Attention Sri Lankans : CBNSat being threatened by Defense Officials

Please copy the email given below and forward it to everyone you know.

In the aftermath of approval by the Supreme Court allowing CBNsat to recommence transmissions and also the Share Purchase agreement which will make CBNsat a fully owned subsidiary of Dialog Telekom. The people who were originally behind the shutdown of CBNsat are frantically pulling all strings to keep the broadcaster closed. They have gone to the extent of issuing threats to CBNsat and also trying to force the police to start another investigation into CBNsat.

The only thing that is preventing them is the supreme court ruling which prevents anyone from interfering with CBNsat operations.

These people behind all these threats are top officials in the Defense circles who are making use of their positions to gain a business advantage and have no regard for the National Security of this country.

These people should be immediately removed from their posts since they are a bigger threat to the national security of this nation.

By this we understand that all the allegations brought against CBNsat were false and it was these corrupt individuals who made this all up to keep a business venture shut.

An article related to this has appeared in the Daily Mirror dated 29th Nov 2006.

Please forward this email to all your friends and relatives so that they may be aware of these corrupt individuals and know that the real truth behind the CBNsat shutdown.

We appeal to Your Excellency President Mahinda Rajapakse to sack these corrupt individuals immediately.

I have very reliable confirmation from a very senior person at Dialog Telekom that CBNSAT will only commence transmission after all the assets of CBNSAT has been officially transferred to Asset Media Ltd. He is unable to give a date, which is understandable in the context of the issues already faced.

In the light of all the nefarious issues that the management of CBNSAT is facing, I am of the view that this is the best option for all CBNSAT customers as it very unlikely that the government will want to mess about with TELEKOM Malaysia.

I think that CBNSAT should give wide publicity in all media about the problems they are facing and should also talk to the various chambers of commerce who are powerful lobby houses.

No purpose will be served in shouting here….must go public. After all it’s in the best interest of all media establishments in Sri Lanka.

This is the dumbest most pathetic saga I've seen in my life regarding a freakin cable channel. We're robbed of 20K+ and our basic consumer rights. What do we do? all of us here can't do jack but argue and make assumptions.

CBN are no better either. If they could stop giving us false hopes, we could really stop giving a hoot about them. Before the whole Dialog story, most of us got on with our business. CBN has said “we are back on air” on their website. I wonder what the hell they mean by that. They are obviously not responsible for their customers either.

We just want what we paid for. It’s as simple as that. What has being loyal given us? “Loyal” to me in this particular situation is nothing more than us wondering when the light will turn green. After all the e-mailing, letters to high ranking officials, petitioning, we still don’t have anything concrete. All we have are false hopes. CBN should just stop sending bogus emails to this blog and tell everyone the truth by doing a media conference. If they can’t get back on air, I personally don’t care. Because it looks like it’s too much to ask for all the waiting we’ve done. Who cares if they are waiting for the satellites to be aligned, who cares if they are waiting for a full transfer of their assets? Why can’t they just tell us when they’ll resume transmissions and confirm it? They can keep a buffer do their tests, align their satellites, transfer their assets, clean the office or whatever and not lie about it for the sake of the consumer.

I think posting confirmed media releases would be a start. We’ve fallen back to nothing but dead ends for the past six months many times, let’s not make it worse. I urge the admins of CBN subscribers unite to be more responsible when they post unconfirmed reports for a start.

Here's a good thing to do while we wait till CBNSat comes back.

We'll launch an attack on SHITNET mail boxes.

What we have to do is to subscribe to mailing lists with
their address so that there mails boxes will be flooded with
SPAM !

The addresses are the following :

startvlanka@sltnet.lk
dilrukshi@satnet.lk

NOW THAT THEY ARE MESSING AROUND WITH CBNSAT AND DELAYING THE RESTART OF OPERATIONS LETS MAKE THEIR LIVES MISERABLE !

How to do it?
how reply to the confirmation mail ?

chami_tv said...

If you want to contact CBN use 4606000 insated of normal hotline because this line is for internal calls but you can connect.

Apart from that they told me that they will start transmission on Monday. Supreme course next hearing I do not thing will happen on 6th because through the motion that has changed and the new date is on January.

