Unconfirmed reports say that CBNSat will carry out test transmissions commencing tomorrow. We require confirmation on this report and also would like our readers who have access to information such as what the nature of the test transmission is, to keep us updated on whether any channels will be visible to us during the test transmission and the timing of the test transmission.
We have got confirmation that the CBNSat seals were removed on Tuesday 8th Aug 2006.
According to a report in yesterdays The Morning Leader it says that CBNSat and LBN will be able to commence operations by September.
The report also says that SLRC have cleared CBNSat of having any links with the LTTE. Given below is an excerpt of the report by Dilrukshi Handunnetti of The Morning Leader 9th Aug 2006.
"In the meantime, Director General, SLRC, Palitha Gallage has submitted a report to the Colombo Magistrate that after technical evaluation of the equipment used by CBN Sat, it could be concluded that the satellite equipment by the company had not been used for broadcasting purposes by either the LTTE or similar channels compromising national security.
Further, Gallage had stated that the LTTE has regularly transmitted news using PAS 12 satellite during the period when CBN Sat was temporarily closed. PAS 12 satellite has been used for the transmission of National TV of Tamil Eelam which is a free to air transmission, Gallage said in his report."
We would like our readers to keep us updated on any new developments as the day progresses.

It's really encouraging to hear such a news. I hope that CBN will be able to commence their transmission on 23rd based on the existing grounds. (unless someone dig a hole)
Don't know whether SLRC wants CBNSat help on transmission of SAF games coming up..cos they have said in the dailynews that they are going to do it in a very international way!!
When CBNsat comes on air, i wish they would enter ALL the markets that TVLanka currently operate their shit on. With CBNsat's local channels, TVLanka will stand no chance. That would be a massivle blow for BAC Abeywardernahu...
So far we did not see any test transmissions. We will inform you as soon as we see any test transmissions of the CBN sat. This is the beging of our feed back information please.
