DIALOG TV SET TOP BOX SOFTWARE UPDATE AVAILABLE

As per reports reaching us a new Software Update is now available for Dialog TV Set Top boxes. We are not sure whether there are any visible improvements to the Set Top box functionality or whether the updates are mainly for internal processes.

In other news there has not been much happening on Dialog TV as in the way of filling up those blank test channels & no progress on adding a quality English movie channel. Sure enough HBO is a good movie channel in it's own right but there are some movies that don't premiere in it since the rights are held by Fox Movies Premium.

Looks like any further channel addition will happen after the RWC which is slated to conclude at the end of next month. Dialog will most likely target the festive season thereafter.

AMC ASIA CHANNEL ADDED ON DIALOG DTH

As of midnight MGM Channel India which is ceasing transmissions has been replaced by AMC Asia which was formerly known as MGM Asia. Even though Dialog called it a rebrand it is actually a replacement.

The channel telecasts older movies like MGM did in addition to some brand new programming from the AMC stable such as "Fear The Walking Dead" & "Into the Badlands", this network is behind the hit TV series "Breaking Bad" & has also acquired Global broadcasting rights for the UK Sci-fi series "Humans".

This channel is no doubt a great channel in comparison to the likes of Star World & Zee Cafe. AMC Asia is operated by AMC Networks Asia Pacific which also operates Sundance Channel Asia.

In other news there are reports that Dialog TV have removed Sony Six from the Pearl Pack & added channels such as Trace TV, CCM, Discovery Science, Outdoor Channel & Travel XP.

Now MGM Channel to go

MGM Channel which was brought in by Dialog TV to replace Star Movies when it pulled out of this region will be discontinuing it's services during this month, probably by the end of the month. This leaves Dialog TV now looking for a replacement to the channel.

MGM which was renamed in most territories as AMC, retained the MGM branding in this region and are calling  it quits. The channel will not be undergoing any rebranding in this region & will cease transmissions. There has been no official statement from MGM regarding this.

Dialog TV which was in a limbo over the replacement of Star Movies, find themselves in deeper trouble. Either Dialog will have to come sort of agreement with Star Movies & reintroduce the channel or work with Fox International Channels to introduce Fox Movies Premium. One stumbling block over the retransmission of Fox Movies Premium initially was the broadcast of UFC for which regional rights were held by Sony Six. Now since UFC has been moved to Fox Sports, we believe that it probably would be easier to secure the channel however with HBO Asia securing second run rights for some of the movies premiered on Fox Movies Premium, there might still be a problem.

Also now Sony Six is acquiring rights for La Liga, FA Cup & Serie A football tournaments & this channel isn't available in this country. The channel will also be used to broadcast the SL vs India Cricket match in Hindi we believe but it also has some prime English content which will be missed. Dialog should secure this channel too.

Trace Urban & Travel XP on Dialog Dth

Dear Friends



With effect from last night Dialog TV have begun testing music channel TRACE URBAN (Ch. 42) & travel channel TRAVEL XP (Ch. 66). Both these channels are HD by default, however Dialog is downgrading them to SD & relaying them. Trace TV which originates from France telecasts Urban Music & Travel XP which is head quartered in India telecast travel related programming mainly focusing on Asia & has many programmes based on Sri Lanka too. In time to come we will likely see the channels being upgraded to HD once they have secured some transponders.

Unlike the past we feel that these channels will be made available to lower level packages & will not be limited to the highest Gold package.

It great to see Dialog TV add some interesting channels as of late after some lacklustre performance over the years.

It seems that the rumor mill hasn't subsided either on the launch of "MTV Europe" on Dialog TV in the near future & it may just come true.

Please keep your eyes peeled since you never know what will show up on those test slots.

Dish TV Lanka First Look

It looks like the day has finally arrived. Dish TV is finally launching in Sri Lanka on May 25th. The Customer Service Hotline is (011) 5 111 222.

Being one Asia's largest DTH service operators, Dish TV Sri Lanka will house the regional uplinking station to reach out to other Asian countries in the subcontinent. Dish TV Lanka can uplink channels not permitted to by Dish TV India, due to Indian regulations.

Besides that Dish TV has uplinked many local FTA channels & are expected to send local operators packing. But will they? The Sri Lankan market is different to India's, Dish TV consists of almost all channels in Indian feeds, even the ones for which we have begun to take Asian feeds for granted.

The deep pockets of Dish TV are certainly capable of adding those channels, but they seem to be more focused by the higher rentals they could charge locals compared to the ones in India.

The service is starting off as a basic service, No HD, No PVR. Recent Screen Shots reveal that the HBO will be HBO India, no news of AXN & some others, Sun TV have not yet granted permission for their channels to be carried on Dish TV Lanka. The Hindi channels will be the Indian feeds as opposed to the Asian feeds presently enjoyed.

Dialog DTH HD dilemma & solution

Recently Dialog TV have been sending SMS to Dialog TV subscribers offering the HD channels at special rates for a limited period of time. This comes hot on the heels of a free preview for HD channels which ended a week or so ago.

It seems that the adoption of the HD package among even those of the Gold package is low. It's a well known fact that those who really want the HD Channels are opting for the Indian DTH services where they offer a higher number of HD channels at almost half the prices offered by Dialog TV for the Gold package which doesn't have HD as standard.

Even though Dialog introduced HD several years ago they haven't been exactly been able to make inroads to the HD market. Most of the HD Channels are the same provided by the Indian operators except in the case of AXN HD & Setanta HD. Dialog doesn't have a dedicated HD movie channel now after the pull out of Star Movies HD. Many have been requesting for Fox Movies Premium but it does not look like that will ever materialize. Star World Premiere was a good addition but regional rights have been affecting the programming, however it's a channel that should be retained.

To solve Dialog's HD dilemma we propose that they add the HD channels to the Gold package FOC, this would prove to be a incentive to attract subscribers to the Gold package, in addition they will be able to better attract those who opt for Indian services. If this situation goes unchecked the Indian services will gain a strong foothold on the HD market in Sri Lanka.

The ball is in Dialog's court now, will they opt for making a short term profit or for benefiting in the long run
