This is hardly a National Security Issue

Looks like authorities have not issued MoD clearance to CBNsat still. However it seems that even if they get MoD clearance the license, it will still take ages for the TRC license to be issued. For example MoD clearance was issued to LBN and after several delays the TRC have got the license to LBN ready but now it seems that they have to get a media license in order to operate. Please refer LBN Forum for further news on this new twist.

It is now very clear that this is not an issue of National Security. If there was a threat to National Security from CBNsat and if the alleged links with the terrorists are true then why have no charges been brought against them? Why were the seals removed if there were suspected links? The authorities could have used the Emergency Regulations to apprehend the management of CBNsat if they had the slightest hint of terrorist links? But none of this has happened, which means that CBNsat is being framed to fullfil the desires of the political henchmen. These henchmen wanted to see the downfall of CBNsat and LBN and that is the main reason why they started this drama. Unfortunately there are those who have started to believe in this.

One of the people behind this scenario is now busy sacking honest individuals in the Tea Board to consolidate his position at the Tea Board and the other is trying to sell off more of his cable tv connections but has no success.

Now CBNsat is attempting to link with another operator who has the license in order to resume operations, but has anyone else been issued the license. What relief are the authorities going to give to the subscribers? Will they refund the money using their monthly salary, they should since they are in power because of the public.

Are CBNsat subscribers not legitimate citizens? Are the political henchmen more favoured than the people of this country? Where is consumer rights? Has the Supreme Court become the lapdog of the politicians?

Due to this scenario in the cable tv industry, there is an increase in the sales of illegal pay tv connections from India. The GOSL is going to lose a lot from the tax revenue from cable tv but frankly they asked for it. The people of this country have had a taste of real entertainment and now they have been deprived of it. It is only natural that they will go to any lengths to get this quality entertainment back.

Mr. President you are Executive President of this country and these henchmen within your government are tarnishing your reputation, please resolve this crisis immediately. We know that there are other issues of National importance but remember that the government should resolve all issues of the citizens of this country.

Please keep us updated on the latest regarding CBNsat as the days progress. We have about just over two weeks for the next CBNsat Supreme Court hearing.

true you are.
as cbnsat said earlier last month they should have already signed a aggrement with a satalite. has there been any progress since.

justavisitor said...

Soon this taleban government will ask us to obtain licences to watch tv listen to radio, play with toys, use mobile phones, use the Internet,use a computer and etc.

Alf said...

The sad part of the story is that CBNSat do not want or do not try to find an alternate for this problem. They are in deep trouble and now i feel that they infact was hidding something.

Alf said...

Dude - Wish you all the best for waiting for CBNSat to operate. I hope your dreams will come true atleast in your next life.

If i am receiving any commission i would have openly marketing here. By the way even if i recieve any commission it is none of your business and many whom got connections are now enjoying the infotainment they have been deprived of and only loosers like you are still awaiting the ressurection of a
Company that has no plan of getting out of the well they have fallen into.

Your words mean a lot - FRUSTRATION!!

riky said...

This is pure jelousy from some people,ALF has done a great job to get some kind of infortainment back,Yes its not worth day dreaming and CBNsat is not going to come back and that is a fact that we can confirm.

What mike said is 100% correct and there is no way that CBNsat is going to come back unless they sell th whole operation to someone else,Even then the government could step in as there is a huge scandal.

Alf said...

No hard feelings. Just felt sorry for myself going all this way to help ppl.

However, my helping hand is still with guys who wish to get genuine info.

MANIL said...

CBNSAT IS A STORY OF THE PAST AND THE ONLY OPTION IS TO BUY DISH TV BECAUSE WE CANT BUY SHITNET(BALUBALLA) AND COMET (TOO OLD).

SO ALL YOU FELLOWS MUST TAKE UP THAT CBNSAT WILL NEVER COME IN THE PRESENT FORM AND ALF HAS BEEN VERY HEPFUL TO GET US THE BEST POSSIBLE CONNECTION.

THIS IS SRI LANKA ALF JUST IGNORE WHAT THESE FOOLS WHO ARE UNWARE OF THE HAPPENINGS BEHIND THERE OWN EYES AND WHO CANT TAKE THE TRUTH THAT CBNSAT IS A SCANDAL.

