Maintenance Day 1 : Completed

From midnight to 6am last night Dialog TV was off air for maintenance which has resulted in the first day of maintenance being completed. We are not sure whether there are any visible changes to the Dialog TV transmission. There may or may not be since we are unable to clarify the nature of the maintenance being carried. Some unconfirmed information suggests that the upgrade is to start HDTV & MPEG4 testing which is supposed to commence commercially in a couple of months. However we are unable to confirm this.

We also hoped that the problems such as the pixelation problem that plagued the HBO channels would be sorted. We hope that if not today it will sorted out during the second day of maintenance scheduled for midnight on the 14th till 5am on the 15th.

We hope any of our bloggers who have access to their Dialog TV connections will be able to scan their system and confirm whether there are any visible changes to the transmissions or is everything the same, just as it was before.

We also noticed that the Nat Geo programme guide is wrong and should be sorted out soon. There are some frequent interruptions on Australia Network which should be sorted out soon.

Please keep us updated on the latest on Dialog TV as the days progress.

AXN Volume is low compared to other channels

If you are not satisfy with any of Dialog services you can email them on service@dialog.lk I think this goes to a high position at Dialog.

They will contact you. We should be served well in getting their services. We pay thie salary. So they should respect us. I think that GSM service is far more better than DTV. DTV has to improve that.

They should not take in any of the school leavers for customer service as they are having the hot blood not the Service!!!
