4/3-10 According to Sun Network UK, it is not sure when Chutti TV, Sun News and Gemini TV will start on Eurobird 9A (9 degree East) in Europe. Even if Sun Network UK is announcing that viewers can get Sun TV, KTV, Adithya TV, Sun Music, Surya TV (Malayalam), Gemini TV (Telugu), Chutti TV and Sun News when they buy a MPEG4 decoder with 1 year subscription, the fact is that only Sun TV, KTV, Sun Music, Adithya TV and Surya TV are available in Europe. Sun Network UK is currently having problems with TV-license from Ofcom UK, so they are waiting to clear that problem before the rest of the channels can start in Europe.
TV Lanka Channel 2 has left Eurobird 9A (9 degree East). It is unknown if the channel will return in Europe. TV Lanka Channel 2 was the one and only pay-TV Sinhala channel in Europe among 3 free-to-air Sinhala channels.
GTV (Global Tamil Vision) is currently telecasting free-to-air in Australia & New Zealand on Optus D2 (152 degree East): 12706, Vertical, SR 22500 and fec 3/4.
Deepam TV has left Optus D2 (152 degree East).
Lanka TV NETH has moved to a new frequency on Eurobird 9A (9 degree East): 11919, Vertical, SR 27500 and fec 3/4 - free-to-air.
Jaya TV, Jaya Plus and Jaya Max have started free-to-air on Intelsat 10 (68.5 degree East): 4130, Vertical, SR 8680 and fec 3/4.
The anti-Eelam channel, DAN Tamil Ozhi Lanka and DAN Tamil Alai run by S.S.K. Kuganathan from Paris, who is regarded as a cheater by many Tamils in Europe, will be moving to Eurobird 9A (9 degree East) again. Allready DAN Tamil Alai has started on Eurobird 9A, and DAN Tamil Ozhi Lanka is expected to start on this satellite in the coming days. DAN Tamil Ozhi Lanka was started on Eurobird 9A in Roots Global TV-package, but was later moved to Hotbird because Roots Global was closed down, and because only few Tamil viewers were watching channels from 9 degree East. After the move of Sun Network channels from Hotbird to Eurobird, DAN is moving back to 9 degree East because it is cheaper to broadcast their low-quality channel on this satellite. |
