The sluggardness of Dialog TV

With lack of transponder space being a definite issue on Dialog TV, it seems that they are not managing their existing transponder space effectively. With many requests being made for "Setanta" & with negotiations failing under mysterious circumstances it seems that no effort is being made by DTV to add a new channel, instead of wasting transponder space with the "DTV-Test" slot.

Some are wondering whether Dialog's negotiations with "Setanta" really failed or were they forced to cancel the negotiations due to "CSN" getting FTA broadcast rights for certain rugby matches on "Setanta". If DTV is either being prevented from getting "Setanta" on it's platform or has failed miserably in securing a broadcast contract with the broadcaster, then it should move on and add a quality channel from the many that are already available.

The other issue is that "Warner TV" is becoming a bad choice as a replacement for "Zee Cafe". With Zee Cafe showing more current content on par with US television & Warner TV running reruns of older content, it can be clearly stated that the replacement was a bad decision. A more wiser decision would have to use "AXN Beyond" as a replacement for "Zee Cafe".

Please keep us updated on the latest on DTV as the days progress.
