Minor sound problems

We have received some unconfirmed reports that sound quality on certain channels on LBN Digital are not up to the standard and the quality of the sound is varying from channel to channel. This may be due to the fact that LBN maybe still fine tuning their digital operations and we believe that it will be rectified soon.

It looks like LBN have resumed full commercial operations and have carried out a soft relaunch and have already issued bills to their subscribers.

We are unable to confirm when LBN will be introducing the channels such as HBO Hits, HBO Family, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and Discovery Travel & Living but we feel that these channels will be available once all the fine tuning of the digital transmissions is completed.

If anyone is able to confirm the date of the launch of the above channels please post a comment in the comments section of this blog.

LBN making a slow and steady rise

LBN which generally does not publicize itself seems to be having a slow and steady come back. As of late the test transmission notice has been removed from their website and we believe that they are either gearing up for their commercial relaunch or may have even had a soft launch.

They too have added a number of new channels but it is sad that they are unable to carry out transmission of the World Cup but we hope that the management is in talks with Nimbus or Dialog TV to carry out transmission.

They have removed some channels from their lineup such as DD Sports and BBC World, not sure whether they are available on LBN digital. We would like LBN analog and digital subscribers to give us a comprehensive list of the analog service channels and digital service channels since LBN has more channels that indicated on their website.

Coming Soon on LBN......

So it looks like the channels HBO Hits & Family, Discovery, Animal Planet and Travel & Living will be available on LBN soon. LBN will be the first cable network in Sri Lanka to have Hits and Family from the HBO Package. We have given below the web sites of the channels for those who want to check what type of programming is in store for them. We did not include the Animal Planet India website since it has been off line for a considerable period of time.
