Updates, Updates, Updates...

Looks like the impending entrance of a strong competitor has spurred Dialog TV on to do some good things, presently the entire channel lineup has been turned on its head. The lineup starts with FTA channels namely Rupavahini and moves on from there. We are unable to get a hold of the new updated channel list.

There are reports of some decoders indicating 101 channels and then showing 93 channels & it seems that many channels have been switched to the long awaited MPEG4 standard. Not sure if its MPEG4 DVB S2 or just MPEG4, either way it will free up much needed transponder space. 

Additionally some new channels have already surfaced, namely MTV Sports & the return of MTV India. Sundance Channel Asia, Universal Asia are among those who are on test according to reports.

We are not sure what channels have been given the boot by Dialog TV.

Please do keep us updated on the latest regarding Dialog TV as the days progress. Kindly update us with the latest channel list as soon as possible.

Do yo mean that some decoders will not show the mpeg4 channels? Then what decoders would show all channels? I bought the connection at a promotion so I think it could be the cheapest decoder.
