Local channels the downfall of PEO TV

From it's inception Sri Lanka's sole IPTV service provider PEO TV has struggled in the pay television market not due to competition but mostly due to bad decisions and the lack of vision.

Having the backing of Sri Lanka's most experienced telco provider, they should have been market leader. However they haven't made use of that backing at all. 

PEO TV has concentrated on local/locally produced channels to drive it's business and it has failed. Channels like AXN, etc are missing from it's lineup. The conversion to the new IPTV platform has been delayed. 

HD content is available in select locations only. If PEO TV is make inroads in the pay television market, they should add more International channels, drop the local ones burdening the system.

The pay tv market in Sri Lanka is soon to have severe competition. PEO TV's decision will determine the destiny of the company.
