Introducing Al Jazeera English

Dialog TV is presently running Al Jazeera English on CH03. CNN International has been moved to CH01 and the channel that has been moved out is SET.

We believe that Dialog TV is presently testing Al Jazeera English and have not launched it formally. We are not sure whether the channel will be launched officially now or after the activation of the next transponder. There is also the chance that Dialog TV might remove Al Jazeera and then test another one of their upcoming channels in the days to come. This type of testing is usually carried out prior to the launching of new channels by DTH service providers who have still not activated their other transponders. However this is pure speculation and there is equally a good chance of Dialog TV continuing to broadcast Al Jazeera English. We hope that this channel is added to the basic package.

We are of the view that the SET channel will return once the World Cup is over however this is a channel that will not be missed by many. SET channel may replace the SET Max channel or it may have been dropped for good. It is great to note that Dialog TV have finally realized that dropping of English channels upsets the subscribers and the effect is greatly minimized if a Hindi channel is dropped.

There seems to be some problems with the EPG of certain channels that has to be sorted out by Dialog TV soon and we hope that Dialog TV starts work on the May programme guide and takes steps to make sure it reaches the subscribers before the commencement of the month. A delay in the guide similar to this month is totally unacceptable, but this month the guide must have got delayed due to holidays and the heavy load on the postal department however Dialog TV should have foreseen this delay and taken alternative steps.

Please keep us updated on any information regarding Al Jazeera English such as the package that it will be introduced on, when it is to be launched officially and will it be permanent now or will they remove the channel to test any of their other upcoming channels.

@ Admin
Are you positive that it is being used as a test channel. If so, I'm starting a 24 hour watch for new channels. At least to get a sneak peek at them, before they are officially launched.

Also, the channel has been renamed Al Jazeera, so the change may be permanent, not testing. But also they change for the slightest thing.

TV & Radio Sri Lanka said...

Technoguy::

Like we said in the post, we were only speculating that this may be a test channel. This was said because some operators carry out testing such as this.

But if they have renamed the channel to Al Jazeera then it is highly likely that this is a permanent channel and not testing.

However until Dialog TV launches Al Jazeera as a permanent channel anything is possible.

@ Admin
Sorry, my mistake. I should have read the post twice.

Also, a very surprising thing. See this:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STAR_World

Note that someone has said Dialog TV shows Star world on CH51. A prank? I found it when I was just surfing through. I'm going to check the other channels.

Hi Guys!
I'm here after long time

pls check the followinf link

as the Admin said the SET is replaced by "Al Jazeera English".

Hi Jesika!

I edited the article ths morning.
We should all work to keep Wikipedia updated with latest information. It is probably the best source of information for anyone today, and I'm sure many people look there before purchasing any services, goods, etc. So it will be a help for the people.

Does anyone know if you could send the video/audio from RF Out to a house-wide TV system and watch anywhere in the house
I have a centralised TV system at home. All antennas input from one gadget, and output to every room in the house. So I can watch normal TV anywhere if I have a TV or computer.
But is it possible to connect the decoder output to the system, set a UHF channel, tune to it and watch the cable tv from anywhere in the house.

Awaiting your help and comments...

Jughead said...

@technoguy

I dont know much about technical stuff, but i have one aditional connection of DTV to a TV in another room thorough a RF connection. (the decorder can accomodate both RF and AV) so i dont think you should have any problems in that aspect.

However the problem would be when you want to change channels on the cable connection. cos the decoder will be in a different location.

Kasun said...

Will DTV Introduse More Channels like this in the Near Future? what are the channels they are planing to give us. I have the 900 Package. do i have to go for the 1400 Package to get those Channels.

TG's Blog Owner said...

Thanks Jughead. I'll try it out and see. Might work.
At the moment I connect the decoder to a second tv nearby using about 4 AV cables interconnected. I have to keep disconnecting or I'll fall over them at night.

@ Kasun
Lets hope DTV introduces more premium and good quality free-to-air channels. Lets also hope that they will be placed in affordable packages.

Hi Sinhala Guy Srilanka !

I'd like to know about that RF CONVERTER. Pls give us some more details about it. If we use it ,how will we get the signal to the tvs?. Do we need to use small antennas in every tv?

DLR said...

