CBNSat Test Transmission to commence today (11th Aug)

We are receiving reports that CBNSat will be carrying out test transmissions commencing today. Although the information is not very clear, we hear that the testing will be carried out internally and some other information suggests that some channels may be visible.

Well we hope the CBNSat customers who are at home or have connections in their offices will keep us updated on the status. Please inform us even if there is a signal received by the decoder. Initial information suggested that a message will be sent to the decoder inbox.

However it is left to be seen, what type of testing will be carried out. Since CBNSat has already been cleared by SLRC then we hope that CBNSat will be issued the license as soon as possible. Just a thought since SLRC wants to have world class coverage coverage of the SAF Games (commencing on Aug 18th), we feel that issuing the license to CBNSat and getting their assistance to cover the SAF Games would ensure a world class coverage of the games through CBNSat's modern technology. Well hopefully the authorities will consider this too.

We would like our readers to keep us updated as the day progresses and right throughout the weekend.

Test transmission- Green light is on; still the screen indicates that “E16 service is currently scrambled”. So far none of the channels are visible. 1 PM 11th August 2006.
