We have received confirmation that Discovery Network Channels (Discovery Channel, Animal Planet & Discovery Travel & Living) and the Zee Channels (Zee Cafe, Zee TV, Zee Trendz, Zee Studio, Zee Sports, Zee Music, Zee Cinema) are now activated and functional on CBNsat.
There seems to be some confusion regarding the Disney Channels since they have been dropped from the lineup of unactivated named channels and has been replaced by Raj Tv which is named but not activated. We are still unable to confirm what the status of these channels are?
In addition it seems that Sha, Hiru, Sun, Gold, Sooriyan from the ABC Radio Network are all available on CBNsat from yesterday. In addition it seems that some Radio Channels (TNL, Lite, Asura) are appearing in the television mode of the decoder too but they are not activated still.
Looks like most of the sound problems of sound coming on one channel have now been sorted out but some of the picture freezing problems are still there which we believe will be sorted out soon.
We keep us updated on the latest regarding CBNsat as the days progress and we once again wish all of you "A Very Happy & Prosperous New Year 2007".

Seasons Greetings from all at CBNSat and dialog. Your transmission is now fully operational and billing will commence as per you service contract.
Call 4 60 60 60 for enquiries.
But none of the zee channels are visible for me yet...
Looser
I'm sorry!
If you are right, RAJ must be on CBN for Tamil Viewers
But We need Disney too !!!!!!!!!!
You can't have all at once. We have to wait and see.
Having watched Disney & Disney Toon channels overseas, I think they are excellent for both kids and adults.
They should be accomodated given that there are several unallocated channels available.
Can we please have a response from Kaluperuma who has provided excellent feedback on CBNSat.
How many of the Sri Lankans know Hindi?
Lot of people like Hindi Movies but prefer to get the DVDs due to the English sub-titles. As far as I know only Muslim ladies go for Hindi movies (God knows whether they understand Hindi) without sub-titles.
My Kids were waiting impatiently for the Disney, shame it was not given now.
Any way, I still don't get the Zee channels.
I am not sure whether the D and DT visible on CBNsat were exactly reserved for Disney channels. I believe CBNsat would have to go with the Indian beam of these just like they did with Nick (?). If that's the case, Disney and Toon Disney Indian feed is distributed by the Star group which means CBNsat will have to sign up for the Star package.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_television_stations
(i'm happy to report that the Toon Disney indian feed carries almost no hindi programmes and Disney Channel India only carries about 10% hindi crap. This is definitely good comparing with other indian feeds such as Nick)
And i saw someone mentioning History Channel audio volume being low. When i checked last night, History Channel on DishTv had low volume audio too. Maybe it was just yesterday but it looks like a problem with the HC feed not CBNsat's.
billing patang ganna nisa ada packages walata kadanawa,Have they already done that?
Samahara Zee channels hi fy package eke witharai enne(1375)

kalu,
no idea about that machan. Indian buwek channel kara nam puluwan wei. Sat tv piracy is high in india.
LST - Umba hari machang,Indiyawe ewun crack karanawa madiwata,ehe illegal cable karayo vehi wehela.Somebody said that Dish Tv has advertised during a cricket feed that any cable user who calls and tells the SIM number appearing in the screen will be rewarded,That means these cable guys are using Dish TV to get the channels.
Mung tika CBNsat decorders geniyanna hadai Indiyawata cable denna,Eka big possibility ekak.

