With MGM ceasing transmissions in this region from the end of this month, LBN have added Cinema World Asia to their line up of channels. MGM initially replaced Star Movies India which withdrew broadcasting rights from Sri Lanka.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
LBN is celebrating 15 years in the pay television industry & is one of the pioneers in the business. It seems that are slowly but surely bouncing back from the unfortunate incidents that took place almost a decade ago.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">The channel is expected to be available on LBN's Colombo network. There is no indication on when or if the channel will be available on LBN's regional network.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">In order to stay competitive LBN should start improving the quality of it's regional networks.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29790080.post-48012632733312166522015-04-02T09:56:00.000+05:302015-04-02T09:56:58.625+05:30LBN adds "Sindu TV"<div style="text-align: justify;">
With effect from yesterday LBN has added satellite music channel "Sindu TV" to it's line up. The channel which broadcasts on Eutelsat is first & only music channel of Sri Lankan origin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's great to see a few developments on LBN after a relatively quite year or two in the past. Whether this is a move that will be continued in the days to come is yet to be seen, however LBN must progress since competition on the pay television sector is to increase soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are unable to confirm whether this channel is available for regional LBN operations too.</div>

LBN have added a downgraded feed of Trace TV HD & will feed it to subscribers as a SD channel. Trace TV which specializes in Urban music genre has been subsequently present in Sri Lanka before being removed by another operator. We are not sure whether this channel will be available to LBN subscribers in all regions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At present LBN operates an analog & digital service in colombo & an analog service in other parts of the island.</div>

LBN Cable TV will switch feeds of "Setanta Sports Asia" from tomorrow Feb 1st to accommodate the "LIVE" broadcast of the RBS Six Nations Rugby. This means that during the "LIVE" rugby, LBN will carry a different Setanta Sports feed in the channel slot allocated to Setanta Sports.</div>

Firstly thanks should go to Setanta Sports for providing Sri Lankan rugby fans with a separate feed even though Setanta doesn't hold the rights for the majority of countries it covers & Sri Lanka is a relatively small market. Secondly thanks should go to LBN Cable TV for taking steps to ensure that their subscribers do not miss out on the rugby action.</div>

<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2414209155619069710" itemprop="description articleBody" style="position: relative; width: 586px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Subcontinent feeds of sports channels ESPN Star Sports which are now managed by Star TV in India, are to undergo major changes from 6th Nov 2013. ESPN exited the joint venture last year resulting in the subsequent rebranding of ESPN as "Fox Sports" in Asia. After months of deliberations it has been decided that ESPN will be rebranded under the Star Sports brand in the subcontinent instead of Fox Sports as the rest of Asia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As per the rebranding exercise, India is rumored to get a dedicated Hindi Sports channel which will also concentrate mainly on Indian domestic sports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Given below is a quick round of how the channel rebranding exercise will take place</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul style="line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Star Sports will become "Star Sports 1" - will showcase mainly premier cricket events.</li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Star Sports 2 will remain as "Star Sports 2" - will showcase mainly premier football events, dual language feed.</li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Star Cricket will become "Star Sports 3" - will showcase largely Hindi content & Indian domestic properties and will also be home to cricket involving India.</li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">ESPN will become "Star Sports 4" - will showcase international sports content such as F1, Baseball, etc.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul style="line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Star Cricket HD will become "Star Sports HD 1" - will mainly showcase HD cricket & football.</li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">ESPN HD will become "Star Sports HD 2" - will showcase HD football, F1 & Indian domestic content.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The above is just a summary of what is expected, however it's quite clear that there will be changes to the above from time-to-time since this largely depends on the "live" properties that will be carried simultaneously. The exclusive "live" rights for the 2016 Summer Olympic games are with Star Sports and its clear that all 6 channels will the carry games depending on the number of events taking place simultaneously. At the moment Star Sports, ESPN, ESPN HD & Star Cricket are on local pay television platforms meaning that after the rebranding exercise it will be "Star Sports 1", "Star Sports 4", "Star Sports HD 2" & "Star Sports 3" that will be the channels available on local platforms. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Star Sports 3 is rumored to be mainly Hindi, so the most obvious choice for local operators will be to swap "Star Sports 3" with "Star Sports 2", however in the long run it would mean that content on Star Sports 3 will be missed by locals since it will be mainly Hindi but not 24 hours Hindi and depending on how many "live" properties are simultaneously being carried "live", it highly likely that English content will be available on Star Sports 3 too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the best option would be for local operators to carry all 4 SD Star Channels & HD enabled operators to carry all 6 ensuring that locals enjoy the best of sports from Star Sports.</div>

According to reports reaching us LBN Cable TV is now retransmiting many channels off Indian DTH providers. This has resulted in many subscribers loosing channels during rain owing to rain fade affecting the channels being retransmitted off DTH providers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition we are being told that Asian feeds of some channels are being replaced by Indian feed counterparts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the case of History Channel it should be noted that over time it was rebranded to Fox Traveller and then another History Channel was launched which we believe was not added to LBN as yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We hope LBN stops retransmitting off Indian DTH and reverts back to their previous method of retransmitting off the original feeds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div>
Those of you who are sick of the advertisements carried on the Indian feeds of International channels over all the pay television operators in Sri Lanka can rejoice at a recent ruling that has placed an ad cap on channels commencing next month.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As per the new regulations, advertisements on Indian feeds of channels will not 20 min per hour for news channels and 16 min for GEC's (General Entertainment Channels) from July 1st 2013.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The regulations further state that from October 1st 2013 advertisements for GEC's & news channels cannot exceed 12 min per hour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This only applies for Indian feeds of channels being received into Sri Lanka, most of the other feeds that originate outside Indian such as those from Singapore are more or less commercial free for the most part.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

