My time problem is Ok now. Thanks to Jesika.

But in Transponder 2 Time doesn't work. They should correct it soon.

Quality of local channels again not that good even Derana.

In Dish TV I get Set Max but it doesn't show any sports event. R u guys sure that World Cup will be shown on Set Max?

Kaluperuma when are they plan to get transponder 3?

The world cup will be exclusively shown on SETMAX and it will defeneitly be their with CBN prior to that(The champions trophy was also shown on that)

Transponder 3 will be secured by February.

jesika said...

Thanks Dude
I appreciate your help very much

Hi Looser
You are welcome !!!

Banker said...

Kaluperuma - what new channels can we expect when the the 3rd transponder is activated ? Will the two Disney channels and Star package be available ?

riky said...

Disney will be there for sure,and if not for the transponder space it would have been already on air(They contracted for it way back in june).

Star was gunning behind CBNsat prior to the closure and were looking at a good deal,They are already under discussion and some of the star channels such as Star Movies & Star World are a formality.

riky said...

Yes,Even ESPN & STAR

Electronic Program Guide for Cinemax now !!
How about HBO, I dont have HBO

Hi guys!
What will happen to the existing package holders?

If they keep them as it is they will have a conflict, dont they?

Yes kaluperuma, I have a special calculator to calculate them. Imported specially to calculate VAT..LOL

Hi Jess - I think they will phase the existing customers in to the new scheme within a period of time.

I mean, with the third transponder and additional channels, they would revise the package composition and pricing for ALL customers (if that makes any logic). Otherwise, it's gonna bee too hard and complex to operate on two pricing structures. Anyways, the new packages are at a disadvantage compared to existing ones.

The EPG is not fully active, they hv just enabled current and next title information for Cinemax and HBO. Even the detailed descriptions
are not there yet.

A fully functional EPG will contain at least a days worth of channel-programme info for all channels.

I really wish that they would at least update the CBNSat website. It's the least they can do.

Did any of the channels show American idol last year? Ergo, can it be seen this year if the local stations dont carry it?
