The satellite on which CBNsat operates which is called PAS-12 (Panamsat-12) is to be renamed to IS-12 which stands for Intelsat-12 on February 1st 2007.
This is as a result of some mergers and acquisitions that have taken place over a period of several years.
The PAS-12 satellite was initially known as Europestar and after Panamsat took over in July 2005 from Alcatel Space the satellite was renamed to PAS-12. However as a result of a merger between satellite giants Panamsat and Intelsat on July 3rd 2006, PAS-12 will be renamed to IS-12.
There are several satellites that are owned by Panamsat that will undergo a name change.
The PAS-12 satellite is supposedly more reliable compared to the satellites used by some Indian DTH providers such as Tata Sky. A few weeks ago it was reported that due to solar flares the Tata SKY signal was disrupted for more than 30 minutes. This solar flare did not affect PAS-12. Tata SKY uses INSAT4A which is operated by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation). Soon to be launched DTH providers in India such as those to be operated by Airtel, Sun Tv, Reliance are expecting to launch on Indian satellites. Dish Tv and DD Direct DTH services are the only Indian DTH providers using non Indian satellites at present.

Now online in test mode.
Thanks everyone for the support.
This EPG problem was there before 6/6/6. Whenever the month changes EPG continues to give wrong information until CBN tech guys re-adjust.
""Whenever the month changes EPG continues to give wrong information""
this sometimes happens with DishTV but is usually fixed within a day. I guess it's a common problem to all DTH operators.
Is rupavahini and Eye back in CBNsat yet? I wonder whether ETV will be added. It would be great because ETV transmission is currently limited to colombo suburbs.
btw guys FILEnetworks Blog is now 'almost' back from the grave. www.filenetworks.net domain is back online now.
All Microsoft 2007 series Products + Cracks are re posted. (See comments for cracks).
However there is still more to do, we sure as hell will be back with a formal announcement within next 2 weeks.
I don't think Neo Sports is a necessary channel for CBNSat. What I heard from the blog is this channel telecasts only Indian Cricket matches 24Hs.
I think it is better if CBNSat get only the selected programmes (SL plays in India) from Neo Sports and telecast in Channel 1 or something. I don't know whether it is possible. But as per Kalu it is very expensive so why do we pay for Indian Cricket Matches?
Yes Neo channels mostly show Indian cricket including there club matches.
EPG thing at the start of the month is there even with Tata Sky. It gave me an headache to remember the movie times on Star Movies till yesterday evening as then only they corrected the EPG problem enabling users to set the reminders for their favourite programs.
cbn is gone guys.
its now dialog tv
anyone checked the epg in channel 1
Oh yeah, CBNsat is gone on the EPG channel 1 and came up Dialog TV. I believe we should prepare for some major changes. Also, hope all of you got the latter from Asset Media, officially informing CBNsat customers that CBNsat is taken over by them. Nice ah?
ALL EPG CONTENET FOR AT LEAST 7 DAYS WILL BE GIVEN TO ALL SUBSCRIBERS BY MARCH AND THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UPGRADED FOR SAME,AND THEY EVEN HAVE PLANS OF A NEWSLETTER LIKE COMET
Kalu any news regarding about new channels and local channels
HEY
does anyone know which season their airing of supernatural. is it season 1 or 2?
the other thing is why do we get series months/years after there original premier date, like they are showing 3rd season of lost and 3rd season of house in the us.
Hi Everyone,
Does anybody know where i can get DishTV ITZ cards? Or any method of making a payment for the DishTV? Its time for me to make my 1st payment so if there's anybody who knows how to do it please enlighten me. I'm Using both Dialog and DishTV.
Thanks.
kalu,
We dont have "code download" now!
So how do we upgrade the software?
Now Animal planet is also telecasting Hindi Dubbed programmes. It's not CBNSat's fault. Even in DishTV it was in Hindi and we can't change the language of it.
I think CBNsat should get into action soon, and if not they are going to loose some of their subscribers to LBN as they have added channels such as
NEO
NEO +
DW
TV MONDE 5
AL JAZEERA
NEWS CHANNEL ASIA