I have posted a note yseterday under a Previous topic that the probelem they are having with 4 razours in the main Dish. And thats true.
Do not think about Dialog thing because the court has given orders to start transmission.

CBN is getting touch with dialog in two pahases

1. to braodcast through Assest media licence which can done soon after the reapir is done.

2. For the selling of the company which will happen later. They are not in a posstion to drag further the rebraodcasting and it will happen no sooner the technical problem is sorted out. Do not trust Agents at help desk trust my word. They seems to be frantic over the issue of reopening.

Guys I think comet also has beeen moved by reopennig. My connection of comet was cut down on day before the court rulling because of the over due bills. But they have concted it as sson as the Court rule was given.

Oh my god the compny policies in sri lanka jsut like the country polices.....ha ha ha

yakuza said...

any idea when they could continue trasmision.
date, time....etc

Dear LST,

Can't we launch a DOS attack on the satnet servers. Even putting their emails to SPAM lists will do a great damage as their mailboxes will be filled with 100s of junk mail.

Jesika, u dont need to confirm. What these spammers do is if the mails are getting delivered without bouncing back they assume it as a genuine mail box and keep on sending the junk. If they try to unsubscribe the things will get worse.

riky said...

LST - Tell us the way we could launch a DOS attack on the satnet server.

After all Dilrukshi must be enjoying the porn she is getting as it is comming to light that Huluballa is homo,Dilrukshi must be doing the rounds for goti.

Please mind my ignorance. But how do I get into SPAM sites in order to enter the email address?

Are u sure?
Pls dont joke tim like this

Vishkid said...

Well to encourage spam for the sake of cbnsat is really not done for. Those who really wish to go that route - go ahead, but there are more practical ways to go at these assholes.

I really agree with Boris the bulletdodger simply because CBNSat does not seem be sure of where they stand. If not for this Dialog involvement, which is confirmed by Dialog - this is simply a pathetic and unprofessional display by the company and a real letdown - again!

IF CBNSat is serious about standing by thier 'loyal' customers (who are willing to fight for them - just read the blog) then they should hv no issue to start the transmission after renting a new transponder freq and informing the customer base (and how the F did they manage to loose the transponder allocation and surely, if they did, they were first informed!!!).

Money shouldn't be an issue - they do hv financing and they know this is critical. They seem to be just taking us along for another bout of misery.

And why the F can't they send an email an sms or hold a press conference to keep us informed?

After this fiasco - I must say I'm rapidly loosing whatever the remaining amount of hope I had.

I really love cable and CBNSat was fantastic while they lasted. And still there's none to compare .. but they should learn to deal straight.

cableguy said...

You better be correct. Otherwise there will be a bunch of irate subscribers knocking on your door. Not because its your fault, but because we now need a scapegoat to direct our anger and frustration. You see we cant really fight with the Defence Guys. They are too powerful. So we will have to come after you for giving us false hopes. For everyones sake, I hope you are correct.
ANyway, I have made up my mind to wait until next Monday. Will enjoy the nice long weekend. But if it is not back by next week, I may go nuts with this whole bloody situation.
Until then its "Shakalaka Baby!!!

cableguy said...

Let's allow Huluballa's guys blog here. We can have some good fun with them with electronic warfare. Now that we have LST and FileNetworks also on board, I am sure we can take them for a good bite.
Wonder how SHITNET and Dilrukshi are doing with all the thousands of informational emails! Probably must have crashed the system!!
Heeee....heeeeee......heeeeeeeeeee

TEAM FILEnetworks said...

Performing a DOS attack is not easy and we do not recommend doing it.

SATnet is hosted by ThePlanet.com Internet Services, Inc. of Texsas. It will take a DDOS of significant strength to cripple the server. If suceeded, DDOS will make the other sites hosted by ThePlanet.com Internet Services inaccessible as well.

Plus, such a move may backfire against CBNsat. You never know in Srilanka. Do not give Hulla any more weapons that he has. He only has raw political influence which he has used already.
He's out of options after court ruling and CBNsat is now in a better position than ever to start the services. So let's not fuck this up for them.
As per info i received from a Singer agent in colombo, they will begin issuing new connections from Friday onwards. I do not know whether this is true or not. But all i can say is that there is no need to worry.

