Star Package Back? Reason for disconnection - non payment

Unconfirmed reports say that the Star Package has returned to Comet Cable from last night. We hope that some of our bloggers will be able to confirm this to us.

Anyway the reason Comet Cable lost the Star Package is confirmed as non-payment of dues. According to information obtained from a source who wanted to remain anonymous, we are able to confirm this. The emails forwarded to us by this source out of which we have copied one below without revealing the names and email addresses, gives us the whole story. According to the email received last afternoon the discussions are continuing but it seems that things have worked out by last night. This is indeed great relief to the subscribers of Comet Cable.

Dear Mr. XXXX,

We are close to finalizing the deal with Dialog TV and STAR services would be on shortly.

With regard to Comet Cable, we have deactivated our services to them on account of large outstanding and non-payment of our dues. We are in discussion with them and hopefully the same would be resolved shortly.

Regards,
XXXXXXX

@Admin,
Nice to see the star channels back on comet. Please try to find the new owners of COMET TV and their plans for the future. Hope things will be ok with COMET.

The e mail copied and pasted by admin isnt an official e mail.Its strange to see that star tv has given inside information to a individual who has a Gmail account.Very funny and good we saw this on a friday.Another DTV shit work probably by AMD or some DTV sucker.Anyway star channels are back.Star movies star plus and star world.Crystel clear no pixelations.I doubt DTV will get star cos star has their own plans of launching DTH in the entire indian subcontinent.The much awaited DTV luanch too will not happen as we se the prblems its customers are facing.The way they cry and ask for good quality stuff.Even the new channels introduced are more free to air stuff.What have they introduced? some religious channel and few free to air channels.
Its true that james scobie has not paid star and few other channels. too.He's no more at Multivision.The new owners are indians.They are into communication and software development.
We as comet cusotmers are happy that Star channels are back and lets rock n rol again.DTV i dunoo its a mess.

I will REPEAT AGAIN

To : ADMIN
This mail has lot of possibilities to be fake, just because it came from domain name @in.startv.com do not simply believe it, because there are so many ASP.NET, C# programs are there which can generate SMTP mails and send to a e-mail address making it look like it came from a particular domain address but if you send a reply to that address the owner of the address will deny that he/she never send such a mail.
If its true then you have to publish the complete email address of the startv.
Do not mislead people with fake mails. If you cant publish those complete e-mail address then its better to remove this fake e-mail.

You guys are so ungrateful even that we have a place to discuss Comet. If you do not like this blog and its admin, GO AWAY. I am speaking as a loyal Comet customer who patiently waited the last few days for STAR. But I did not notices any discrimination on the admins side.

"Crystel clear no pixelations."

becuase Comet has outdated analog technology.


"I doubt DTV will get star cos star has their own plans of launching DTH in the entire indian subcontinent."

then why did they bothey even giving it to Comet and LBN.


"The much awaited DTV luanch too will not happen as we se the prblems its customers are facing."

don't worry, the launch will happen. DTV likes to fix things properly before officially launching. at least they pay their bills!


"The way they cry and ask for good quality stuff."

we have good quality stuff already. just a few improvements to be made and star package to be added. you are remembering ancient stuff. can you actually quote any real "crying" comment from the DTV blog?


"What have they introduced? some religious channel and few free to air channels."

TEN Sports, HBO Hits, Hallmark and NEO sports are NOT free to air. Idiot! only the religious channel is free to air. and the religious channels is a well advertised high quality channels. why else would they have good programming.



@ arnold perera

i agree. you can use those programming languages to create programs to make false emails from false addresses.

and you are the one who does that, no?

COMETSUCKS,

When arnold tells admin to "Do not mislead people with fake mails. If you cant publish those complete e-mail address then its better to remove this fake e-mail"

you tel him"you are the one who does that, no?

I fail to understand your point?

@cometSucks
Do you really think its hard to identify you, you are the same a** h*** rahdus.
As you always sucks others, no one is bothered about you. If I can do, then why you cant do. You may have send it to make DTV more good.
Any doubt

arnold perera said...

Dear comet customers, you may have lot of problems, comet service may be poor with lot of interruptions.

I am not defending any one here. I am not saying DTV is good or LBN is good.
The only thing i am trying to do is make customers aware of everything.
This Rahdus is one who spoils every one, making the customers of all these services become a fool

hey guys,
Just go to the DTV blog and have a look, its frightning to see the technical problems they have. I think i will never switch to DTV until all their tech problems are resolved. No cable tv on rainy days and pixalisation means latest technology????? oh god this scares me.... though analog commet is better for me. cos i dont care if it is analog or digital as long as i get crystal clear picture and dont get interrupted when raining. What i dont like in commet non availability of our favourite channels for a long time. other than that . its the best!

Anonymous said...

I hv noticed that for sometime channel 14(vh1) is not on stereo.The red light is not on.How can we tell them to give us Vh2 in stereo mode cos songs should be listen in high quality.Can anysuggest a way to tell the technical staff at comet??

Dont be childeesh man,dtv will improve and they have the money to do so,we might have to cry because the analog boxes are not manufactured any more and comet sucks.

Discovery is not there from morning. Hope nothing is wrong with it too. Who is the new owner of COMET.

Anonymous said...

There is no owner James Scobie has fled with the money. some local thugs called Junkeer & Alwis are running the show now. comet is in really desperate truoble now if they loose more customers its going to be kaput for them

By the way any of you notice the program guide still has a foreword by james scobie what a joke

Anonymous said...

They delivered the June program guide again to me for the July. Is it true that Sangeetha is having somthing to do with Comet new owners.
