According to some CBNsat Subscribers it seems that the Electronic Programme Guide on AXN is now functional on a similar pattern to what is available on HBO and Cinemax. This only shows the current and the next programme that is scheduled.
We hope that CBNsat will implement a fully functional and detailed EPG soon and will also sort out the problem regarding the time on transponder 2.
In addition there are reports that AXN has been taken off cable television providers for two months in India for transmitting obscene content on a programme called "The Worlds Sexiest Commercials".
For informations sake we would like to point out that the AXN that is being received in Sri Lanka is different and not the feed that is being received by the Indians since India is receiving AXN India. The controversial programme is not being aired on the AXN feed that is being received by local pay television channels. The ban will affect all cable television broadcasters in India only but we are not sure whether Indian DTH providers are also affected by the ban.

Machang Kalu,
Do need to worry, the media minister have a good relations with Dialog. According to you.
Hi
I have a question but not regarding this one,i'm sorry ! i dont know where to submit this question
I'm going to buy CDMA phone for internet browsing.
as some of my friends openion Lankabell is the cheapast way to brouse internet. after 9.00pm it charges only 10cents per minute.(Rs6/= per hour)
But Suntell & Citylink they need to have a internet connection for that i have to pay internet rental.
Suntel has internet in their connection but their economy hours strats from 12 mornong.
Pls guide me for my request
Thanks
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CURRENT PACKAGE STRUCTURE WILL CHANGE WHEN MORE CHANNELS COME IN NEAR FUTURE.
ONCE MORE SUBSCRIBERS JOIN TO CBNSAT THEY'LL DEFINITELY REVISE THE PAKCAGES !
EXISTING SUBSCRIBERS NEED NOT WORRY AS THEY GET WHAT THEY SUBSCRIBED FOR BEFORE 6/6/6
IF YOU NEED TO UPGRADE TO PREMIUM PACKAGE (VALUE 1400) IT'S ONLY RS. 25 MORE THAN BEFORE (1375) AND THAT WILL ENABLE YOU ZEE CINEMA TOO.
STILL WE FEEL THAT DIALOG SHOULD EXPAND THE NO. OF SUBSCRIBERS AND BRING THE COSTS DOWN MAKING IT MORE AFFORDABLE TO ORDINARY CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY.
Hi Jesika,
Why dont you wait few days till Dialog CDMA comes ????
I hope they will give broadband internet on CDMA !!!!!
AWAIT !
Hay guys !Thank you very much for your support!
This blog is very wonderful!
Do u have any idea that Dialod starts their CDMA service?
Ravin : If I bought Lankabell i'll buy ur Data cable
I love this Blog !!!!!
Dude
If i buy a Suntel connection for internet i should have to have another internet connection or package to use internet.
Then i have to pay suntel rental+ Rs9 p/hour + Internet package rental
Do u have any idea about the internet speed of Lankabell,Suntell & Citylink?
how did we missed the program on axn.
the same thing would had happen in SL maybe with a worse penalty like AXN banned "forever"
Jesika,
Lankabell CDMA internet connection is very very slow. I have a CDMA PCMCIA card connected to my laptop and it is so difficult to browse. Most of the time I'm using this connection to connect our office's system. Sometimes it takes more than a minute to change from one screen to another. But if I use my SLT Dialup connection, it is almost like working inside my office. Because of this experience I'm not recommending Lankabell. Cannot comment about Suntel because I haven't used it.
You mean SLT normel dial up or ADSL?you must be out of your mind to tell that a normel SLT connection is faster than a Bell CDMA connection,I have used both and the Bell CDMA is more than 3 times faster than the normel dial up
For me SLT dialup is faster than Lankabell. But I'm not using neither 1250 nor 1255.
I agree with Kula,For the moment SLT ADSL is top of the list and Bell CDMA is the best option for a person who cannot go for adsl for any reson.
Hi Jesika, don't buy cny cdma for internet browsing, lankabell will take 1 minute to load the google page. it's very very slow. the fastest one of dial up connection is SLT. So if u have an SLT (not CDMA) normal phone line then buy a SLT internet card so that u can control ur usage. it's definetely worth if u browse after 9pm. cos it will only cost u arround Rs 3 per 9 minutes without internet charges.
cgjsgI had a SLTNET dial up connection and it was so slow that i bought the Lanka Bell connection,But to me the Bell connection was much faster and it was fast as my office ADSL.
Any one buying a connection better get first hand experience or demonstration of the product,youll see the differance
now VH1 & nick EPG is also activated...but having just the next program is a limitation. d guide shd list at least programs in d next 2 dayz..
seems they r indeed focusing on d EPG these days so datz good news..
Jesika
You better go to SLT ADSL Connection
They have done massive expansion. Check this out http://www.slt.lk/data/forhome/106adsl_areas.asp
Also introduced Rs.1000/= pakage. Contact Teleshop for more information.
bank_dude
how much did you pay for that connection. i am looking for PCMCIA or USB Adapter
AXN feed is blocked on TATASky and DishTV as well-:(
Good that CBNSat don't get the same feed.
ai,
I don't know buddy. My office gave this laptop & the CDMA connection to login to the system as and when problem arises. It's really annoying to work with this slow connection and I made a request to replace this with another connection. By looking at the comments I'm not sure what is suitable apart from SLT.
ubh buddy thanks for ADSL info. I've been waiting for years for a ADSL connection.
BTW prominent media personal Nimal Lakshapathi Arachchi is the new CBNSat CEO. He's also a consultant of Rupavahini co. and he's behind the Rupavahini World channel.

Why dialog is still not promoting CBNSat? may be they're waiting for the 3rd transponder.
ai,
Bell PCMCIA card will cost u nearly 17000/- and rental is 1500/- I think.
Today CBN activated EPG for Signature as well.
Airtel wins Sri Lanka’s fifth cellular licence
India’s largest mobile operator Airtel yesterday won a licence from Sri Lanka’s Telecommunications Regulatory Commission to operate 2G and 3G mobile networks. AIRTEL won the island’s fifth mobile concession with a bid of around USD4 million, beating nine hopefuls including its domestic rival Reliance Communications. AIRTEL has promised to invest USD100 million within its first year of operation and says it will roll out commercial GSM services by the end of this year. It will compete against Dialog Telekom, owned by Telekom Malaysia, Celltel, owned by Millicom, Mobitel, owned by state-run Sri Lanka Telecom, and Hong-Kong-owned Hutchison Telecommunications Lanka. Sunil Mittal, chairman and managing director of Airtel, said: ‘Today, the South Asian region offers tremendous growth opportunities and Sri Lanka is a very promising market for telecom services.’ According to TeleGeography’s GlobalComms database, by the end of September 2006 Sri Lanka was home to 4.6 million mobile subscribers, up from three million a year earlier, in a country of 20 million.
EPG of VH1 is not updating properly because TP2 doesn't update the decoder time. If we watch a TP2 channels too long the EPG of VH1 remains as it is. To change that, we have to select a TP1 channel, let the decoder time updated and change to VH1 and find out the program.
To tech guys, please update the TP2 time otherwise it's no point of introducing EPG. It is so great if you can activate EPG for Discovery, Animel Planet, NGC, Discovery travel & living, ESPN, Star sports, CN, Zee cafe & Zee studio on priority basis.