@ tachnoguy & Jasika
Gadget called AV transmiter is available in the market for 750/=. It has AV IN line (But sound in mono only)& small transmittinf antenna. you can connect it to decorder's out put. then you can tune TV to the transmiter's out signal(can adjust to Ch 21- 33). when you switch on this your neighbours also can watch your channels.I've tested for 100m radius.

d.l.r.

Thnaks for ur information

But how the TV receive the signal? By using the normal antenna?
Do we need induvidual antenna for every TV ?

TG's Blog Owner said...

@ Sinhala Guy

Thanks a lot.

@ D.L.R

Thank you too. If that works then I don't need to bother my electrician on making new cabls. He originally made cables with both sides Male port, but luckily I had two old cables left.

Can I get the AV Transmitter from any hardware store, or should I look in a certain place.

@ Jeskia
Yes, you receive from the normal antenna. But if you have a TV system then you can use the same antenna for all TVs.

Otherwise you can fix an extra wire to the the existing antennas and connect the other end to the other TV. Contact a suitable electrician or TV set-up-guys to do it. I know some people called Clearview who set up everything for two TVs in my old house.

I bought from 1st cross street of petta. There are plenty of electronic shops & special place called Bazar (But don't go to Electrical shops). First they will tell the price as 1500 but definitly you can bargain to 750 ( Or less if you r good on that).

Unit's has small Arial anntenna like in small FM radios.
when your normal antenna is connect to the TV it can watch as rupavahini or itn. But if you do not have any antena, then have to connect at least a Arial antenna.

In Maharaga KALUM Electronics also selling these type of gadgets

@ LANKA Info, Jessika, D.L.R and all
Thanks a lot for your help.

I didn't get the AV Transmitter, but I found a sutiable RF cable and fixed the decoder to the TV system. Now I can watch SAT from anywhere in the house, and record the World Cup Finals on my computer (I was originally planning to move it upstairs tomorrow).

Only problem is that the channel is not very clear. I suspect interference from other TV channels. There are so many channels, that the UHF area is mostly filled. Any solutions to this?

Thanks.

I changed the UHF channel to 24, and it is quite clear upstairs on my main tv. But downstairs on the computer, the signal is weak. The signal is getting weaker by the time it comes to the computer.

So I'm trying to get hold of and AVT or RFC.

Thanks again for all insturctions and help.

In wikipedia I saw that new more channels will be added to the lineup.. if so when will it be added.

Nice to have Al Jazeera too. ( Rather than having this shitty SET) Will they also be giving HBO Family and Hits and Tensports? Are they just rumors? or wat?

anyone who knows about this plz comment

hi guys, there is an inverview with MR. Naushad in Sunday's Nation paper.
He says DTV is getting 2 new transponders and they will be launching the new channels soon. No date was given.

Also from the last few days the quality of SET MAX is not as good as it was earlier. DTV should do something to rectify it.

hush said...

test

Unknown said...

I think the new transponder will activate from 3rd of May, Dtv havent update their new channel line up on Lyngsat. Because they have some mess with their channels. their Promotional channel (dialog tv) have been out of service for a month. ITN replaced to Set, VH 1 repalced to ITN, To give a complete service they have to wait until the end of worldcup, then they can use their normal lineup. because their Advertising campaign goes on mentioning Channel 24. After the 29th of april we will have a good news on our decorder.
Wait for it.

hush said...

no wonder old bloggers are out cause the password system has changed and takes quite a bit to get the same activated to new password.

any how to technoguy, its possible to watch 1 channel of dtv on another tv apart from rf out.

take a splitter and route dtv out to splitter and take two output cables from the splitter to 2 tvs. connect tv in to rf in in decoder and choose video settings and set to pal tv system for output and choose a chaneel UHF60 as anything below will cause a interference with normal tv channel creating blacklines or lines to appear on the other TV, as UHF frequency is clogged between channel 21~48 with local stuff.

if you want to watch mutiple channels then best option is to get only a set up box and connect to lnb out on the other setup box using the same system.

hope this helps..

guys yesterdays paper had a article where mr. naushad was talking about a test trail of HDTV. I beleive they are test trialing on inter connection of dicovery europe which is on pas 12 and interconnectivity is possible on IS12 satellite.good move to great a niche over other DTH by offering something different.

AV transmitter/RF coverter wireless or with wire network?

bank_dude said...

Finally I'm back on track again. Thank you very much admin for your guidence.

Interesting topic about AV transmitters & RF converters. I like to add some more details for that.