YES ONLY OPTION IS TO SELL TO DIALOG AS THEY HAVE MONEY

Max Payne said...

Hi alf, keep up the good work. Be extra careful when dealing. Cos u might find dogs also. Take care of urself.

This is Sri Lanka, so don't even think about what dogs say.

Max Payne said...

huluballa and balu might try other ways of selling their shit. I suspect that srilakvahini guy and other dealers who came lightning-fast are selling shitnet with baluballa behind it. Otherwise they will no longer be able to do it and my second argument is, they asked to pay to a sri lankan office, which means, money will ultimately go to baluballa.

Guys please forgive me if I'am wrong, this is just a thought. Posting such a thought wont be a big deal in Sri lanka where huluballa and baluballa are living.

So what I'm trying to say is, if u want to go for Dish tv (only CBNsat customers) contact ALF. That way you can make sure that you haven't bought balushit. Moreover ALF's way is the only way to keep the entertainment forever.
This is only for CBNsat customers. So dogs, don't try to be smart and fire-up ur tail.

Max Payne said...

balla huluballa, hulla baluballa, baluballa huluballa balla. balla huluhulla, hullahuluhulla baluhulla huluhulla balla

Max Payne said...

Guys, r u tired? sing along with me! :)

Max Payne said...

I made the lyrics similar to a sinhala song. guess wat?

Lightning_Struck_Tower said...

I also plan to get a connection through Alf. He hasnt asked me for ANY SORT OF COMMISION and i believe he is genuine.

MANIL said...

MIKE IS RIGHT AND THE CUSTOMER CARE GAVE THE SAME ANSWER TO ME AND AS USUAL WILL HAVE TO LOOK INTO THE COURT PROCEEDINGS.

FALSE ALARM GUYS

Lankikaya said...

I checked with CBN 15 mts. ago. They confirmed that within two weeks they will start transmission as they have made an arrangement with a licenced party.

riky said...

What is the big BANG,are they going to blow a bomb or light fire crackers.

Even i called the customer care and they said they do not have any arrangement at present and have to work on after the outcome of the court hearing.

riky said...

Lankikaya - Dont talk absolute rubish,There is no single licenced operator who has been issued with an licence to operate satettlite TV.

Dont mislead the innocent subscribers who are waiting for the green light on the decorder.

Lankikaya said...

No need to believe me :)

Any interested subscriber can just give a call to CBNSat.

Over to the non-believers.

cableguy said...

Hmmmm... This is interesting.
I got an email from the SUbscriber Unite to call CBNSat. I did at about 2.30pm. I couldn't understand half of what he was saying. He was mumbling the whole time.

From what I understood, he said they will come back partnering with a different company. Not as CBNSat but some other name. He said they are finlaizing matters and it may happen within the next two weeks. I guess it wouldnt hurt to keep my fingers crossed for 2 more weeks before I jump on a DISHTV conection from ALF.

MANIL said...

SILENT_WARRIOR may have got the information from the owners of CBNsat,as these WARRIORS are after a miracle inteligent people like alf and his friends are enjoying a revolution in infortainment.

MANIL said...

No hard feelings SILENT_WARRIOR,because everything mentioned here is conflicting and it is more than 4 months after the closure,We have heard stroies,were given hope and nothing realy materilized,So it is fare enough to think that this whole issue of two weeks is fabricated,untill we see it in reality and the decorder light is green

MANIL said...

Where is LISURA and the SUBSCRIBER UNITE as they may be aware if anything of this sort is taking place

Hi Shamil!

Yes, we are still here and closely watching the situation.

Some one said somewhere "patience grasshopper...." and i have tons of it.

Keep your fingers crossed until the 1st of next month.

Alf said...

Well..Well I have been following these discussions very closely and it seems there is some sort of strategy followed by CBNSat to keep the existing customers.

With some personnel investigation into this situation i recommend to my fellow blogger the following:

All those who want to buy DishTV connections to wait till next court hearing and see the outcome because it will be the judgement day for CBNsat. They will have to disclose their stand to the Courts and the subscribers.

All those who evaluated DishTV and want to go ahead (due to many advantages) irrespective of CBNsat decision can contact me.

At this point i do not want to disclose any more info.

