Some channels were visible on LBN yesterday (10th Aug)

We are getting reports that as of 3:30PM last evening all the LBN channels were visible except HBO, HBO Signature and Zee Cafe during their test transmission.

This is indeed good news for the LBN Customers but we are unable to confirm this. Anyone who was able to view channels during the test transmission please confirm this report. We wonder whether the channels were viewable to only a certain segment of LBN customers living in a certain area.

The next test transmission will be carried out next thursday (17th) and we sincerely hope that the license will be granted soon.

We would like our readers to keep us updated as the day progresses and right throughout the weekend.

damn i hope this isn't some sort of tease where they let test transmissions go and suddenly discover that some other mysterious license which no one knew existed has to be obtained. sorry to be pessimistic at a time when optimism is the order of the day but we've been through the wringer with this

can anybody update on the next case date. i am waiting for the transmission to begin. there is a hearing for cbn today. hope the lbn legal team is also working towards the early transmission.

The next date is supposed to be on the 21st as for as i know. but i feel that the fate of LBN is heavily dependent on the outcome of the CBNSAT case as they set the trend in the legal battel. let's hope they get a verdict today. nothing is certain with the lynch mob on the sidelines waiting to pounce.
