According to reports coming in it seems that Kalaignar TV is being tested. At present the channel is said to be available on CH3 of TP4 but other information suggests that it may replace "TBO" temporarily. Kalaignar TV is a Tamil Language TV channel and with few more tamil channels slated to come on air, it seems that Dialog is now gearing up to tap a market that they have not tapped successfully so far.
With no other new channel introduced it seems that viewers will have to depend on Rupavahini/Channel Eye to watch Beijing 2008 Games that are beginning today.
Please keep us updated on the latest on Dialog TV as the days progress.

Dialog Tv not adding new channels. They are doing only replacement.If they are not improve their Channel line up most custermers will going Dish tv or TaTa Sky Or IPTV.
I think only three TP enough to get good market in sri lanka. Because in current channel list there are lot of useless channels. specially hindi channels. This causes increasing cost of running dialog tv and decreasing customers. I think this is the time Dialog Tv to rank the current channels by taking opinion from their customers and replacing low rank channels with good new channels.
BIG TV will start its DTH operation on 15th Aug 2008 with over 250 channels.
Who is the Sri Lankan agent for BIG TV
Dialog have to get DD sports, Then We can See the Olympics.DD sports is Low cost Channel in India. Why they didn't get it?
Kalaignar TV now on Dialog TV
dialog's "The future today" should be changed
"The future 2012 London olympics"
At the moment (21.45 Sri Lankan time) Dialog TV is testing NDTV 24x7 (on CH 3) & Kalaignar TV (on CH1)

I think Dialog Should Replace TBO Channel.Why they cant add Sun tv????????????????????????
@ star, How do you know that BIG TV starting from 15th Aug. 2008.(but I don't think)
I don't think there are any legal dealers in Sri Lanka. B'cose still they did't publish their dealers in India even.Though I lose Rs: 12500 I am waiting for BIG TV to say bye to DTV.
I think Dialog have to Replace HBO HITS,HBO FAMILY,CENE MAX and TBO,Star Vijay,HBO Signature,Nickelodeon, and ADD AXN Beyond,Sony Pix,Sun Tv,Sun Music,Channel V,Sky News,Fox Crime and DD sports.
rupavahini olympic coverage sucks.
disgusted about the service of dtv.
more than 4 billion viewers watched the olympic ceremony and games but we are stuck with glimpse of events without any proper coordination on local channel.
makes me sick when i think that i pay dialog when they can't even bring the worlds largest sporting event in their lineup. disgusting
@rukmal and other about the questionaire
friendly suggestion,
dont waste your time filling qestionaire for dialog. they are just trying to keep us interested, and convince that they care about customers opinions because their afraid that they will loose their customer base.
this is a well known method used by many firms
@ ILHAM - The Boss
It is very good tamil channel list. If they add JAYA MAX & WIN TV then each & every tamil person will go for DTV.
Hope, they add those channels soon.

Rcom to launch DTH services from Aug 15
Cable and DTH viewers are set to get a wider choice, with Anil Ambani Group firm Reliance Communications expected to start nationwide commercial operations of its DTH service from August 15.
'Big Digital TV DTH', a subsidiary of Rcom, is betting big on the huge potential of home entertainment in the Indian households.
It is estimated that India has over 124 million TV households, with roughly 80 million using the conventional cable delivery platform.
DTH operators in the country, Tata Sky, DishTV and Sun are estimated to have a user base of around 7-8 million.
Big Digital TV DTH would announce its tariff plans in the next few days before the launch of services, sources close to the development said.
Sources, however, said Big Digital TV DTH would unleash an aggressive launch plan with an aim to become the largest DTH operator in the country in the first year of operation.
The company is believed to have placed order for 5 million Set Top Boxes with Korean and Taiwanese vendors to meet its requirements in the first year, they said, adding Big Digital TV is targetting to capture a substantial share of the DTH market that is projected to cross 25-million user base in the next three years.
The company has already completed trial runs across 2,400 towns and the service is currently available for customers of other Reliance ADAG group companies for Rs 1,000.

Is there a Big TV agent available in Sri Lanka?
Today, I contacted Satlanka guys, They ask me Rs. 35,000 for Big TV installation and Rs. 1,500 monthly rental.
I think this is worth than DTV in term of contents.

Hi Guys
Reliance BIG TV Information.
Reliance BIG TV Available in Sri Lanka.
Reliance BIG TV Agent – Sat Lanka (pvt) Ltd
BIG TV Networks, A Direct to Home (DTH) arm of the Reliance Telecom, has announced on Friday that it will start its BIG TV DTH operation on 15th Aug 2008 with over 250 TV channels.
BIG TV will launch Special Packages.

