Dialog TV are planning to launch a local channel called "Citi Hitz" on their platform. According to unconfirmed sources this channel will be showcasing Sri Lankan television drama's and movies.
Information about this channel is sketchy but we hope that more information will arrive in due course. The channel is supposed to commence testing on October 2nd 2007 and launch on October 10th 2007. According to unconfirmed sources it seems that due to space constraints on the transponders this channel will replace Animax. However Animax is set to return back on Dialog TV once the fourth transponder is activated. If this is correct then we believe that this will be a very bad move by Dialog TV since this will reduce the number of English language channels by one. They should remove an existing Hindi channel and replace it with "Citi Hitz" and then the Hindi channel can be reintroduced once the fourth transponder is ready. We hope that Dialog TV will not make any attempts to remove Animax. We said previously that Dialog TV could replace Animax temporarily only if they are contemplating introducing another English Language channel such as Disney, ect under the condition that it is returned when the fourth transponder is ready. If "Citi Hitz" replaces Animax then we believe that the subscribers should call and ask Dialog to reintroduce Animax by removing some run of the mill Hindi channel.
It seems that there has been some severe pixelation on Nat Geo last night and we hope that this does not happen again. Some subscribers are complaining of loss of commentary on Ten Sports ever since it returned after it was taken off air due to some technical issue. We hope that the technical team sorts this matter out immediately. The EPG on Animal Planet needs to be corrected.
Please keep us updated on the latest on Dialog TV as the days progress.