Chunky - I do not know your email address. Pls send it via subscriber unite or blog admin.

cableguy said...

I love the way fellow bloggers argue and then make up on this blog. PEACE MAN! PEACE!!

Jaya wevaa!!!

bank_dude said...

Blog admin,

Could you please confirm what our bloggers mentioned here.

TV & Radio Sri Lanka said...

We are unable to confirm anything. Things are still sketchy at the moment.

We believe something is happening towards the positive side of things but like we said earlier we cannot confirm anything.

It is better the information is kept that way, due to the fact that vested interests are also monitoring this blog. But we are unable to clarify anything.

As soon as we receive confirmed info we will post it on the blog.

MANIL said...

How is the one day match on SETMAX guys and i hear even the 2007 world cup will be broadcast through SETMAX.

So has this SRILAKVAHINI guys commenced their transmission? I spoke to them once and the guy was talking of some YAMAL,Is it a channel or a sattelite?

Looser said...

Yamal 202 is a satellite. I think you need a C band Antenna to receive to Srilakvahini. Don't know weather they have started yet?

It will be like our local channels for sure

MANIL said...

Thanks looser,The way they talk this must be some shit like TVLANKA,Even a friend who visited the place told me that it resembles a government department and you can imagine what the content is going to be.

Hope for the best.

Lightning_Struck_Tower said...

CBNsat reps once (few months back) told me they got temporary licence. I came down here and posted it not to spread lies but to share the joy (later i found i was misinformed about licence, point is that reps are known to misinform ppl). I am sure what some bloggers did was the same. They have been blogging here for quite a long time.

Are you the god of this blog and do we need to ask you for permission to post? No offence but couldnt stop asking this as i detected a touch of 'assholyness' in ur comment.

About CBNsat scenario, is it true that no operator is still given a licence for cable TV/DTH? Or was a licence given to SLT and rupavahini? What sort of licence does Dialog possess?

yakuza said...

so many different comments. and all of them are different from each other. i havn't call cbn. but from experience calling cbn, i think there is a chance all this could be a fluke.
Hope i am wrong

Alf said...

Nobody knows what license should be used for what since thre are so many licenses such as media licenses, MOD clearance, RLRC licence.....only thing missing is driving license's. LOL

yakuza said...

ravin
looks like you are frustrated as all of us cbn customers.
but mind your language, and dont blame any bloggers without eviedence.
looks like you join the blog recently.

Anyone contact me via Blog Admin or Subscriber unite. Pls send a mail to them requesting them to forward it to me.

Alf said...

Ravin is correct. Cannot use the CBNSat decorder to watch DishTV. The VC card number and the STB Number(Decorder No) should match.

Today morning i have recieved from Blog admin a list of ppl who wanted to contact me . I will reply to them during the course of the day.

""Pay-TV piracy on the rise in Asia: study


HONG KONG, Oct 24, 2006 (AFP) - Pay-TV piracy in Asia is estimated to cost the industry 1.13 billion US dollars in 2006, up 6.6 percent from 2005, a survey said Friday.

The annual report by the Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (CASBAA), that studied TV markets across 11 Asian countries, said the number of illegal connections is expected to have risen 20 percent to 5.2 million in 2006.

India remains to be the region's biggest loser to pay-TV piracy which is expected to cost the industry 685 million dollars, while Thailand will record the region's second-highest loss at 160 million dollars.

Hong Kong will see a 29 percent increase in the loss of revenues to piracy at 32.4 million dollars as the number of illegal connections by individuals and rogue cable operators remains the biggest problem.

Illegal connections is estimated to have grown 16 percent year-on-year to 1.382 million in 2006.

If only we could find a way to crack sat tv connections just like we do to software....

riky said...

Yes i pay a renatal of 900/- and paid a connection fee of 20000/-,I didnt buy from the dealer is beacause the owner is a notorious character and someone who will do anything for money.

So by what LST said there are such a large figure who can crack encryptions such as conax,iderto etc?

I feel it will be easy for someone to crack an analog decorder like comet and it is interesting to note such figures have actualy pirated digital technology.

Any news about CBNsat and with whom they are going to partner with?

Thanks for your information.

but how do u upgrade new channels without web access ?

sanju

Lightning_Struck_Tower said...

