Star Sports & Star Cricket now on PEO TV

PEO TV have added Star Sports and Star Cricket to their lineup of channels. ESPN is still not available but it will be only a matter of time until ESPN is also added. According to unconfirmed sources these channels are available only on the A-la-carte menu at Rs 125/= per channel. Totalling upto Rs 250/= and when ESPN also comes in it may be another Rs 125/= for the channel. We believe that these channels should be allocated to either their Platinum, Gold or Silver packages. Rs 125/= for one of these channels may prevent subscribers from subscribing to these channels. If PEO TV is looking at beating the competition they should consider options that will promote these connections. PEO TV does not incur the overheads that these DTH operators have and it is sad to see that even without these overheads their subscriptions rates are still very high.

We hope that the management of PEO TV takes steps to add Star Sports & Cricket to one of their packages and reduce the a-la-carte prices.

Please keep us updated on the latest on PEO TV as the days progress.

Star Sports and Star Cricket should be added to the base package I suppose as the base package ( Rs. 1000/- rental ) has some useless channels... why cannot PEO replace channels such as Wine, Wedding, Travel and give some demanding channels like Star Channels??????

Please remove the PeoTV logo from the screen. Its distracting and annoying (and ugly as well).

i agree to what nipun says. the peoTV logo is annoying!! they keep changing the position and sometimes it blocks stuff on da screen also.

and also now lyk LBN they have started live advertising. during the match they had this small bar going along the bottom of the screen advertising a new 2 channels and it was covering the bottom bar of the match which shows da score and all!! i seriously switched on to the normal TV to watch the match!!

the ideal channel that should be introduced next should be ZEE SPORTS.
the reason is that, when there are two live events that TEN SPORTS covers, happening simutaneously, TEN SPORTS transfers one event to ZEE SPORTS, just as it happened today when the SL vs NZ T20 match and the US OPEN was happening at the same time....

I think this will happen when the ICL comes too just as it happened last year....

TEN SPORTS HAS BEEN ENABLED WITH THE TSTV FEATURE...

IT HAS BEEN A LONG AWAITED NEED AND PEO HAS DONE IT AT LAST.... CUSTOMERS WILL NOT MISS ANY SPORTS ACTION HEREAFTER....

ALSO IT SEEMS A NEW CHANNEL WILL BE OUT SOON... THAT UNIDENTIFIED CHANNEL LOGO APPEARS ON THE MENU ALWAYS..

WE'LL WAIT AND SEE....

PEO Guys are strange. They do good things quietly and give publicity to not so needed things!

They should give trickplay to HBO or StarMovies now that tensports has it and have a massive publicity campaign on this.

It is a good thing that TenSports was given the trickplay. It still does not benefit me much as I am not a sports fan. But I am sure there are so many who would benefit from this. Further, this is an attraction for new customers considering to shift or get Peo. So I guess it is a good thing.

A SOFTWARE UPGRADE IS AVAILABLE FOR THE PEO TV STB....

THE STB SHOULD BE RESTARTED TO INSTALL THE AUTOMATIC SOFTWARE UPGRADE....

THE UPGRADE PROCESS WILL TAKE AROUND 5-10 MINS...

THERE AREN'T ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES THAT IS NOTICABLE...

PEO TV must absolutely remove their logo. It is very annoying and we the subscribers should take immediate action if this is not going to happen. If they really really want to have the logo, they need to redesign it in such a way that the attention drawn to it would be minimal.

This is ugly and takes a lot of my TV screen space which I pay for! When I signed the contract with PEO TV, they did not mention that they would take viewing space on my TV screen, disturbing the information on my screen to place their poorly designed logo. I don’t need anybody meddling with my rights.

I wish these people know what their doing before they do it. I thought PEO is better managed unlike DTV, which had a bunch of losers trying to meddle with the rights of their subscribers.

Guys, if PEO does not take their logo off of the screen space that we pay for, we need to take strong action!

PEO TV is acting funny. If we don’t correct them now, they will do themselves an injury harming our viewing pleasure as well. As subscribers, we must take immediate action on this. Well, we have definitely better things to do than correcting a company and we always have the ability to change the service provider. But I respect SLT’s move to bring in IPTV and I think we must give them another chance before writing them off completely.

Pubudu told us that we should go and write our comments on http://peotvnews.blogspot.com/. He further said that it is regularly checked by the management of SLT Visioncom and our comments there would help them to improve their services and we duly followed. Now, we need their administrator’s permission to post and the comments and they would not publish negative comments. They have asked us to write on this blog with the intention of taking our fundamental write of expression away from us. This is violation of human rights after inviting us so dearly onto their platform. By not allowing us to post freely, this could mean only one thing “SOMEONE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE”.

As we know, the chairman of SLT Visioncom is a man with experience in working with high tech transnational companies and we assume that he has a broad knowledge on how the bloggers can help to improve services of a company. However, somewhere down the hierarchy, certain people would want to block the management of SLT Visioncom seeing the total picture. I think Pubudu as the administrator of the blog should know better than allowing this to happen. He has lost his credibility.

Now no one can talk about STB getting stuck, lack of channel issues, pricing problems and thousand and one other issues PEOTV has on their forum without admin approval and it is safe to assume that the management would think that these problems are non existent! How convenient. This is on top of that now SLT is displaying their poorly designed logo on the creen, blocking information that we pay for. The logo takes attention the most disturbing our right for the picture. Remember, this is not FTA, we pay for every inch of our TV screen here!

We have heard of business competition and competitors placing their people in rival companies to disturb their operations. I think blocking the negative comments and placing the logo in a manner which disturb the attention all points to the direction that SLT Visioncom is misguided by people who placed in the company by the competitors to break the loyal customer base. They must correct them immediately.

We will take the case up and I assure who so ever doing this that there will be no easy way out. We customers will make sure that our grivences would be communicated to the topmost in the company irrespective of your attepts to block them. After all, SLT is the national communications service provider, which government (people in the country) has the rights to make their statement and I assure again that those who are responsible for wrong decisions, if they are not corrected, as subscribers, we have all the right to take action. Don’t think we will quietly shift to another competitor!

All subscribers of PEOTV, its time to unite and take action!

spot on Deshal.. two thumbs up for ur comment. as i know HBO contract has no other cable distributor can disturb there viewers and modify there feed. has to show as they come. so no logs on HBO channels. plus not showing management correct picture is digging there own grave slowly. (ceylinco good example).

i am sure next thing to come local advert insert to fill Indian adds. and we all know what will happened then. as per previous comment we pay every inch of our TV screen. if you want to put huge logos.. then air it free..