After being off air for sometime, HBO channels have returned to LBN Cable TV according to a post on their facebook page. We hope LBN takes necessary steps to prevent this type of incident from recurring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According the post, those who are still unable to receive HBO should "re-tune their sets". Makes it almost sound like analog TV. Looks like that post was directed towards LBN Analog subscribers, hopefully the digital ones will have it automatically or will have to "re-tune their decoders".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyways it's great that the HBO channels have returned to LBN. Hopefully the HBO subscribers on LBN have been compensated for the loss of this channel.</div>

For about a month now all the HBO channels including Cinemax have been off air. No information has been provided as to when the channels will return & no updates regarding the status has been provided to the subscriber.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We hope LBN takes steps to reduce the rental for subscribers who are paying for these channels but are unable to watch them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
LBN should take immediate steps and bring these channels back on air and make sure that this scenario is not repeated. This is not the first time that channels vanish from LBN for a period of several weeks and return.</div>

2012 has been quite a quiet year for LBN subscribers. LBN still retains their position as the most vibrant pay television operator in Sri Lanka & arguably the best pay television company in Sri Lanka. The most number of channels and the best channel clarity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only drawback being the failure to launch HD, which hasn't effected their position as the leading operator too much.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However in 2013 LBN subscribers are looking for the launch of HD and a host of other services.</div>

Complains are coming in that the HBO channels which went off-air a few weeks ago are still unavailable on LBN Cable TV. According to information being received the customer care officers are giving various excuses for the unavailability of the channel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We hope that LBN rectifies the matter soon and are able to restore the channel as soon as possible and offer a discount to the subscribers who have been unable to view the channel due to it being off air.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In other news LBN added Sirasa TV to their lineup a few weeks ago. Sirasa which pulled itself out of LBN a few years ago saying that they can operate independently and ridiculed the concept of cable tv are now begging operators to carry their channel.</div>

According to reports surfacing LBN Cable TV will be launching HD channels & will also be launching Cable Internet soon. Cable Internet which was planned several years has been delayed time after time but it looks like it will finally be a reality along with the planned HD launch. LBN HD launch is expected very soon probably within the course of this month or the next.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
LBN also has the best selection of SD channels available on any pay television operator in Sri Lanka. LBN maybe a small time player compared to the other bigwigs in the local pay television industry however they can give any other player a run for their money, the only thing that limits them is coverage. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We urge LBN to look into the possibility of launch a DVB-T service in order to gain access to area's that their wire based operations are unable to reach.</div>

In the colombo region LBN is arguably the most vibrant pay television company in Sri Lanka. Channels that are clearly not available on any other pay operator are available such as Ten Action, Big CBS channels such as Spark, Prime & Love in addition to Sony Asia & AXN Beyond.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a great lineup of channels such as this, LBN is clearly the leading pay operator in colombo and the non of the Indian DTH operators and the local operators Dialog & PEO TV are able to provide a better service.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only thing that is biggest draw back for LBN is the lack of coverage and sadly they are not as vibrant as the channel lineup when it comes to expanding coverage plus the LBN available out of colombo is not able to effectively compete with competitors due to the lack of channels.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29790080.post-36026412888593031832011-12-31T17:50:00.001+05:302011-12-31T17:50:40.850+05:30Happy & Prosperous New Year 2012<br />

With these additions LBN have increased their channel offerings to 110. We are unable to confirm whether the feeds for these new channels are the Indian feeds or the Singapore feeds, however LBN seems to be successfully showing the big wigs of pay television Dialog TV & PEO TV that they are a force to be reckoned with and can play the game even better than them.<br /><br />Only PEO TV carried these two channels prior to be LBN launch. We hope LBN adds channels such as "Fox Family Movies", "Universal Sci Fi", etc in the near future.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">BBC Entertainment - <a href="http://bbcentertainment.com">http://bbcentertainment.com</a><br />CBeebies - <a href="http://www.cbeebies.com">http://www.cbeebies.com</a><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29790080.post-43949382641055568542011-02-08T09:00:00.003+05:302011-02-08T09:20:11.367+05:30Rugby treat for everyone via Setanta Sports on LBN<div style="text-align: justify;">It's good news for Rugby fans on LBN Cable TV network as the pay television provider has launched <span style="font-weight: bold;">Setanta Sports Asia </span><span>by replacing local channel Max</span>. Setanta Sports has exclusive rights for the the major Rugby events in a calendar year. Unlike the step motherly treatment given by India centric sports channels ESPN, Star Sports, Neo, etc towards Rugby, this channel promises exclusive live action.<br /><br />Well done LBN by becoming the first & presently the only pay television provider to have Setanta Sports on their network.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Website : <a href="http://www.setanta.com/asia/">Setanta Sports Asia</a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29790080.post-40325033619581254482010-12-31T16:23:00.001+05:302010-12-31T16:24:39.941+05:30Happy New Year 2011<div style="text-align: justify;">We take this opportunity to thank our fellow bloggers who have been with us throughout 2010 & continued to update us with the latest about LBN & wish them, the management & staff of LBN a<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Happy & Prosperous New Year 2011"</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