""So people who are buying Dish Tv dont be discouraged by these interested parties.""

dude ravin,
it was me who posted the story. What do you mean by interested parties? Was that an accusation? If so dont talk bullshit. PLEASE DO NOT BE MISTAKEN; I AM NOT TRYING TO DISCOURAGE ANYONE OF BUYING DISHTV INDIA. I merely quoted the article from LBO. Of course a connection you pay a monthly retal to dishtv of India doesnt fall under "pirated" category. you gotta be retarded to think of such as piracy.I never accused any dish connection holders of piracy or any other shit. btw i also plan to buy one through alf once i get back home.

Lightning_Struck_Tower said...

Anyone saw last Sunday's Divaina newspaper? On 2nd page there is an article saying that the media ministry got 10 applications from satellite channel operators. Mr Ganegale has commented saying that no decision is made yet on any of the applications. He has also mentioned the need for a set of laws regulating the industry before granting approval for license applications. So looks like CBNsat has very limited set of options. In fact there seems to be only one practical solution. That will be up linking from a different country. It would take forever for the govt arses to implement new laws and approve a shitload number of licenses.

Btw the new version of Internet Explorer was released few days back. (Internet Explorer 7.0) This version is far more secure and has a rich feature set such as RSS feeds which will enhance blogging and web surfing experience. Its essential to upgrade to this version coz soon it will become the standard web browser used by majority on net plus you will be less prone security threats. If you are an Internet Explorer hater, you can just try Mozilla Firefox 2.0 which was released yesterday and is a good (if not superior) alternative to Internet Explorer.

However, to install Internet Explorer 7.0 you need a genuine version of windows. That means u need an original windows XP CD purchased from Microsoft which will cost around 30000 LKR (insane!!! Regulate this if you can GoSL!!!). Internet Explorer setup will validate your copy of windows and in most srilankan PCs you will get the message "Your copy of windows is not genuine. You are a victim of software counterfeiting. Please purchase original bla bla bla" Genuine validation is going to be required for all UPCOMING Microsoft software such as Office 2007, Media player 11, Windows Defender, etc. , Future doesn’t look good for countries like SL who cant afford hefty prices for software.

Nah that aint going to be the case.

"For legal Dish TV connections with 5000/- rs discount when using CBNsat dish -dilrukshi@satnet.lk
Or call 2596800"

Hey Guys
Huluballa's people are desperate! Posting on this blog to sell their shitnet.
Why dont we start our little fun game again. Call the number(also ask all your friends to call too) and talk to them about their Sat Connection for hours and waste their time, while you have fun.

On principle, Please dont fall for the above ad. If any of you are really, really hungry for infotainment, please contact one of the guys who sell DishTV directly from India. No hassel, surefire way of continuous and much better entertaintment, immuned from any GOSL control.

Pau aney. Balla trying everything to make money.

Who is having the last laugh now???

""LST CBNsat has already decided to fix the uplinking equipment in your arse,Are you trying to be the lord here.""

Lol ok. Does that mean you are interested in my arse and you check on my arse from time to time? Sorry dude I aint gay. Don’t worry you'll find some other ponz like you one of these days. Btw no one is trying to be the lord here except you. I'm just sharing information i know (that’s what blogging is about) if you have a problem with that fuck off.

Lol. We fucked Microsoft. That’s got to count as some serious "shit".

How to crack Genuine Advantage:
(Dear admin, forgive me for posting off topic stuff in your blog)

Note to Laptop users: Most windows installations that come with laptops are genuine. So there will be no need to apply the crack if you are a laptop user.

Method 1: Works on 90% of the cases.

