Replacement for Fox Crime

With Fox Crime due to wind up operations on 19th April, it's still not clear what will replace the channel. The most likely replacement is switching to the Asian version, however it's not confirmed whether this is even possible.

Judging by the replacement to Star Movies India hopefully it's not another foreign language channel. Also the replacement for the channel is officially Star Movies Select HD a new channel expected to launch somewhere in April. Since it's a HD channel, it will not be available on PEO TV, not to mention that Star Movies too pulled out of Sri Lanka.

So lets hope that PEO TV replaces Fox Crime India with a channel like AXN Asia!

Peo TV Software upgrade, etc

As per news coming out on the Peo TV camp, the last few days have seen software updates (v 7.01) being rolled out to the Netgem set top boxes. There are unconfirmed reports of some subscribers receiving the new Net Gem set top box.

However the rollout is said to be extremely slow, some Netgem set top boxes haven't received the software updates too.

Additionally channels such as "Dream TV" & "Bollywood Masala" have appeared on the Netgem platform as a result of the update.

The transfer is expected to be completed by the end of April, however this may be unlikely taking into consideration that New Year Holidays are around the corner.

In other news it turns out that cost is one of the issues preventing Peo TV from adding more International channels.
