Happy New Year 2009 & Channel Replacement

According to information being received it seems that TBO has been taken off air and will be replaced by "Zee Music" from tomorrow onwards just over a year after "TBO" was introduced on Dialog TV.

The replacement may be due to the lack of interest in the channel by the poorly catered to Tamil subscribers on Dialog TV. However instead of replacing "TBO" with another Tamil channel, Dialog chooses to replace it with a Hindi music channel called "Zee Music". The logic or the lack of logic behind this cannot be explained but we expect a silly excuse soon enough.

Well please keep us updated on the latest on Dialog TV as the days progress. We take this opportunity to wish the Management & Staff of Dialog TV, Dialog TV Subscribers Unite, Our fellow Bloggers

"A Very Happy and Prosperous 2009.
May the New Year be a Blessed one for all of you"

We thank all of you for your contributions and also thank Dialog TV for the wonderful support that was extended towards us.

A Very Merry & Blessed Christmas plus seasonal gifts

Regardless of whether it is a seasonal gift (as Dialog would like to call it) or marketing gimmick (which is what some subscribers call it) from Dialog TV we believe that it is a great move by Dialog TV to make all channels on their platform available to all subscribers. This bonus offer will be available to all packages until 2nd January 2009. All subscribers who have been active as of Dec 15th 2008 are eligible for this offer according to communication from Dialog TV.

In addition it seems that the MPEG4 conversion of movie channels which was scheduled to be completed a few months back has not been carried out as yet. We believe that this conversion will be carried out next year but it should be carried out as soon as possible since many subscribers are complaining of severe pixelation specially on HBO channels.

We take this opportunity to wish all our fellow bloggers, the management and staff of Dialog Television a

"Very Merry and Blessed Christmas"

Congratulation Dr. Hans

Our deepest congratulations goes out to the CEO of Dialog Telekom and COO of Telekom Malaysia Dr. Hans Wijayasuriya for being nominated as LMD's "Sri Lankan of the Year".

No matter what anyone would say we believe Dr. Hans deserves this award and even though this post has been made late due to the some other work that we were involved in, it is better late than never so "Congratulations Sir".

We wish you all the best in your future endeavors at Dialog Telekom, Telekom Malaysia and we hope that you will continue your services in this country.

Dr. Hans has been greatly intrumental in bringing Dialog to great heights from just being a mobile communications operator and expanding to various other businesses such as pay television, fixed line and broadband operations. Despite all the risks involved in pay television and the industry being in its infancy and all business analysts predicting that pay television is a difficult business in Sri Lanka and may never work Dr. Hans has taken up the challenge of taking over a sealed pay television operation and running its operations.

We believe that Dialog TV would become the biggest revenue earner for Dialog Telekom provided that the company improves its customer relationship and becomes an innovator in the field of pay television.