I thought we cannot crack it because customer ID + SMART card no. + Decoder serial are bind together.
India we inne loka horu. Mehe inne kamba horu.. :)
yCrab - More than that they will have the Asian Feed of the HBO,AXN CINEMAX & SIGNATURE(which are not there in India) and there is a huge demand for these,being advertisment free.
So there is every possibility that someone might try to smuggle to india.
Bank Dude - I dont think the decorder is bound,What i hear is you can use the CBN sim on any of the decorders provided by the company(Correct if i am wrong),But in Dish TV you cannot do that and a particular sim can be used only on the decorder allocated to that.
But i hear there are people who have cracked the comet cable,But that would be easy as it is a outdated analog system.
what is the bolg address for dish TV in sri Lanka?"
LST,
Is Tata Sky visible in colombo?
anton,
dont know for sure. But i met a dealer who told me he could get me one so it must be working.
Dear CBNSat/Dialog management,
I just want to make one point clear. World is becomming smaller hence sri lankan satellite providers would ultimately have to compete with indian and other countries. If you want to penetrate the market which i think should be your strategy, you should compete on price,
1. Have the premimum package on the same pricing as the next best one : result: price will be reduced to premimum owner owners then they'll stay and increase sales, second package owner will enjoy additional package hence again benefiting.
2. Reduce price for other packages
3. Introduce hong kaong channels which he dish package does not have
In my case i have both "dishtv| and cbnsat, but i would never stay or keep my cbnsat package with the current pricing and the current set of channels, which i can get for a far reduced price with dish, no offence, but i want best for my money... so think about it.
thanks
Guys have you noticed that when select transponder 2 channel, the decoder time is not getting updated. CBN tech guys should correct it because decoder time misleades us.
Dimu,Whats your fucking problem with dish TV,Without acting like a mad dog come up with your problem?The dish tv sri lanka blog is defunct from the day CBN was back.
TATA SKY is visible in Sri Lanka,and even some companies who have the DTH licence have had discussions with them to get it officialy for the sri lankan market,and so far this has not materilized.
Chunky - What you are saying is bullshit,If you get the HK feed on all channels youll have to increase the package prices 2 fold and you are talking about Dish TV which has over 2 million subscribers and CBNsat which has around 25000 at present and these are two differant market segmants.
70% of the dish tv channels are crap and even the zee package on CBN is the asian feed and far ahead.
The problem will arise if you fuck up your decorder or smart card ,or remote when you are using Dish tv and you cannot do anything.
So there is no way that Dish TV can sustitute for cbn as i also use both at present.
LOVERLOARDSTRIKER- Why do you pay 1300/- for the maxi package, and i pay only Rs.700/-?
There is no question that the subscriber can decide what he wants and what i said was my stance.
But dont expect CBNsat to give the premium package equvilant to Rs.700/-(INR 300/-) of Dish.
So the asumption is to contact ALF,Kaluperuma seems to be right.
Did anyone compared the picture and sound quality of Dish and CBNSat?
I'm also using both CBN and Dish. CBNSat is far better than Dish. But yes there is a shortage of channels and the price is little too high but I'm sure Dialog will do something for that in near future.
The price may be little high but you have to pay little more to get an quality product.
How can I find the proper Email Address as I need to verify some details with CBNSAT regarding my account? I sent some mails to the address published in CBSAT web site (info@cbnsat.com) But no reply so far. Since the Dialog bought over CBNSAT that mail ID might not work. But how will I find a proper Email address for customer support?

Thanks for the explanation and contacts given by Isuru. I will write to cbnsat@gmail.com by explaining the problems that I have right now.
Dear Team
I am Pradeep. I got this contact from One Lisura in CBNSAT Blog. Thanks for that.
first of all please let me know your unit is authorised support unit by CBNSAT - Dialog in the transition period or is it a non profit making entity who are interested in CBNSAT and it's operation ?
However I have few problems, hope you guys can give me a reasonable explanation and then later sort them out.
I still do not have an account number from the commencement of CBNSAT. May be due to unexpected closure those days. I tried to get a Account number but it was not possible as they were not assigned any numbers to my connection at that time.
Even later I sent some mails to info@cbnsat.com but no any reply or acknowledgement.
After few days of obtaining the CBNSAT it was shutdown.
After the bought over by Dialog and as a result of Test transmission we received the intermittent signals and my father was able to watch it.
Recently there was a massage on the screen to call them to obtain the SIM card details.
My father was trying to call them many time and line was not answered.
Finally he managed to call them and found out what they wanted. But at that time father was unable to give them the SIM card number as he was failed to take the card out from the Receiver slot.
Then later he called and provide the details that they wanted including SIM card number.
Then after obtaining all the information they told back to my Father, service may disconnect in few hours.
Now the service is interrupted and channels are not showing it seems (except a Advertisement which shows about available channels or some thing)
I hope you guys can help me to understand what this is all about.
Would you be able to tell me why these guys disconnected the line ?
What they going to do ? Will it give back. ?
Is it a specific case for my account ?
Kind Regards
Pradeep

Answer for Rokey
I am not a DISH TV user and I am not aware what Dish TV is. I assume it s just another Satellite TV in SL. I am currently not based in SL but I have CBNSAT at my home in SL.
I had similar kind of an issue initially and the person who came for the CBNSAT installation struggle to get the signal and once signal come and gone. (similar to your situation) Initially he suspected CBNSAT receiving dish is not align with satellite properly for some reason (No line of sight). So he had to change the position and angle of the dish many times. Finally (suddenly) signal came but strength was not so good. But he fixed it and gone. But intermittently we experience signal dropages and channels were not retaining. Since I have bit of a technical knowledge I asked him to change the LNB and see. So he bought another LNB next day and changed. After that all the problems were resolved. After replacing the LNB dish received signal even at the old location with slight adjustment. When the LNB is good you can adjust the dish angle in a wider range even. So your technicians suspicion could be correct so let them fix a new LNB and see.
Any comments from any body ??