1.Download the "FILEnetworks Windows Reactivator" (204KB .ZIP file) from http://www.uploading.com/files/7YH6LJMS/Fnets.zip.html. Choose "FREE" and continue. If it says "All download slots allocated to ur country is in use, click on the back button on your browser and click on 'free' button again. Keep trying it should be ok in few mins.
Save the file to your hard disk (any folder). Locate the saved file (file name is Fnets.zip) on hard disk and unzip it.
2.Locate 'PID Changer.exe' file in the unzipped directory and run it.
3.Click on the reactivate button. (you might get an error message at this stage. Simply click ok and ignore it.)
4.An Activate Windows dialog box titled "Let's reactivate windows" will open.
5.Under "Do you want to activate windows now", choose the 2nd option " I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate windows" and click next.
6. Once you click next, the window will momentarily display "Generating new installation ID" and load a new form. Locate the "Change product key" Button at the bottom of the window. Click that button.
7.In the 'New Key' Field type V2C47-MK7JD-3R89F-D2KXW-VPK3J. Warning: Type the key exactly as displayed here.
8. Click on the 'Update" button at the bottom.
9. The window will change to the previous state. Close the window without clicking any buttons.
10. Close "FILEnetworks Window Reactivator" program as well. If you get any error messages while closing, simply click ok and ignore them. (these are minor bugs of Filenetworks PID, not faults of ur PC). Restart your computer.

Now your computer contains a genuine windows installation. What really happened was that the blacklisted serial number of your pirated copy of windows was changed to a new Volume License Key which is invulnerable to WGA copy protection. To obtain this invincible key from MS servers, brilliant hacking skills of FILEnetworks members were put into action :p

This method works on most cases. In case this didn’t work, or if you run into any problems with this method, just drop a mail to filenetworks@gmail.com. Coz there are 3 more ways of cracking WGA. These include methods to unblock already blacklisted systems as well. So if you have trouble drop us a mail and we'll email you one of the remaining fixes. The above mentioned method is the easiest.

- 2401 Penitent Tangent
- 343 Guilty Spark
- Lightning_Struck_Tower
- CodeHammer
- Raz0r
- BSS--
FILEnetworks- 100% Srilankan ass kicking.


P.S.--There is no way to trace a DishTV connection purchased from india. Dont buy from Shitnet. Buy directly from india/via underground dealers. That isnt piracy or any vialotion of DishTV agreements. SHITnet robs customers by offering the shittiest package for rs 1200 (Which is more than twice the original dishtv charge for basic package)

Curious Kani said...

Dear LST!

If you dont download the WGA tool via windows update by setting WU as notify instead of automatic. then all you have to worry about is microsoft download center when you download any other patches/files from MS. in that case all you have to do is to scroll down in any download page to find alternative download links which doesnt check for WGA :). no need to muck with any serial numbers :)
(no offence! ;) )

rabbithole:
Thanks 4 the comment.
You are partially correct. But your method is effective for downloading Security and critical updates only. You could just download the update from alternate download location. (There are software which contain all post SP2 security updates packaged such as AutoPatcher)

But with the newer generation of MS software such as IE7, WMP11, OneCare, Defender, Office 2007 etc., Microsoft has made Genuine validation compulsory. Even if you download the full setup program from alternate location WGA validation is still required and built into the setup program. However, security and critical updates from Microsoft still do not require genuine validation. But the new generation of MS application software requires (and will require) the system to be validated before installation. They are spreading it step by step. Slowly but surely, validation will become compulsory for MS products. It's their main weapon against piracy.

MS hinted that Windows Vista will have stronger anti piracy measures. Some parts of the OS may actually get disabled or locked down once Vista detects a counterfeit installation. MS has also said Vista is un-crackable (bullshit :p). My personal feeling is that Vista will be cracked within 24 hours after release (maybe before release). Someone somewhere will find a way!

If it's makable, its crackable.

Hey does anyone know what a Sat tracking meter is?

And can anyone who got a FTA receiver let me know weather the LTTE channel is still visible?
Kfirs blasted the shit out of LTTE uplinking facility (rightly so)and i heard their europe transmission came to a standstill.

Well done SLAF anyways.

Hi LST,

Sat tracker meter is a device used to fix to the LNB and align the Dish to the Satalite. To get the best line of site.

Yo,
Those who got DishTV but didnt get web access, send an email to filenetworks@gmail.com We have a simple workaround which we think will alow you gain access to the web interface. It has been tested with one connection so far.

Send a mail if you are interested as i do not think publishing the method (thought its a simple method) in public will help :p

When you send mail, metion your blogger ID as well.

Lisura said...

Good News Friends !

CBNSat says they are in the final stages of signing a deal with Rupavahini Corporation. They are very much hopefull that they can begin transmission very soon.

Most probably within this week or next week. They will keep the subscribers informed via SMS and public media.
