Article Sun Direct to wait for transponders as Measat 3-b launch delayed till Sept

[DashMajor]

Current space crunch of SUN DIRECT will hurt SUN NETWORK to launch their own network channel now

 

[Bhavan]

I also suggest you to stay with Sun Direct. 2-3 months is hardly much time and once Transponder is activated, they will line up new channels and that too for South Languages.

Yes, I will wait.

But, only issue is that now a days, we can't get HD signals after 7 pm from sun direct until mid night in Colombo. In the night time, HD signals are very weak.

As Bhavan bro says they still have space for 4-5 channels, so do you still think there will be any issues in Channel launch.

But its not a guarantee that after 2 - 3 months everything will be all right, launching of Measat - 3B is postponing day by day.

Can't signals be amplified with bigger dish or some other method ?

These are such kind of things that unless they start functioning, nothing can be said concrete. But as human beings we have the best thing i.e Hope

Obviously they will prefer to add any carriage fee channel rather then their own network channel same scenario is with RDTV also they not able to add their own network channel just because of space crunch.

Already we are using 3 ft dish instead of 2 ft.

This problem was started last 1 month. May be the HD satellite @ 93.5 having the weak signal during the night now a days.

Our dish is pointing in between 91.5 and 93.5 direction to get standard and HD signals from both satellite.

RDTV seems to have completely lost interest in Business and running it just for name sake.

after sun direct moves out to measat 3b rdtv would have space in tps hence they can too add channels.
