PEO TV's major HD debacle

Information is emerging how the inability to keep a business secret has cost PEO TV from becoming the first locally operated HD pay television provider in the country. According to information SLT has been upgrading capacity, etc so that PEO TV could go digital but the information leaked to Dialog TV which in turn woke up from it prolonged slumber and hurriedly launched HD.

According to information being received some PEO TV subscribers are seeing 1080i resolution options appearing on their screens but selecting them is not causing any improvement, since PEO TV is still in the process of working out their systems. Internal management problems has been deemed the major cause of the delay and probably the cause of the leak too.

Not all areas will have access to PEO TV HD services & the services are expected to commence operations from colombo. With PEO TV making the order for new Set Top boxes from UTStarcom, the launch is expected to be only a few months away.

We now have "50 LIKES" on our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/tvradiosrilanka in just about a week. Please join us on facebook & keep yourself updated on the latest happenings in the Sri Lankan Media scene.

For me too,
it showed selection option in the morning like

* 1080 p
* 1080i
* 720 p

etc.I selected 1080p. But nothing special happened after that.

some testing has done PEO TV for HD channels in some areas couple of month ago.but there is no any rush to them to launch it before 100% testing .black STB has capable of delivering HD in 720 and 1080 resolutions with a break out cable connecting to S-video connector.the connector is S-video to component type.
wait them for give better service for you.

I cant imagine how PEO TV is going to go HD without being able to properly distribute standard quality tv. Its still slow and pixel issues are still there.

vetop1234 said...

there is a on going project to give high bandwidth per customer .once it completed all your issues will vanish and giving HD will not be an issue.

@vetop
Thanks for keeping us informed of PEO TV's progress to give us HD TV.
Please convey our request to PEO TV to switch to Star Movies Asia and StarWorld Asia if possible. We are sick & tired of Indian Advertisements and Programmes. Star World India is even placing ads promoting the Indian Participant currently featured on Master Chef Australia. How much more of this crap are we to tolerate ?

SLT's wikipedia page has some information about PEO HD

@kayhaytha
we cant expect any pay tv operator will move for fox movie premier (star movie Asia)due to high cost for the channel.in srilanka pay tv is not a good profitable business.

kayhaytha said...

@vetop
I agree that Price is an important factor when deciding on channels. But it will be very easy for PEOTV to conduct an Online Survey among their subscribers and ask one simple question. "Which Channel would you prefer ? The Ad-infested Star Movies India @ Rs 50 per month or the Ad-free Star Movies Asia @ Rs 100 per month ?"

What happened to the Peotv hd ....Is it real???

Unknown said...

According to what I heard, PEO HD is real. They are going to introduce few HD channels for free at the initial part. We can be sure they will also charge for those later. They are increasing network bandwidth these days to provide HD services. However, if they do not get their strategies right, they will fail. We want a well-structured and well executed HD strategy. Judging by the past experience 100% probability Dialog will mess it up and 99% probability that SLT follows the same path. However, for SLT there is still 1% hope. This is my idea and I am not an expert in the field. Dialog and SLT, please prove me wrong.

chanaka said...

If not for 48 hour time shift TV, I would have thrown this Shitbox out of the window!!! Before going HD try fixing bad quality output and the freaking annoying freezing thing...

Recently I saw, Dialog's normal channels are much more clearer than this bullshit!

For years they say we going to get this channel that channel and lied to our faces so who knows this is also some bullshit???

Here is an idea, if there is a so called leak how about firing those asses for good and get new people?? I can do a better job for sure...
