PEO TV please remove logo from screen

We are receiving complaints from many PEO TV subscribers about the poorly designed logo that sits on the television screen. Now PEO can argue that mostly all DTH operators and IPTV operators have logo's on screen to prevent piracy but the placement of the logo is of utmost importance. Dish TV India has a small translucent logo on the bottom right hand corner. Even Dialog TV has a small translucent logo on the bottom right hand corner. However it looks like PEO logo is just too distracting. PEO should take steps to redesign the logo and place it in a proper or take off the logo all together.

In addition we are getting complaints of texts being scrolled during television programmes and we hope PEO refrains from such activity. If they want to earn some extra money by inserting a few advertisements which will enable them to turn a profit and reduce rental then please go ahead and do it but not at the viewers expense. These should be done with no affect on the viewing experience. If PEO is not sure then they should not do it unless they get things right.

The STB getting stuck issue and lack of channel choices still exist on PEO. We urge the subscribers to approach PEO TV by calling them or visit their offices and pressurise them to address their grievances because this is pay television and people cannot be pushed around like in FTA television.

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

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.