You can view channels using the above methods but if you want to switch channels you have to go and change the channels. To overcome thatproblem there is a device called IR extenders. By using that you can send IR signal from one location to another. But now this device comes with AV Sender where you can send an AV signal from one location to another by 2.4GHz signal. There are 4 2.4GHz frequencies to operate you can use either one. I'm using that device and I'm not sure both devices I mentioed above are available in SL. I got down it from Thailand. Just seach AV senders, CATV tuners or IR senders and you will be able to know what I mentioned here.

Jughead said...

wow! great news bank dude.

i have a terrible time when switching between channels on the 2nd TV. (running from one room to the other)

could somebody let us know whether AV senders are available in SL. i saw lot of online stores having it(shipping worldwide). but paying online is deadly.

Jughead said...

Correction:

its not the AV sender that i need to know about but the IR extender.

TG's Blog Owner said...

@ Bank_dude
The system sounds interesting. One question: How does the IR Extender get the signal to the decoder.

@ Priyatha De Silva
Thanks for the compliment!

@ Banuka
Great news! Thanks a ton for the information.

I can already imagine trying to decide on which of the 60 channels I should watch...

@ AMD and Hush
Where did you get the article from? Was is the Sunday Leader? If so, I can't find it on the Leader website.

@ Hush
Thanks. I've already done this by connecting RF out to the wall TV port.
And I will try using UHF channel 60. At the moment I am using UHF 23 or something.

Mario said...

@ technoguy

The article is in yesterday's (22nd) Nation newspaper. But its not available in the online edition.

bank_dude said...

@technoguy

It operates like this. The consists of 2 units. Sender and the receiver. Receiver captures the IR signal and convert it to 433MHz frequency to transmit IR signal to the sender. The sender converts the signal back to IR and trasmit to the device.

Mario said...

If i wanna get DTV to another TV, ( watch 2 different channels on 2 tv's do i hav to get separate connection ? If so does DTV need to install a separate dish or will only a decoder do ?

Unknown said...

It is very easy to get a second connection using your Dialog TV.What you have to do is this.
1)Get a separate AV cable and connect that to the AV out jack in your TV.
2)Use the AV cable from the Decoder to the AV in jack of the same TV
3)The AV out cable(connected from the 1st TV) can be connected to the second televison.
4)Select Video mode on both TVs to watch DTV

You can watch Dialog Tv on the second TV without any quality drop using this method.This method can be used with any number of TV sets.

I was wandering how guys at Singer Showroom had DTV on so many TVS at once.The sales guy there only showed me this simple method.

If you use RF connection the picture quality drops.

bank_dude said...

amd,

You can use existing dish but have to purchase another decoder.

