Time for more action Dialog TV

Now that the PVR prices have been reduced it is time for Dialog TV to move ahead with some new channel additions which are way overdue. This time though not by removing existing channels but by adding a new transponder or by moving to MPEG4 to make room for the new channels. Although we don't mind if local FTA channels such as CSN which have island wide coverage are taken off, maybe in our fantasies.

This doesn't mean adding local FTA channels like Sirasa, Channel One MTV, Shakthi TV or any other rather we are referring to international channels. With "History Channel" reentering this region & Ten Action being a popular request among subscribers & with Dialog TV lagging behind in introducing channels such as Sci Fi, AXN Beyond, Disney Channels, etc its time for Dialog to play catch up.

In addition Dialog should make more channels available on their PVR since the list of channels on the PVR (even though a few notable channels are present) is just a small percentage of their total list. We are also unable to understand why non of the local FTA channels with the exception of TNL TV are not available on the PVR list. Local FTA channel content can be recorded by anyone with an old VCR & this PVR recording system is more secure, so why they haven't given permission is a mystery.

It's time to allow subscribers to activate or schedule recording by online requests or by sending a SMS. Additionally an online portal is a must similar to MyDialog or integrated into MyDialog to manage channel subscriptions & to enable or disable channels remotely by parents who want to control what their children watch when they are alone at home. We hope Dialog TV will take steps to implement these in the very near future and expand channel offerings on their platform.

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

This is for the DTV management,

We are here talking multi-million problems and if you guys reading this you might receive valuable customer feedback for certain events and additions.

This however is not present for your DGSM and DBB, So its really upto you to decide and act on this information which are a good source or actually a free source of the vision of your subscribers.

We accept that not all dtv subscribers are coming here to express all they have and all they want. But its a genius assessment that the points raised are more or less relevant to all subscribers throughout the island.

As such, no matter how deep or soft we spoken here, We assume that you guys note these developments and provide them at your best possible. To being fair there are two kind of persons who are greed to request all and fair guys who count all and measure with fair level to all ends.

Ok to the point,We are missing one important, yet a must addition from dialog. This is actually not a big burden to you to implement it,

Please provide a web portal integrated to mydialog, to enable/disable channels and with all other you-call-it facilities to use without calling you customer care guys. in such allow users to lodge their requests through online and you can reply it back within certain time frame. Its a traffic remover to your support teams.

After being so much time in the market, I'm yet unable to verify why you guys not implementing this online version. Its a win-win situation to all ends and yet not a big budgetary thing. isn't it?

@ Max
Once again the "I don't watch it so it must be useless for everyone" mentality. Stop being so selfish.

And please explain your need for Sirasa TV. Why would Dialog TV lose customers because they don't have the MBC channels? DTV has lasted so long without those channels, and they are available already for free over terrestrial anyway.

Please stop posting retarded comments and ruining the forums. Your message will be better read if it were printed just once with no repeats.

@ Lankan Blogger
I agree with u. We dont want to see Local channels. we want to see international channels like Ten Action, AXN Beyond,Sony Entertainment Asia, FX, ESPNNEWS,Fox Movies,BBC Entertainment, Ceebies, Fashion Tv asia, Zee Cafe,TV5 Monde Asia,E! Asia & Pacific, BBC Lifestyle. thats why we pay lot of money for Dialog tv.

If dialog add MBC Channels first they have to add international Channels. and also now time to change Dialog tv and think HD and get it soon.
