2012 has been a mixed bag for PEO TV subscribers. Many hoped PEO TV will launch their HD service towards the end of they year but have been disappointed. The year started off with Star Cricket going off air. There have been a few positives with the addition of a few international channels such as Discovery Science, Discovery Turbo and then KBS World. The addition of CinemaWorld in SVOD, however the channel wasn't included as a standard channel and is only available as SVOD.
The addition of local channel Max TV further increases the number of local channels on the platform. Channels such as AXN, Zee Studio & a few others were expected but never materialised. Some steps have been taken in the right direction but it seems that the management have very limited knowledge on pay television operations.
We certainly hope that PEO TV will ramp up the number of international channels and launch an HD service in 2013. Subscribers still complain of delays during changing channels and signals getting stuck and the decoder has to be restarted to restore normal functionality.
PEO TV has the tremendous technical and financial backing of SLT and can certainly provide a much better service than the one already being rendered. They are also not limited by bandwidth problems such as the ones been faced by some competitors, but with all these facilities at their disposal it's sad to see them performing below par.
