A few changes coming your way...

According to reports being received a few changes are expected on PEO TV in the near future. From Feb 28th to March 2nd all PEO TV subscribers will be moved to the new Netgem based platform. This conversion will start from Colombo, for those out of Colombo we are not sure whether the conversion will happen on the said dates. PEO TV will visit houses and change the IPTV boxes.

Channels 15, 16 & 18 (Dream TV, Channel One Six & Knowledge TV) are to be discontinued & according to reports these channels are not available on the new system. It should be said that these channels are PEO TV operated virtual channels.

The channel slot occupied by the now defunct NTV will be replaced by an unnamed International channel. In addition PEO TV is also on the lookout for a channel having similar content as Star Movies. Any progress regarding HD content will be most likely after migration subscribers to the new platform.

We hope these things happen as planned otherwise PEO TV will face serious consequences. PEO TV remove all third grade virtual local channels & concentrate on quality International channels.

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.
