Testing on channels 10, 11 & 12

According to information being received Dialog TV is testing CH10 with Rupavahini, CH11 with ITN, CH12 with Swarnavahini. We are unable to clarify the reason behind this. Maybe we can expect some new channels on these slots or maybe they are planning to increase bandwidth on other transponders by moving more channels to 4th tp.

Ok lets get crazy here, it just maybe that Dialog is planning to launch Nat Geo Wild, FX, FX Crime which are the Fox channels that were added on Indian DTH service Sun Direct. These are all assumptions and may amount to nothing.

Moving between Nick India & Nick Pakistan

It seems that Dialog is having problems with the Nick feed. Over the past week the feed has been constantly changing from Pakistan to India & vice versa. We are lead to believe that it is a technical problem that is causing all of this.

It also looks like Sun Direct has beaten Dialog TV and introduced the Asian Fox channels such as FX, FOXCRIME, etc. Please keep us updated on the latest regarding Dialog TV as the days progress.

Over Panicking?

Recent comments in this blog suggest that a certain section of DTV subscribers have started panicking over the stability of the company. It is a fact that Dialog Telekom is struggling but we do not believe that DTV is to close down. All companies in sri lanka and the world are not doing so well, so this is not unique to Dialog. We believe that Dialog is not adding anymore channels in order to complete the MPEG4 conversion which is taking a long time due to slow decoder replacements. Still certain SET plan subscribers are yet to receive decorders. In addition we are at the end of the present financial year and Dialog may not be wanting to increase year end losses by increasing expenditure which is already high due to the free decoders issued during the present financial year.

In addition lack of good competition is causing DTV to be lazy since PEO TV & LBN are only providing lame competition. Therefore we expect new channels and MPEG4 conversion to be completed in the new financial year hopefully. DTH companies around the world have struggled for a few years before starting to stabilise and is true of companies in the US, UK & India where pay tv is popular, so how much more difficult will it be in sri lanka where the concept of paying for television is still in its infancy? In other news it seems that Nick has gone back to the Indian Masala feed, we hope the English feed returns soon. Please keep us updated on the latest on DTV as the days progress.
