing its best to prevent us having to watch a frozen game of cricket. Evidently the problem is not yet solved, but I doubt its actually Dialog' fault. Maybe something wrong with SET/One Alliance satellite broadcasts.
By the way, Kal Ho Na Hoo and any other progaram on Max and SAB (except cricket matches on Max) is in Hindi language and does not have subtitles.
Coloured parallel lines are called Test Card. Every tv broadcaster has it. It is used when starting, testing or ending a transmission. See Channel Eye after it plays the National Anthem at 11.00 pm. Then you see the Rupavahini Test Card.
Lets hope SET Max and SAB will be up with minimal interruptions by tommorow morning's opening ceremony.
Manil,

Sorry it took so long.
SET MAX & SAB channels are working from last evening.(11.25pm).
Though we have all the sat connections neither SET MAX nor SET SAB showed the opening ceremony. Our good old Rupavahini telecasted it. How sad.
Don't worry. SET Max and SAB will definitely show the matches. Sad they didn't show the opening ceremony. I wonder why?
Lucky I recorded it on Channel Eye on my computer. I almost recorded SET Max with my VCR, but the machine acted up and damaged my tape.
SET Max now has minimal freezing problems, and I hope Dialog does anything necessary to solve it before tomorrow's match. This is going to be an exciting month for all of us! (Provided Dialog does not mess it up)
Thanks LST,Got it.
Now its the vision of Lord Anthony(SALES MANAGER) who seem to mess up in style.
This is the way he is delighting customers and bringing future today.
DTV IS NOT GOING TO SURVIVE UNTILL THEY GET RID OF THIS ARSHOLES.
""Admin : What can we expect from Dialog TV in the future?
Ramesh : The Future .Today""
Mr Muhunthan would never have given such a homosexual answer. That's the difference.
hey guys i inquired from DTV customer service, and they said that removing VH1 is a temporary measure to accomadate SET MAX and SAB to telecast the matches, it would definetly be back after the world cup. Still i wonder why they had to take away VH1??
Guys,
Ten Sports is a must. They are the exclusive broadcaster for UEFA Champions League, WWE, French Open, Tour de France etc.. in the south Asia Region.
When I bought the DTV connection I inquired about Ten Sports & the answer I received was that Comet Cable has the exclusive right to show it in Sri Lanka & this agreement will expire on the 31st March.
Anybody can verify this? Because if this is true then all DTV has to do it negotiate with Ten Sports & air it from the 1st of April onwards.
DTV better be joking if their version of temp, is to take off VH1 until the world cup is over!!!!! As soooo many other guys said, VH1 is a fantastic music & entertainment channel for soo many ppl - including my family! I sincerely do feel that DTV is now on a 1-way street to the grave! They have done too many mistakes, made too many stuip dicisions and been too clueless to operate profitably in such a competitive SatTV environment!
I mean, which idot would have taken out VH1 at all, if they knew their market even 10%????%$^@! F__king DUMB MAN!!!
btw, i just paid my apparently outstanding April 06 bill over the weekend and they told me that i will have to settle the JAN & FEB bills asap to??? i havent even got it yet?? Specially with this kind of crap service from DTV i don't think i want them anymore!
DTV, am a SERIOUSLY dissapointed with your service todate and somehow i don't think we are in for improvements very soon.
@ADMIN
I sincerely believe you are in a fantastic position to colate all these negative comments and issues we all have and get another interview with DTV mgmt (but someone who can give proper answers!)... I think its time DTV customers here got some answers on what solid things DTV are doing to address our concerns!!!
If this happend long way back,Mr Muhunthan is still running CBNsat and we would be realy having future today.
Thanks for the info Shamil.
Manil,
please drop a mail to filenetworks@gmail.com so that i can contact you. It's regarding DishTV payment.
thanks.
Dear all,
I'm selling my CBNSAT/DialogTV connection for 13,000/= (800 package), if anybody is interested please tell me.
thanks
guys, i just got info that comet cable is gonna show the world cup matches, dunno what feed or from whom though, can anyone clarify ?
Also i think we should all give DTV time to settle down. They should be given credit for all the that they are trying to give their customers inspite of so many obstacles. As with any new business, there are certain technical issues to be dealt with, any one knows this. Its very easy for us to sit here and find fault with them, Let us be a bit more patient and im sure vll get the best possible entertainment in the not too distant future.
@amd
When i am spending 1610 a month... patience is not very easily afforded! I firmly believe that DTV should spend less time following up (and messing up) on passed payments and new ones and concentrate on getting the Quality & Qty of their channel line up on par! If the stuff DTV is giving me is good and i get good customer care... I wouldn't make a fuss... even if there were billing probs once in a while!
No operator has the right to make sooooooooo many mistakes, collect money from loyal customers and still ask for MORE TIME TO CORRECT THE PROBS! ONCE DTV COMMERCIALLY LAUNCHED.... no turning back from that... I expect only the best after that!!!
It was over 23,000 customers last year.
When I bought that I’ve been informed CBN has
Over 23,000 customers .Even they’ve informed they target
Over 1, 00,000 customers before end of 2007.
( Not about 2,50,000)
My A/C No comes after 26,000.
(Not the bill No.)
That means I’ve bought that after 26,000
People have bought this. Now they are talking
About 10,000. What this means ?
We’re very much glad to hear it has increased
To 50%.
If so as DTV team said, I’m happy .
Because if with 10,000 customers can gives these
Facilities like even HBO, with 2,50,000 customers How much
Will be able to …
@priyantha
On the other hand, if DTV are finding so difficult in managing the customer care, billing, co-ordination, tv guide distributions etc., of such a little customer base.... imagine what their service will be like if they had even 50k customers???????
So, i say it again..... first get the house in order... then invite ppl in!!!!
Since they did it the other way around..... be prepared for all the negative rap DTV is getting now and in to the future if things dont improve!!!
So comet finally got permission to show the matches via the DD feed.
Good going. By the way, DD is taking the feed from SET MAX.
