CBNSat 6th Court Hearing today

CBNSat will be facing it's 6th Court hearing today. As per newspaper reports the directors of CBNSat, LBN & SATNet will have to appear before courts today.

Everything will depend on the Ministry of Media, if they agree to issue the license then the problems will stop here. I do not see a reason why they should not issue a license and we hope the Media Minister would have taken the decision taking into account the plight of the thousands of subscribers and employees of CBNSat. If there is a delay on the part of Media Ministry due to their incompetence then the judge should rule in CBNSat's favour.

An article that appeared in todays Daily Mirror regarding yesterdays Court Case is given below. It is very sad to note that none of the private TV stations including those of Maharaja's and EAP's do not come forward to highlight the situation. This is obviously because their viewship has dropped over the past few months and if CBNSat and the cable tv channels are closed down it will be very advantageous for them.

Action TV, etc is nonsense if they do not stand up for the rights of any broadcaster in this country and they should be ashamed of themselves because they are also not immune.

SHAME ON YOU PRIVATE TV STATIONS IN SRI LANKA

In addition there are rumours going around that some CBNSat customers are planning to be at the courts for todays hearing. Well if this is true then maybe those people concerned can give the time and address of the location where they are planning to meet. But remember no violence.

Dont worry we will update you as and when things are happen and this time it should finish off and the only problem is the boot licking and corrupted higher ups in the government who are liking the cock of this Hulugalle guy will say at courts,The media guy is sure to tell a story of a pree school student like,The application is not clear or the format is wrong or whatever,The magistrate should not allow any of these and the lawyers of CBN who are highly respected in the bar should be ready for this childs talk and be tough on this spineless arsholes and Hulugalle who also should be there.

Hope the LBN case could also be solved and SHITnet is banned and it wont be a problem as they have only around 500 customers and they can obtain CBN too or whatever they prefer.

Good luck for the team of CBNsat and hope youll be on air very soon.

Thats right guys, we should be carefull of these politicaly influenced officials and they can say anything to survive,That is why the country is like this and it wont change by asking this corrupted government officials to come to work at 8 or 8.30,They dont have a back bone to do whats right,they are just puppets handled by coruppted politicians and their henchmen,in this instance SHITnet.

I hope the CBNsat team is upto this and you should send all this mugs and goons to hell.

Will the law do it?

What will happen if the Nutty Professor from the Media Ministry says that a license cannot be granted, or is it a case where the license should be granted. Cause if they do not grant the license to CBNSat then LBN also cannot have a license right.

What? are they thinking we are all fools?
we waited enough! now they come with a real play group story of new application? when did they design a new application? and who authorised it? we need to know the truth.
please anyone who knows let us know.
Also we really appreciate the person who wrote about hulugalle's real story. very interesting to learn about the moron who ruined it for all of us.

I dont think he cant say that,If he says so BOI/TRC may have to pay clossal sum for negligance and inproper advice as CBN has the aproval/Licence from both the regulators and they are supposed to guide them.

As in the case of LBN yes and we do not know which clearance they dont have,if its the fucking media clearance any order given in this case will have to implimented on them,But from what i hear their issue is supposed to be far complicated than this(There is a rumor that they dont have the TRC licence)

Not only them SHITnet seems to operating without any licence and the CID guys have set them scot free,The broadcast is done from India & HK,and these guys are supposed to be selling equipment without the aproval of TRC and even getting a broadcast directly from another country is could be implied as illegal.

Its to be seen how the magistrate,AG and the law says and if CBN cant operate,they cant operate to and you have to be fair and the law should bbe fair to everybody.

Can you pls remove this clown from this blog who brags about comet.
Mr. Comet the clown, pls don't publish your comments here, this is not the place for it.
if your comet is still working i guess you can watch it happily rather than make clown of your self here.

Pls, don't make our fellow blogger use foul languages against you. You can take this as a WARNING if you like!

These kind of MFs are the people who promote the agenda of people like Hulugalle and the Coruppted politicos of this country.This is the real attitude of a selfish Sri Lankan and this is why the country cannot go forward and this is the real Sri Lankan and Hulugalle attitude,

When the time comes,as someone said it will hit you more powerfully than a Tsunami,Why dont you convert to SHITNET.

