On a inquiry that we sent to CBNsat regarding the current status of their negotiations with any licensed operator, their Legal Manager Dilani Nandasiri said that once the licenses are issued they will enter into negotiations with the relevant operator.
Therefore it looks like CBNsat has not started negotiations with any party and they will do so once licenses are issued for someone.
Please keep us updated on the status of licenses being issued to other parties as well as any news about CBNsat as the days progress.

Looks like evrybody is lying now.
Earlier CBN and the blog admin said SLRC & SLT was given licence now no one has got licence.
To Looser....
We are not lying. Initial reports suggested that SLRC and SLT have been give the license but now it looks like their license has been processed and needs to be approved by the President. However this news is not confirmed either.
In CBNsat's communication with us they never mentioned that they are approaching SLT & SLRC. They said that they will approach a licensed operator. In fact we sought clarification from them regarding their statement once we received this news about no license for any operator.
We had to assume that CBNsat will approach SLT or SLRC since it seems that they will get the license first.

Refunds are out of the question. The fine print in the contract that we signed allows them full immunity from having to pay us a refund, in this scenario at least.
Remember! CBNSat has not been found guilty of anything until today.
The authorities have made all the punishments and charged for the crime. But the fact is, they were never legally charged or found guilty of any misgivings.
Funny how the legal system, executive and the administration works in this country isn't it?.
As it is said in sinhala "cart before the bull".
This whole fiasco is a nice script for a bad gangster/mafia movie.
So lets drop the idea of a refund and work on other ways to get them going. CBNSat clearly said NO to refunds on this blog.
BTW: Have all 70 who left to Cuba and New York arrived back safely? Anyone missing? Political asylum in USA maybe??
Sorry guys I didn't meant hurt you, but things are not going our way now.
They gonna stop cable & satellite TV and bring lots of local channels to convince people about their political parties.
"Me Rate Minissu Thanikara Kelinne Pissu" should be our national anthem.
What ever we say now when an election comes we all gonna vote again for these bastards
What happend to Lisura?
Is he dead?
God Bless you CBNSat.
It looks like all over now.
MATRIX - You are right and i hear they have added BBC very recently and that was one channel which was missing from the list,I am in contact with one of the dealers and the channel bouqet comprise,
Star Movies,HBO,PIX,the entire zee package,VHI,TRACE,AXN,ESPN,STAR,TEN,DISCOVERY,ANIMAL PLANNET,FTV,STAR WORLD,STAR GOLD and Everything in STAR,DISNEY(2),POGO,ANIMAX,NIKALODEAN,CN,TRAVEL AND LIVING,
YOU NAME IT THEY HAVE IT.
Cant the subscriber unite make available a package like this for the die hard CBNsat subscribers who are now slotted with the alarming story of that CBNsat will never be issued with a licence.
Hey guys can you trust those dealers? What happen ih they get caught?
We already lost 17000 & for these dealers we have pay more than that.
If not please comment.
If they get caught,There is nothing they could do as they wont be having any record of to whom they have sold,No stocks,What the hell when SHITNET is doing the same thing despite the court restriction and they give the scrapest channels availabale in the pakage for double the rental.
I heard that there is a whole episode on L.Huluballa and the channel Nine issue on the new book by victor Ivon "CHAURA RAJINI"
Yes MATRIX,I am not going to dispose or ask for refunds from CBN,It will be their untill they arrive to an agreement with anyone and back on air,MATRIX you are dead right when my children were watching CARTOON NETWORK,POGO,NICK,ANIMAX,DISCOVERY,ANIMAL PLANNET,I am not going to let them watch SHAKALAKA,CHITHTHI,AND ALL THOSE SCRAP ON LOCAL TV,but use whatever saving i have and go for a secondry connection.
Why cant the Subscriber Unite apply for a licence and operate CBNsat for them,After all they have given us the infortainment never seen before.
Guys if the rejection of CBN's license is true, we must force CBN management to put up an agreement with a license operator in order to cater 20000+ customers. I knew this will happen when they went on a war with the government. I will not go for other connection because I already lost 17000/= and cannot loose more.
Srilakvahini will start their operations from 06/10/2006 through Yamal SAT.
Well if 25 applicants are granted licences, does that mean we can expect at least 10 new cable/Sat TV services in SL?
And all hope is not lost even if CBNsat is banned into oblivion as they can always sell/lease another providers licence or uplink from another country. But i have very little hope left :(
About the alternative 100+ channel package ALF was talking about, how are the payments made? If its dishTV you cannot pay online directly to DishTV india as they havent extended billing/upgrade facilities to srilanka as of yet. Is there any other way to pay for subscription?
I have a good news for all the cbn customers. Only thing is I can't put it here since all the prejudiced eyes are here. If you can confirm me that you are a cbn sat customer i can email you the story.
Hey we waited for more than 3 months looking at the sky, why worry about those news. Just wait till the green light come.
Please don't give us any blind hopes. We had enough for last 3 months.
Chami_TV if you have a good news keep it to yourself. You can't find the real CBN customers and it may spoil the plans of CBN if they have any.
