EWTN replaces Learn TV upto 26th, Warner TV to replace Zee Cafe
EWTN the Roman Catholic channel has replaced Learn TV temporarily until December 26th. Last year Dialog TV replaced the God TV channel which is watched by many Christians in Sri Lanka with EWTN on Christmas day. Dialog TV were inundated with complains causing them to return God TV within a couple of hours after it was removed. This year EWTN is running as a separate channel therefore allowing the Christian population to view God TV without any interruption & the Catholic population to view EWTN during the festive season.
In addition Zee Cafe will be replaced by Warner TV within a couple of days. This Warner TV we believe will be the South East Asia feed. We believe that the channel carries higher quality programming compared to Zee Cafe.

MGM Channel Asia ousts TruTV & replaces Zee Studio
After initially testing out TruTV in place of Zee Studio and causing an uproar among lower package subscribers because they lost out on a movie channel, Dialog TV took a surprising move by adding MGM Channel Asia in place of TruTV. We believe that MGM is a commercial free channel unlike Zee Studio. The quality of the channel we believe will be higher than Zee Studio and we believe that it is the Singapore feed that is available on Dialog TV although we cannot be certain as yet .

Zee Studio gone, TruTV in
According to reports reaching us, Zee Studio will be taken off air and a channel called TruTV will be introduced on testing mode from today. It seems that Dialog is taking several Zee channels off air, first went Zee Trendz and now goes Zee Studio. Hopefully Zee Cafe stays and is not replaced. There are a couple of Hindi Zee Channels that could have been replaced in place of TruTV.
We are not sure if many people will miss Zee Studio too much cos it a channel that repeats many of the older films. The positive thing is that an Indian channel goes and in comes a channel with a Singapore feed which we believe is commercial free.
However the trend undertaken by Dialog TV is disturbing since they seem to targeting English channels for replacement, so it makes us wonder what the next English channel to go would be. There are channels such as CCTV News, NDTV GoodTimes that could have been targeted, if they really wanted to take out an english channel.
Well then Dialog could introduce channels such as AXN Beyond, SET English Asia or Star Family Movies at the expense of some least watched Hindi or English channels that are suggested above.
Talking about TruTV it is a channel that is along the lines of Zone Reality that was available on Dialog TV before it stopped broadcasts. TruTV was formerly known as Court TV in the US before it rebranded to TruTV.
It is owned is Time Warner which also operates Boomerang Southeast Asia and Cartoon Network Southeast Asia both of which are available on Dialog TV.

Discovery Science & Turbo now free for Gold Package
Reversing on its decision to force even premiere God package subscribers to pay for Discovery Science & Turbo channels, Dialog TV have decided to add the channels free to them with immediate effect. It looks like Dialog failed to lure its Gold package subscribers to pay extra for channels after all why should they since they are the premiere package.
However we still hold firmly to the view that Rs 199/= per channel is way overpriced for subscribers of the lower packages and Dialog should review their pricing.
This move comes hot on the heels of addition Ten Cricket FOC for Gold Package and Eurosports FOC for the Diamong, Emerald & Gold packages.
Dialog seems to have made channel replacement as part of their organizational policy and it is time to replace that policy with the policy of adding channels. We hope either the MPEG4 conversion which was shelved is reintroduced or a new transponder is added for more channels.