Dear Comet Bugger,

Please note that only a very few of us will change to comet unless the CID or somebody else actually proves that CBNsat did wrong and CBN does close down.

Maybe if that happens we will change cable providers, but we stand with CBN until the end of the problem!

BREAKING NEWS.

The case has been postponed for the 28th of June,as the media fucker has said he wanths one month to say whether he could issue the licence or not,wheres the judge has orderd that he needs the word by 28th if not he will drop the case and let CBNsat operate.

SATnet and LBN court case has been postponed for somewhere around 7 th July and SATnet is also supposed to be illegal and will be unable to sell.

A warrent has been issued on COMET cable and their transmission is also at the risk of being sealed due to unfair advantage/licence.

This is the story guys the entire pay TV industry is in turmoil.

bye the way dont have much time to waste blogging on a stupid topic, I have to go watch my Fav prog on axn...hehehehhe

Lightning_Struck_Tower said...

Next hearing on 28th of JUNE. (only 6 more days)
First of all guys, it's not a defeat for CBNsat. It is just a delay. It is not the end of the world and hope is still there :)

They will not be able to drag this case any further than 28th. Judge ordered to answer the big question

with a YES or a NO. Shemale words such as MAYBE/LATER/FORGOT/COULDNT (or any word that are frequently used by govt officials in SL) means case dropped and CBNsat back. So either is has to be a yes or a no on 28th. Even if it is a NO, they will have to provide reasons. Lame reasons will fails coz the judge is not a child. It is most likely that CBNsat will be back on air on or after 28th.

I wish all the best for CBNsat and LBN (maybe comet too if they get into trouble). I waited 2 weeks, one
more is nothing.

CID could immediately see whether CBNSat or SonicNet is linked to LTTE if they really wanted it !

After they turn down the SonicNet equipment and seal CBNSat if LTTE is using that network their services should also go down !

But all this time NTT (National Television of Tamil Eelam) and the Voice of tigers radio channel is working fine. Even their Satellite broadcast is also up and running without any problem.

So why can't these fools understand that they do not use CBNSat or SonicNet Infrastructure ?

We all know that tigers are broadcasting their TV, Radio channels and making voice calls by using the VSat equipment and other equipment they brought down in 2002 with the help of then government and Norway !

Why can't air force bomb this location in Vanni as it could be seen from above ?

We all know that for a satellite transmission there should be line of sight between the satellite and the uplinking station !

So they can't hide this dish in a jungle or a bush or underground and transmit !

So it should be visible from above.

So why can't we bomb this and finish off their links with the outside world ?

Without doing it and unneccesarily harrasing tamil people here will create a bad image for the government.

I think few bunch of corrupt government officials are misleading the government ministers and the president.

Our infamous SHITNet guy is only one of them. There may be a bunch of others !

WE'LL SEE !

The Anonymous man speaking for CBN Sat sounds like an insider planted to prop up Illegal operation of CBN Sat. Come on man, CBN Sat had NO license and does not have a license. Don’t live in Cuckoo land! If you accept that as CBN Sat says that their EGO – External Gateway Operators license gives them the right to do Satellite TV, then all 44 EGO license holders including Dialog can also do what CBN does.

CBN sat went into this business with the help of LTTE and splashed money without a license in true LTTE arrogance. Why blame poor Hullugalle. He is one of the founders of the company that woman Chandrikas boy friends company. They had a license since 1997.

CBNSat 7th Court Hearing today

Today will the 7th Court hearing for CBNSat and I would like to point out that according to the LBO report published in the TV Radio Sri Lanka blog, the case against CBNSat should be dropped.

We were hoping for a positive result from the LBN Case yesterday but since nothing happened in that front and their situation seems to be more complicated than CBNSat, we hope that at least the CBNSat customers will be seeing an end to this fiasco.

We will be posting you updates on this forum also, but since it is blocked we cannot make any posts on the front page and can only post them as comments. So please read the comments carefully and very important news will be posted on the TV Radio Sri Lanka blog too.

This blog will keep you updated on the proceedings in court today and I hope the readers will keep the information flowing in.
