Lets start calling them from today and push them.If anyone has news please post
Comet can not run the 18 channels they have right now, how can they run +60 channels. Discovery and Animal planet is off for the last 2 days, forget about the +60.
please let us know the names of the 60 channels.
channel details are available with their customer service section.
They will give all English movie channels, 7 sport channels, 14 Tamil channels ( Sun Tv, sun music,ktv, chuttie tv, podighi, vijay tv, raj tv, raj digital, kalanjar tv, raj music, jaya tv, win tv, Tamil box office & ss music), 5 Hindi channels, 3 relious channels, etc...
Good news...
BREAKING NEWS - I called CC few mnts ago,the guy said new digital decorders will be given from October and not September.Whats happening??Can anyone cal them again and check please
if what anon @ 4:27 is aying is true it confirms my suspicions that all this is a big farce.These guys cant keep discovery and animal planet on air. How the hell can they have the funds to get new digital decoders, make payments to new channel providers....etc. It simply dosent add up.
I am also sure that there are no new indian owners james scobie took the money and ran to australia.
I can not understand the way Comet is working. Put it up on the website their plans so that the present customers can hang on till it works. Right now I feel like going to DTV.
COmet are trying to keep their customers as long as they can 1800/- for 18 channels is a daylight robbery
Now dey saying mid october.Also If you check last months programme guide it says Ruhuna 2001 multivision is owned by Chalmway and Govmnt of Sri Lanka.If they have sold this company 3 months ago why are they still mentioning chalmway??is it a printing mistake or what??Guys please keep calling Comet and post the latest news.
I posted before about comet digital being a total fabrication. Its complete bullocks. If you belive it then you deserve what you get.
No matter how much you call. comet will not be going digital they simply dont have the means to do it. It's up to each person to make a decision
My advice is, don't jump to DTV at a hurry. Dish is a better option than DTV (of course if you don't have LBN in your area). It's less than 900 per month (pay directly via creadit card). Then you can get a nice DVD recorder with hard disk, using the money you save (1610-900=710). Then you'll be able to watch movies and favorite programs by skipping ads. LOL
If you watch TV whole day, and you are a movie lover, then it's ok to go for DTV. (but again, all other HBO channels show repeats of HBO)
Dish Tv will not suit the needs of Comet customers Star Movies & HBO are Indian feed with commercials. HBO signature is not availble. HBO signature has some programs which are not shown in other HBO channels
Digital dream is just a dream.They did it to mislead the TRC to show that they are trying to go digital and to keep there customer base.if they cant manage 18 channels how on earth are they gonna give us 60 channels.Even the CC guys are instrcuted to lie to there customers.
Well i dont know guys, i called cc and asked about going digitl and they assured me that they will be going digital in september as planned. they say there is no change in plans, also told that the new channel line up will be available in the program guide next month (September).
Whats going on??? me confused!!#$%@
if its true its just another 2 days.. lets wait and see
All these false info about comet is displayed by DTV dogs.
Just to give the stars channel it took them more than 2 months, comet has to change the platform itself, its not that easy to see the results in a week.
All comet customers should be happy even if they start issuing the digital decoder.
I called Comet CC they said end of September.This is fishy and suspicious.
Can anyone confirm if Comet is going digital by mid September?
They are DEFINITLY not going digital in september. I will be very surprised if they ever go digital. customer care guys are just repeating instructions given to them they dont know anything. after all c/c guys are just working there for a paltry salaray they have no option but to lie. They always say management has told like this. Ask them to give a name of the management or of the new owners and see what happens. comet is going down
As the Discovery is not there for the moment why can't the comet people give Star cricket on that channel. Atleast there wont be blank channels. They can give TV5 the french FTA channel. On that they are going to show Rugby WC 2007 live. I reckon comet wont go digital it is going down.

@roshan
Did you recive your program guide for September. Did they delever it or by post. Anyway the package looks impressive. Hope it will work.
I reckon they will show the Rugby WC 2007 on TV5, I saw it in one of the Indian forums.
No i went to pay my bill then i collected my prog schedule from their office.
TV5 will only show matches involving the french team in the group phases, 2 quater finals, 2 semi finals 3rd/4th place plyoff and the final altogether only 10 matches out of the 48 scheduled
