The LBN Channel List and Comet Digital Channel List look very very similar. I have a hunch.
See the "Tamil", "Hindi" and "Other" sections.
Is there something fishy going on?
Also, how could Comet get hold of 70 channels so suddenly. After all, their small cable networks too have been taken over by LBN. So Comet would have lost most of the channels if they could not broadcast it, according to the broadcast contracts.
Please don't take it wrongly. I will be very happy if Comet goes Digital soon, because then Dialog would surely take a step forward.
Best of Luck to Comet and their Digital Plans
Is it really coming ??
scrolling text saying digital testing on the way. website shows most popular channel list. and some channels going off air.is it really going to happen or are they lien to get more time?? Hope of going digital on September yet another dream only. can we really trust comet this is happening??
I don't know about going digital but you can't open their website even from today evening. MTV STAR CRICKET is not there for 2 days. Hope everything come good.

@ai,
Yes that is what I get when you open the site. What's up. Are they trying to rearrange the website with all the new things. Hope it is like that. Best of luck for COMET.
Comet website is working again but there are no changes. Hope to see somthing happenning soon.
i phoned comet. they say October they will go to digital.
Now its clear during the first two weeks of october comet will send information on how to move to digital.
Just two more weeks to experience the digital
@arnold perera,
Where did comet say that they will send information about moving to digital. They have been going digital for years. For them to change the equipment it will take another 2 months.
@qwerty
If you are a current comet subscriber, just call give your account number and find out, how they are going to provide the decoder and when?

I was one of the few lucky( i think) to checkout the digital test.The picture quality and sound is out of this world.No disturbances not a dot to be seen.Same as DVD quality.Its amazing man.But the big question is when will the start?? No one inside comet really knows when wil they luanch.
@hellbreez,
How did you become one of the few lucky once to see the comet digital testing. Where did you see it. I am lossing my intrest on comet as they have been pomising many things for too long. Hope things will come good soon.
Was informed by someone at Comet Cable that they will launch Digital signals next month after the NEW INDIAN owners come to Sri Lanka to manage affairs
@dannymot,
Can you please let us know the new Indian owners of Comet Cable. Cos' upto now nobody knows the name of the Indian company.
A blog has been opened to discuss about the mobile networks in sri lanka.

@qwerty
No idea. I spoke to guy named James Earl and he indicated that the new owners are based in India and that a team of people are expected in Sri Lanka for the launch of their Digital Services next month.
I was a Comet Cable subscriber from the inception and shifted to DTV about 3 months ago. Once Comet cable's new digital service has been fully tested and running without any issues, I plan to migrate back as I am not at all happy with DTH from DTV
Apart from the proposed channels there are more channels mention on the COMET magazine OCT 2007.
ZEE SPORTS
ANIMAX
POGO
Hope thet will come soon.

Ur posts are welcome!
With new managment and digital will comet cover the whole island or is it going to be 25km radius???
@qwerty
Since Comet will be using DVB-T technology, I guess that at least initially it's coverage will be confined to the present areas.
Since this requires 'line-of-sight', I do not think we can expect any reduction either in the heights of our antennae.
However, I am not a 'technical' person, so I could be wrong in this regard.
DVB-T
Like our National Television channels today. Does NOT require line-of-sight, and uses normal antenna. But requires Digital DVB-T Tuner in TV instead of the Analogue Tuners we currently use in Sri Lanka.
DVB-MC
Like Comet Cable. Requires line-of-sight and the BBQ Grill-like antenna.
Comet Digital
Will use existing microwave network to broadcast in DVB-MC. Not terrestrial.
So Comet's coverage will be around 50 km. The signal will not deteorate until around 55 km because it is Digital. But for extra coverage, Comet will need a new transmitter.
Just for you information.
@TechnoGuy,
With Comet digital technology will the hight of the antenna come down or will it be the same. My comet antenna is too high right now.
qwerty, According to technology since comet digital is DVB-MC, line of sight is needed, therefore you may need the same height of your antenna as it is now.
It seems that comet is using the channel 14 for their testing and that is why it is blanked most of the time. The starting day seems to be a top secret and it says in the coming MONTHS. ZEE SPORTS,
ANIMAX,and POGO are added to their list of channel.
BREAKING NEWS
comet cable digital decorders getting delayed to come to Sri Lanka.
ohhhh ahhh loooooo boooooooooooooo
As far as it is coming we can hang on. Sooner the better. Thanks for the information.
Thank god at least its comming, even if it is late.
thanks for the info matchan hellbreez,
Srilakvahini Satellite has teamed up with LBN Satellite to give their customers better choice of channels. Srilakvahini which started just ten months ago has covered most of the country, Srilakvahini's Director Jayathisha Tennakoon said.
Srilakvahini has been a satellite provider to more than 140 countries and now it expands to Australia due to the high demand in the country. Srilakvahini is a Sri Lankan channel, also produced by Sri Lankans. Srilakvahini is presently connected through Thai com satellite which gives them a chance to communicate throughout the world. Srilakvahini has joined hands with LBN so that all Sri Lankans also could enjoy this channel.
'Our main objective is to make all Sri Lankans in other countries feel at home by joining Srilakvahini,' Srilakvahini Director Rohan Pieries said. He also said that it's a pride for them as their staff members are all Sri Lankan citizens. They have a range of programmes for every person to enjoy.
They do not charge monthly rentals as it is a free channel. Srilakvahini has one of the largest coverage from Sri Lanka to the world. They have covered many countries such as, Asia, Europe, Middle-East, African countries, Russian Federation and Australia.
They hope to expand their channel throughout the world and extend channel hours, to 24 hours.
