So whats next now - sneek peeks and suggestions

Well after a few months of work and some delays Dialog TV have finally completed introducing the new channels. During the last few months we have criticized them when they do not get things right and have congratulated them when they got things right. It has to be said that this is the first large expansion that was carried out by this company ever since they commenced operations and just a few months after they recommenced operations following the controversial time period last year.

We would like to say that the Dialog TV team have done a good job in adding channels that were looked forward to by their existing and future subscribers. At present all the channels originally planned for have been introduced and information suggests that one more is one the way. This channel would be a local one operated by Dialog (probably called Neth TV) but we are unable to find any further information. about this. In addition it seems that Dialog TV are now planning for the launch of their fourth transponder and it seems that they are negotiating with some Tamil language channels as well as some of the Fox channels available in this region.

All of this is good but Dialog has to now got to concentrate on other aspects of their operation too such as the following.

1) The fourth transponder should not have too many new channels rather they should make use of this to spread out the channels further in order to further improve the channel quality.
2) A website for Dialog TV that can be accessed using a mobile phone and programme guides should be viewable using the mobile phone too and a better designed website with programming information too for regular internet access with on line payment features, channel blocking features,etc.
3) SMS programme alerts.
4) Add the other local radio stations and television channels.
5) Reduce the price of the secondary decoder and offer a special package for a secondary connection in the same location.
6) A decoder specially for Hi Fi systems at a reasonable price so that people can keep it close to their hi fi systems and do not have to use the decoder connected to the television in order to listen to the radio stations on Dialog TV.
7) Introduce DTS sound to channels that have this feature available.
8) An Electronic Programme Guide that loads faster and allows to view the schedule of another channels without changing channels.
9) Innovative marketing plan that will attract customers and they could also use their existing subscribers also to market connections (as suggested in one of our previous posts).
10) Introduce a DVR that facilitates the recording of one channel while watching another and make it available to their subscribers on an installment basis. This could be done by tying up with an importer of electronic products into the country.
11) Movie on Demand and Pay Per View( for subscribers who want to select a particular channel that belongs to some other package).
12) Update the website regularly.
13) The EPG should be made very accurate and should contain no errors.

These are some of the suggestions that we have added and we believe that our fellow bloggers will further add to this by making their suggestions too.

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