Channel Eye Blackout during IPL Telecast

Thursday, April 23, 2009

From: "######" <######@dialog.lk>

To: "tvradiosrilanka@yahoo.com"

Dear Admin,

Channel Eye Blackout during IPL Telecast

The reason for the blackout during IPL match is because we do not have rights to show the IPL via Rupavahini/Eye. (Terrestrial – rebroadcasting via DTH)

Pls communicate this to the fellow bloggers.

Regards

The above is an email we received from Dialog TV regarding the blackout of Channel Eye during the IPL. We understand from unconfirmed sources that there is a strict restriction by SET Max on teresstrial rebroadcasting of IPL, to make sure that the IPL matches are not uplinked by the FTA broadcasters which will result in a loss of revenue to the Satellite channels.

IPL on Dialog TV over SET Max

Contrary to rumors being circulated we would like to confirm that IPL Season 2 will be telecast over SET Max on Dialog TV. Information that Dialog TV is still negotiating with SET Max cannot be true as the channel is already available on the platform.

In addition pay television operators only rebroadcast channels therefore they do not have to pay for content, so rumors of Dialog TV requiring permission and requiring to pay more to telecast IPL cannot be true. Dialog TV has made a bad move by removing the Set Plans containing SET Max forcing subscribers from lower packages to upgrade to higher packages to watch IPL, we hope the set plans are reintroduced soon.

Suba Aluth Awruddak Wewa and Heritage Television

We like to take this opportunity to wish the Management & Staff of Dialog TV, the members of Dialog TV Subscribers Unite and our fellow bloggers "Suba Aluth Awruddak". We hope that you will continue to be with us as you have been with us giving us the breaking news many times even before we get them. A big Thank You goes out to all of you.

In other news Dialog TV is carrying out test transmissions of local channel "Heritage Television" on Channel Number 63. At the moment the channel is said to be free for all packages and since it on test mode it has to be activated by giving a call to customer care. There are some customer care agents who are clueless of this channel so the best thing is to refer to the channel number and ask for activation.

It is good that Dialog TV is looking at adding channels focusing on Sri Lanka but we feel that Dialog TV should not neglect on adding international channels when they are launched. Channels like Disney, AXN Beyond, BBC Entertainment, WB, SET Pix, Trace TV, STC, ect are long overdue on Dialog TV. So hopefully these will also arrive soon on the Dialog TV platform.