Hint: No one fucks with Telekom Malaysia

Boris makes more sense than anyone has on here in a long time.

Still, as some of you plan on engaging in questionably illegal activities in "defense" of CBNSat I suppose a rational voice is the last thing you'd want to listen to.

Sameera said...

It's 9:20pm Thursday 30th November.

Green Light is on!!

but It's only for channel 1 - channel 19. None of them are visible.. may be life is correct.. for me it seems to be a test transmission like they had earlier..

any way big smile on my face..

we'll see..

cableguy said...

Yeah.
They seems to have done a short test transmission until 9.38pm. My clock on the decorder is stagnant on 21:38.

this is a good sign.

Hats off to Mr. Muhanthan Canagey. You are a brave fighter. You fought all the way until justice prevailed even at the cost of loosing your job and your dreams.
Trust me, you will be rewarded well for being an honorable person and genuinely fighting for all of us, against all odds.
Dont worry! These culprits will receive their punishment one day and who knows, they may come begging and crying to you for help. You know what to do then!
These political goondas think they are here foerver, and they think they will be in power forever. They will get their proper treatment one day, and even their families will suffer, since there is too many of us cursing these bastards.

TEAM FILEnetworks said...

Guys, I need to clarify something here.

Please read this article posted in his blog by Jolly Lucifer
http://lbinc.info/article/93/amateur-criminal-gangbang

Many of you guys asked me how to spam SATnet email and how to perform a DDOS on the server. My initial response was 'Don’t do it" and I gave my reasons in my blog post.
But soon after that I posted a list of spamware sites on the blog. (Lucifer was kind enough to take a screenshot of it). I immediately deleted the post within 10 minutes after I realized how dangerous the list could be. What lucifer says is true. Some sites can actually harm your computer instead of SATnet and that is why I deleted the post within 10 minutes.

I just need to clarify one thing. Lucifer's post makes it look like that I intentionally tried to harm CBNsat subscriber's computers. I would never do such a thing . So please do not be mislead by shit talkers.

CBNSat was on air for few minutes last night approx from 9.25 to 9.38 The signal strength on my Decoder was 77% and the signal Quality was 59%.

Only 1 transponder was active (11591) and the channels 1-19 were active but all were scrambled.

So it is clear now CBNSat have sorted out their technical problems if they had any. Now it's a matter of opening the transmission at least with few channels !

IT WILL DEFINITELY BE A GREAT TREAT FOR THE LONG WEEKEND !!!!

At the same time we have to be really greatful to Mr. Muhunthan who opened the doors for us to enter into the world of international infotainment regardless of your geographical location. CBNSat was serving with the same level of service to a home in Colombo 7 as well as a distant subscriber in Giradurukotte. You broke the barriers of Digital Divide !!!!

Hats off to you Mr. Muhanthan Canagey. Not only you brought this cutting edge technology to our motherland you fought a lone battle for justice for us the subscribers.

You might leave CBNSat but all of us will remember you as the pioneer who brought DTH to Sri Lanka. That title no one can take away from you.

GOOD LUCK & GOOD BYE !!!!

jesika said...

Yeah ! Yesterday I saw the Green light too !! I was very happy. But i couldn't able to check the channels.
I check for the green until 11 PM. But it didn't come again...
But we know its coming very soon....!

we are waiting for your reborn CBN

Max Payne said...

Hats off to you Mr. Muhanthan Canagey

jesika said...

Mr. Muhanthan Canagey

Thank you !!
&
Wish you all the best !!

We never forget you...

Vishkid said...

Mr. Canagey is a tru pioneer in the electronic age in SL and him being hving to step away due to treacherous and dastardly acts of those few bastards is a crying shame for the government and people of sri lanka.

H/e, Im still to see re-transmission amidst all this - and false hopes are worse than hving none. But if the test transmisson was on last night (unfortunately I wasn't home) it gives some concrete proof. but still if the CBN guys are hanky dory with the PAS guys - most of this delay should not hv happened. So I don't want to believe that.
