Discuss Dialog TV Here

All non-racist, non-fighting, peaceful bloggers are welcome to peacefully discuss Dialog TV affairs here, in comments under this post.

This is only temporary, as the Dialog TV Forum is in a huge mess.

I will not allow any racsism and religious affairs to be discussed here. No fighting. Comments will be moderated.

I hope you all find good place to talk until the problems at Dialog TV Forum are solved.

Thank You.

First, could anyone tell me if there is any trouble at the SL Post Offices. I heard there may be some strikes or something.

Because still I have not got my Printed Guide, whilst many others have. Who else hasn't?

Hi techno,

I think they were on strike only yesterday. I still havent received my guide.

Techno, i suggest u dont tolerate people like ALF or arnold p in here. If possible pls block them from this blog.

I hope riky will comment in here to give us all the latest updates like he used to on the DTV blog.

@ AMD
This blog will have heavy comment moderation. Here are a list of people who are NOT welcome here:-

> Arnold Perera
> Alf
> Jesika
> Free-man
> Violated

All comments from the above bloggers will be deleted. Others will be added to the list privately if they misbehave.

It may sound unfair to delete every comment of the above bloggers, but it is the only way to control the situation and avoid sparking controversies.

All others who can behave like proper gentlemen or ladies are very welcome to comment here.

Thank You.

TechnoGuy


PS: Since I am leaving the country soon, I may create a new Dialog TV blog and leave it in the hands of a trusted blogger until September.

Guys,

There is no delay in Star it will launch simaltaniously.They are doing everything to uplink by today night and doing everything possible and its in the hands of the technical team,failing they will have it on air by tommorow or day after.

The allocation i hear is that Star Movies and Star Cricket will only be available for the 1600.00 package 900.00 will have plus,world and vijay.

They are working on the sound and other technical issues once Star is up and running they will sort out the other problems.The main problem is the disturbance in receiving of signals due to the location.

@ Kaluperuma
Welcome!

Does STAR channels also have this disturbance problem? Are there any good solutions, becuase this problems has been affecting Dialog TV for ages now.

Anyway, thank you very much for the information.

Finally we will get out STAR-studded weekend.

I am not publishing this on the Dialog TV Forum as I do not want to. This comment refers to a comment in the Dialog TV Forum.

@ Cable
As long as the good bloggers are united and together, it will not matter where we blog. We can still discuss Dialog TV anywhere we want.

The parties with vested interests can destroy a blog, but can never destroy the unity of the good bloggers!

As far as I can see, the Dialog TV Forum fighting issue is going to be difficult to solve. So we will need somewhere else to gather and exchange ideas.

This is only temporary. Once the trouble subsides, WE WILL RETURN to our dear old Dialog TV Forum. No worries.

Meanwhile, it is up to the Admin of TV Radio Sri Lanka to solve the problems so that we cab go back.

Else we can create a new Dialog TV Forum if the old forum is destoyed.

Remember, we are still united wherever we blog.

So thanks anyway for expressing your ideas.

PS: I am, meanwhile, quite happy that the LBN, Comet and main TV Radio Sri Lanka blogs have not been affected by this trouble yet. I hope they wont be.

Hi All,

Nice to see some sensible blogging..

@TechnoGuy
erm.. I haven't received my Printed Guide yet too!!

@amd
I thought Star Cricket would be launched with the rest of the Star Package! could someone please confirm that?? Anyway.. if Kaluperuma and Ricky are right we'll be able to find out if Star Cricket is added along with the rest very soon. :-)

@All
Nice to see that at least some of us realize the true value of good blogging.. Keep up the good work!!

Also I kept away for last2 days with that sensible matter on the blog.

@I don’t know whether this will happen for anyone else or not.From the last evening the decoder has been shown the RED light, can’t see any channel. I called Customer Care twice, they told do the Restore Factory Default.
Now all the TPs have gone with NIT switch failure. Few minutes earlier they called me and told, do the Restore Factory Default again. Also nothing changed and only the BLACK screen with red light.No TPs.

Now, they told a DTV team will come in next 2-5 days because I’m out of Colombo. If I’m in N’Eliya, will they come after 2-3 weeks? That’s not the Future Today. I mean 5 days are very long time in 100 miles. They must improve that pint also, that is left from us due to No-Problem for anyone with that kind. ( I think, they’ll do before 5 days. In Fridays , some of our neighbors come to watch the Indian Idol on DTV. They appreciate DTV . I don’t like to loose their happiness with watching that. The only show they watch on DTV in my house. )

@ I've received my program schedule last week. But still waiting to check the times are correct or not.

@Thanks TecnoGuy, for making better place for return to the point.

@ I writedown this after Ricky's comment on DTV blog.****

After TecnoGuy is out of the country in next month.
and,
If there's any problem on the DTV blog I invite all of you to discuss DTV matters in my "Star Lanka" blog.( As Riky said)

http://starlanka.blogspot.com

If so, I'll do my personal things in my other blogs and keep that blog for DTV matters till we return to our dialogtv.blogspot

@ TecnoGuy,
New software

  TechnoGuy Sri Lanka

July 31, 2007 at 12:40 PM

@ Priyantha
Seems like a software problem. Lets hope Dialog comes soon and fixes or replaces your decoder, or else you may miss the introduction of STAR channels.

Not that the STAR channels will run away though!

Back to the good old Dialog TV Forum again.

There is a new blog post there, clean of any spam or fights, so far. Hope it stays that way.

And also, please forgive me for any mistakes I made anywhere. Please understand that I had no vested interests in what I did.

Dishtv india’s official website has the Link put up for more information on the dishtv stb which can be connected to the pc which they have dubbed as the vga box.
There is nothing there other than its a stb which you can use on your pc as well as your tv set.There isnt any technical information as to where the stb will be connected to your pc or what are the requirements. There is no information on whether existing users can upgrade to this stb if they wish to. I belive such information should be provided. Furthermore it should also have inbuilt recording capability , an inbulit hard disk will do just fine. On another note , instead of bundling a pc connectible hardware in the stb , they shouldve tied up with some dvd drive manufacturer & come out with a product thats an stb as well as a dvd drive, that would be something that really has a market, it would make things easier for many people (specially those who have just one a/v port & can connect only one device at a time) and also for space & easy of use considerations.
