March 2008 will be the last month in which CiTi HiTz will be available for all Dialog TV subscribers free of charge. From April onwards the channel will cost an additional Rs 50/= for all packages. Now from tomorrow "Channel C" is expected to go on air. How much will this be priced at? We can expect the channel to available free of charge for a couple of months hopefully.
Pay television is a developing industry in Sri Lanka and these channels should be used to lure customers and charging additional for these channels will only drive away prospective customers. CiTi HiTz is priced unrealistically, not many people will pay extra for that channel. This channel should be integrated into the existing packages. The same applies for "Channel C" since charging extra will not work.
In other news rumors indicate that certain new channels will be available by hopefully tomorrow 1st March.
Not much has emerged from the news regarding HDTV but whether or not Dialog TV issues a HDTV compatible MPEG4 decoder, the subscriber has to purchase a HDTV enabled television to really enjoy HDTV television otherwise it will not be HD.
Please keep us updated on the latest regarding Dialog TV as the days progress.