Dialog TV takes Sri Lanka by storm

By Marianne David
Based on cutting edge technology, Dialog TV took Sri Lanka by storm with its state-of-the-art satellite digital video broadcasting, DVD quality picture, stereo quality sounds, and its line-up of top channels.
Turning around the trend of television viewing in Sri Lanka, DialogTV, with its tag line of ‘Wake Up To The Next Generation Of Satellite TV,’ boasts a wide range of international content, including CNN, BBC, HBO, Cinemax, AXN, ESPN, Discovery Channel, MTV (Music Television) and Cartoon Network, amongst many others.
Dialog TV is operated by Asset Media, a subsidiary of Dialog Telekom Limited. Heading the Dialog TV team is Dialog Telekom General Manager (Sales and Marketing) Nushad Perera.
In an interview with The Nation, Perera said that Dialog Telekom has now become a quadruple player. The company is the first in South Asia, to enter the quadruple player field – boasting of a mobile operation, a fixed line operation, a broadband operation, and a media operation.
Speaking of the challenges faced by DialogTV, Perera said that challenges included reinstating confidence in customers, after the suspension, re-awakening the whole organization, because it had been in limbo, and taking the product to the hands of the consumer.
Elaborating on the challenge of taking the product to the consumer, Perera said, “Traditionally, viewers don’t pay to watch TV. We are coming in with a game plan, saying ‘here is a television media where you have to pay, to watch TV.’ Then, we have to build massive value, to attract the consumer.”
In order to do this, Dialog TV structured the product into three categories – Super 500 with 16 channels, Great 900 with 25 channels and Value 1400 with 29 channels, plus the local channels.
“We recently got the ICC World Cup, which was the main puller. We spent a lot of money on that. There was no return on investment, because we paid a massive amount, to get the rights. However, we chose to do so as a confidence building mechanism. It was also a way of telling the consumers that we are here permanently,” added Perera.
Dialog TV is now moving into adding more and more channels into the network. “There is space in the satellite. We had two transponders and both of them are full, so, we have now bought two more transponders. Therefore, we can add more channels and improve the quality even further,” explained Perera.
When Dialog TV took over CBN Sat, there were 10,000 subscribers. Dialog TV has managed to increase the number of subscribers to 22,000 within three months. The company is currently adding 4,000 customers a month.
Explaining the rationale behind the ‘buy one, get one free’ spot promotion, Perera said, “That was a loss to us, because we are giving the equipment free. However, we wanted to test certain price points. We found the results overwhelming, which meant that consumers were willing to pay about Rs. 9,000 for the connection.”
Dialog TV has also taken the step of investing in distribution and installation. Distribution is vis-à-vis all Dialog centres, of which, there are around 300 across Sri Lanka.
Dialog TV also formed 50 fully trained and skilled installation crews operated by Dialog TV to carry out installations for customers. A team comprises of two people plus a vehicle. Once a customer’s payment is realised, Dialog TV provides the connection within three days.
Dialog TV has also been successful in getting large enterprises in Sri Lanka, including 95% of Sri Lanka’s star class hotels, connected to DialogTV. This includes John Keells Resorts, Aitken Spence Group, Confifi, Trans Asia, Cinnamon Grand, Hilton, etc.
“We have also connected most of the apartment complexes. We have a dedicated enterprise solution, where we run a single cable and connect all the apartments,” added Perera.
As for signal quality, Perera said, “What we must emphasise is that, with satellite TV, rain degrades the signal quality to a certain extent. When there is heavy rain, signals do not penetrate. This is a worldwide phenomenon beyond the control of Dialog TV. In Sri Lanka, by and large, this is limited to 10 to 20-minute spells.”
Another challenge faced by Dialog TV was to motivate the staff. “We put the cart before the horse, where we showed the staff the potential of the product and we infused some of Dialog GSM’s key players into the organisation. Key people were brought into the organisation from many divisions and we infused the Dialog energy into the defused CBN Sat,” asserted Perera.
As for the challenge of instilling confidence in the people, while the Dialog name itself created a lot of confidence in the product, people were skeptical whether Dialog could carry it through, after the events that led to the closure, said Perera.
Therefore, the Dialog technical team did a complete study of the system and Dialog TV partnered only its very reliable business partners.
“We made it a point to ensure that it was absolutely ethical and honest, in all the dealings we carried out. We were transparent with any organisation. We also obtained all the clearances and catered to all the legal requirements,” Perera emphasised.
So, what’s next from DialogTV? “More channels coming in. You could expect us to bring in the digital experience into television. Right now, people are not accustomed to seeing good quality, high definition TV. We are on a pilot project now, results of which we could announce within four weeks. Then, we can bring in a high definition digital experience into television,” Perera pledges.
Dialog TV also plans to increase the number of channels to about 50, by the end of the year and provide value for money.
“We will continue to provide value for money. That has been Dialog’s framework. It’s in our blood. We can promise that, if we offer a discount for any of our new packages, it will be extended across the board to all existing subscribers,” he concluded.

I'm sorting out a rather complicated system with my electrician. He is doing al wiring work, and we are trying to work out a system without using AV transmitters, etc. But if it comes to the worst, it will have to be the AV Transmitter or RF converter.

Thats a good article by Mr. Naushad. Looks like they do know what they are doing. I wonder what happened to the Lord Anthony.

Can't wait till the 3rd. I hope they meet our expectations, if they do not exceed expectations.

Does anyone know the frequencies of the new transponders? Or is it a secret at the moment.

And guys, where is Kalu? Haven't seen him for over a month, if not longer.

amalka, there should be some small switches in your AV sender and receiver to select the transmitting frequency. Both must be in same frequency. Do the following. Connect your AV sender to decoder. Connect your receiver to TV. Tryout that setup first. Then you will know that the equipment is working. Normally they say 60 meters. That is line of sight. But when the signal transmit through walls and concrete, it drastically dropped.

i was following the discussion you and d.l.r. have been having with Amalka.

i think Amalka is talking about just one unit. there is no mention of sender & receiver.

I'm sure its not the usual AV sender.

isn't that the case Amalka?

jughead,

Maybe Amalka is taliking about an AV sender that transmit AV signal either VHF or UHF band isn't it?