Be patient if we are lucky the green light will come otherwise wish a long life to our politicos
Dear Fellow CBNSat Subscribers,
First of all sorry for not informing you of the actions we have taken during the past few weeks. This was actually to avoid our enemies getting the info they want regarding our actions through this open blog. They are the people who created this fiasco and they are also closely monitoring this blog and we didn’t want to get our action plan into their hands.
In the recent days there seems to a trend in the blog of accusing the Blog admin and the CBNSat Subscriber Unite of not doing anything for the subscribers. First of all we should thank the blog admin as he is the one who paved the path for us to get together and exchange our ideas otherwise we still do not have any media of communicating. Secondly from the positive responses we got this forum lead to form the “CBNSat Subscriber Unite” Which is a huge achievement. This Blog has become the sole place for information regarding the CBNSat issue as the other media is not giving coverage to this. And we do like to mention the people who just criticize the blog admin and the Subscribers Unite it is very much easy to just type out something in the blog but you have to come out of the blog to see the reality. During the last few weeks we have spent a lot of our time, money and energy over this issue. We even risk our lives as all the people behind this fiasco now know about us. In so many occasions they have stopped us from voicing out and meet the government officials including the president.
After forming CBNSat SU we have been actively involved in getting our infotainment service provider back to our lives. We have written to all the government authorities, called and even met to voice out our concerns as discriminated subscribers. Certain mass media institutions also gave coverage to our activities such as the Sunday Times, Nation and Rivira news papers. We also made our representations in the Supreme Court in the last 2 hearings.
We have thoroughly studied this whole scenario of shutting down of CBNSat and we can come to a conclusion of there is no reason proven with facts whatsoever to justify this act. The accusations made to CBNSat regarding links with the LTTE Terrorists, Technology issue, FTV issue and finally the National Security concern are now proven as baseless allegations made deliberately to delay the justice done to CBNSat and its Subscribers. And during the past months we saw these allegations came in a cycling process one after another and this cycle is being repeated over and over. Not a single of these allegations were proved in the courts of law.
Since they know that they have a risk of running out of these false allegations they came up with this “Security Clearance” from Ministry of Defense excuse. The people who created this fiasco is currently in the high ranking positions in the Ministry of Defence and they clearly know that this could be dragged on forever till CBNSat runs bankrupt and close down their operations.
If our CID is intelligent they should realize on the very first day of shutting down of CBNSat that the LTTE TV channel is not broadcasted through CBNSat platform. If it had happened so it should have stopped with the closure of CBNSat. But up to date it is operating without any disturbance. The CID has checked this later and even now they are confident that the LTTE TV Channel is not broadcasted through CBNSat platform. What did the government do to shut down the LTTE channel rather than closing CBNSat ? NOTHING ! Have they at least spoke to the PanAmSat ( owned by Intel SAT) or US government to not give satellite communication facilities to LTTE ?
NO !!!!!! And it was noted in this blog that the telephone used by LTTE TV is a Sri Lanka Telecom phone bearing number 021-2285879. So it is clear that the government do not have intentions to shut down the LTTE channel but to make it an excuse to run down a successful business to create space for their favorites.
With regards to FTV (Fashion TV) issue it’s funny that the government trying to stop a satellite channel which is free-to-air (FTA). Anyone with a normal satellite receiving system could receive FTV free of charge without linking up with CBNSat. And the government has no control to stop it as it is broadcasted from Hong Kong and India.
And we wonder what this national security issue is???? CBNSat is a public network and what the subscribers do is only receive the signal. There is nothing could be transmitted with the supplied equipment. The Dish, LNB and the receiver all are for receiving purposes only. On the other end the government has issued 3G licenses to the mobile operators and WiMAX licenses will also be issued in very near future. With these anyone could transmit high quality video to any location with a small hand held 3G devices such as a mobile phone. We are not telling the government not to issue licenses to these emerging technologies but to let them operate and monitor.
The majority of CBNSat subscribers are Singhalese. Are we all traitors to just watch the LTTE TV channel being broadcasted on CBNSat and to keep our mouths shut without complaining to authorities? And we wonder how much “National Security” we have by having people who are severely corrupt at the top to the Defense Ministry specially at the MCNS !
So it is evident to us that the government has clear intentions of closing down CBNSat permanently. This was openly stated to us when contacted government officials during the past few weeks. What they have stated is that to forget the money we paid to CBNSat. And even though the president has said he is a leader who is willing to listen to peoples problems, up to date he hasn’t even bothered to meet us or the CBNSat Management to discuss the issue.
We have consulted lawyers in this regard to proceed with legal action on behalf of the subscribers to get some relief. But what they said is that even the CBNSat lawyers have gone far in this case and since all this is controlled by an unseen force (now we all know who) it will not make any sense. All of us have already loosed our hard earned money on the equipment and entering into a never ending legal battle makes no sense.
This is the state as it is of today from the point of view of subscribers. We regret that we could not post any more details of our actions on an open blog like this but we would like to note that we have not given up. We will be closely monitoring the current situation and necessary action will be taken at the correct time. The people who have put us into this tragedy will have to face the consequences of the nature as we believe in our religions. If anyone think “OK, We have played them fool and won” they are utterly mistaken.