BIG TV also provides in addition to regular audio/video outputs, digital optical audio outputs for crystal clear audio quality and component video output to get the best picture quality for plasma, LCD and other high-end televisions.
What is the diffenence between PLASMA TV & LCD TV?
Which one is better?
SONY brand will you get the PLASMA TV?
@star
plasma
1. better viewing angles
2. cheaper
lcd
1. higher resolution
2. light weight
3. durable than plasma.(says that plasma will loose brightness over time)
FYI !
To Anybody who is planing buy Sony LCDs!
Pls Dont go for Sony LCD! Its a complete mess. I bought 32 inch S Grade LCD last week from Siedles! just to fed up myself watching TV.
Clarity is very very poor. i had a viewing distance of abt 12 feet but still picture are very blurred.
i had a normal CRT TV up to this one Its a complete headache now ! what to do!
WHY DO WE SPEND LAKS OF MONEY OVER LCD WHEN ALL WE NEED FROM A TV IS A CLEAR PICTURE !!!.
This a complete fraud ! IS THERE ANY LEGAL INSTITUTION IN SRI LANKA WHERE I CAN MAKE A COMPLAIN REGARDING THIS?
DD Sports is Free-to-Air (FTA)
You can buy the full system (ku band receiver+LNB+dish) for rs. 8500 from petteh !
@ MW,
If ur using a LCD TV, u have to do some adjustment in order to get the DVD quality Picture. (Only for Cable/DTH).
If u doesn’t know the setting, u can ask the DTH provider to send the Team to ur place.
If DTV wants to get more subscribers they should get rid of this Indian feed and get an Asian feed which the programmers are on English. Otherwise getting new subscribers will be difficult, they just passed the 100000 mark with the greatest difficulty last June. cause if some new operator offers me English language channels unlike the crap DTV offers I'll get it tomorrow
Whats meaning of OTA Download in dtv menu? Can anyone tell me about it.
There will be a new pay Tv company in future.....!
SLT IPTV Facing a Major
Technical Problem.
hey guys, does anyone know a website where we can watch the olympics live??
Yesterday while i was watching DTV suddenly the screen went black and showed 'Begin force to download', then the screen went black and some freaky numbers stated going on the Decoder. After a few minutes all came back to normal.
What was that? does any one know?
Guys,
Yesterday around 9PM there was a System upgrade on the DTV Platform.
.
As to the information that i have, The IRD upgrade began on 8.5x PM.
.
This was sorted after some time and all the helpdesk lines are dead on this moment.
.
After this SW upgrade, now we receive further window on the I (Info) button in the Remote control as to the level of experience and the Programe group is now listed to 16 Channels per page in the new Dialog Tv Decorders (Not MP4).
.
IRD upgrade is made available on this period and last software upgrade is displayed as 08/11/08 in my decoder.
.
if you have further information on this regard, please post on blog.
.
however i still blame to DTV since they even do not maintain their messaging scheme and customers may have to be noted beforehand.
.
Thanks.
Mr. Rajeev
can watch the olympics live mulltychoice package
I didn't turn on DTV last night at 9.In the morning when it turned on, RED light was on. After the call for the CC , all the wires unplug from the decoder to there advice and turned on for an hour without signals.
Then I've received a call from CC, with that call DTV's been back.
They said when they doing the IRD Upgrade , my decoder was turned off, then all the customers who have this problem , must call the Customer Care to do it manually.
??????????????????
Why DTV still can't send a Electronic mail to the inbox of DTV Decoder as CBN used to. If so we never want to waste our time with calling DTV C.C.
******************************
The only Satellite TV , in the world without a special channel like DDTV , to the Olympic. Others ask us how you watch Olympic, say via SLRC's channels.
They are laughing at us , because of you.
It's better to be late THAN NEVER.
Still DTV can line up a channel like DDSports, to the Olympic. Then we can somewhat proud of having DTV.

Sri Lanka Dialog June quarter profits down 78%
Aug 13, 2008 (LBO) - Profits at Sri Lanka's Dialog Telekom group, a unit of Telekom Malaysia, fell 78 percent in the June 2008 quarter to 537 million rupees, according to interim accounts filed with Colombo Stock Exchange.
Group revenues in the June quarter grew 13 percent to 9.2 billion rupees, with the core mobile unit seeing 4.8 percent revenue growth to 8.3 billion rupees amid price cuts.
Dialog said customer spending was hit by inflation and its own costs rose 28 percent in the past year.
Energy costs grew 46 percent, network cost rose 49 percent and depreciation 62 percent while the company continued to invest in infrastructure.
Its customers had grown 31 percent to 4.8 million in the past year. Pre-paid customers increased 34 percent to 4.2 million, while post paid customers grew 14 percent to 590,000.
Dialog Broadband Networks (DBN) had acquired 112,000 fixed subscribers while its new WiMax service had brought in 1,500 customers.
The unit had earned revenues of 1.1 billion rupees in the six months to June (645 million rupees in the June quarter) which was a 181 percent gain over the same period last year. But the unit had lost 291 million rupees.
"DBN’s recently commercialised fixed telephony and broadband services have received strong consumer acceptance emphasising the growing potential to eclipse capacity building costs through aggressive revenue growth," the company said in a statement.
Meanwhile Dialog TV had acquired 112,000 subscribers and earned revenues of 787 million rupees for the first six months (451 million rupees for the June quarter) up 176 percent over the first half of last year.
The unit had lost 196.4 million for the six months, down from 349 million rupees for the same period last year.
Subscribers had grown 276 percent over the past year and 32 percent against the previous quarter.
Dialog says an under-penetrated pay TV market gives room for further expansion.

VH1 as turned into VH1 India Rules and only indian music.
What's wrong with Dialog?
We gotta put a STOP to this indian ones.
damn...wtf, if this is true then i'm gonna give up dialog. No international music channel at all. this sucks big time.
I got a letter from DTV today, asking me to give a call (before 25th Aug)to arrange a date & time for the FREE installation of the MPEG4 set top box.
I only got one letter for my premium account and not for the 100/= second account. It says HBO, HBO Signature, HBO Hits, HBO Family & Star Movies cannot be viewed without the new box from sep 1st.
So, may be the accounts without these channels are not been given new STBs (at least for present).
It further says they will be introducing some new channels (Baby TV, Channel news Asia and E! will commence from mid september.
did anyone do the IRD upgrade recently? theres nothing new about it, except for a new startup screen and a PASSWORD CHANGE!!!
I cannot scan channels anymore. anyone knows what the password is?
Can any1 tell me what's the meaning of "OTA Download" in dtv menu?
Please continue commenting under new post titled "Dialog TV to go MPEG4 from September".
