A local Cargills advertisement has been spotted on Dialog TV on the Discovery Channel at 1:30pm on September 1st 2009. This is the first local advertisement on Dialog TV on one of their regular channels.
As mentioned in previous posts these advertisements should not cause displeasure to the viewer. It is alright for Dialog TV to carry out local advertising for channels in place of some of those annoying Hindi ones but we reiterate that it should be carried out properly.
Once Dialog TV has a continuous flow of revenue from these advertisements it is time for them to consider reducing rentals.
We hope that Dialog TV will take steps to allocate the Channel 7 blank slot for either AXN Beyond or SET Asia English. Rival operator LBN has already added these channels and we feel that these two channels are far better than Fox Crime and Fox FX in terms of programming. Now what is done has been done, Dialog must use the Channel 7 slot for AXN Beyond then speed up the MPEG4 conversion and add SET Asia English. We have been calling for the addition of these channels for a long time and we hope that we will not have to continue like that for too long. Dialog TV can delay the addition of CCTV which is expected to be inserted in the Channel 7 slot since AXN Beyond will make better business sense than CCTV. Dialog can also remove an Hindi Channel such as "Zing" or English channel "NDTV Good Times" and add SET Asia English temporarily until they get the MPEG4 conversion sorted out.
Please keep us updated on the latest on Dialog TV as the days progress.

I wonder why DTV is still not concluding to the remaining channel.
.
it was used to depict CCTV in the earlier channel shuffle and yet is blank slot.
.
They are using this slot for up linking duplicate channel of HBO Signature till date.
.
As for Local ads: as we were concluded in our previous posts, User experience should not be affected by inserting such.
.
They can embed anything they like on any ads made by Indian source. However original programme should not be allowed to affected by any means.
.
If this golden rule will be followed than they can glued to both customers as well as revenue.
.
Hope they are on the right track.
Discovery Networks has received government clearance to launch three channels in India. These include Discovery Science, Discovery Turbo and Discovery HD.

Sachet Pack setplan minimum period for the activation is 1 month (30 days)
and only for Rs 500/= or below packages
wtf.... y do dtv treat customers differently. as to activate single channels only to 500 or below package holders....
DTV CC replied negatively (some time back) to my query over activating sachet plans in other packages.
But they claim that they are piloting it with the 500 and blow pkgs and they may introduce it to the other pkgs in the future.
To be pragmatic, dont expect them allowing the activation of Tensports for 99/- for Big Deal Pkgs or 99/- per channel of the Movies suite.
There seems to be a definite change in business. They reply to all emails in return.
V Have to wait & C patiently.
Ten Sports now has a live webcast of all the matches they broadcast.

hi

The matches are interrupted by local ads. Very annoying!!!
Siyatha TV on UHF 32
Vettri TV on UHF 46
Test transmission was visible yesterday (12th Sep) from 7pm till 10 pm.
Good picture quality !!!
MPEG 4 decorder doesnt support sorting of channels according to our interest. older decorders support this. hope dialog will change its software in the future.
Siyatha TV test transmission seen on Channel 7 last night and this morning with color bars. Seems like it will replace the empty slot.
Vettri TV - Tamil Box Office Channel Launches today... more details : www.cityhitsonline.com
Please continue commenting under the latest post titled "Siyatha TV now on Dialog TV".
