    macho this field is big and need some knoledge to understand..but in simply say dialogtv is early CBNsat they took it while on court matter..their receiver is COSHIP which made in korea..it had a disadvantage thea mean can hack and watch freely that dialog packege.
    so they collect all receivers giving another UAE mage technostar receiver saying they go to convert toHD (MP4)

    true ,,that new receiver has that facility.but they not change their transmission to MP4.it still in DVB-S1 format..several attampts did in past but no HD still.
    answring to question abot quality of dialog tv..is they cheating customers..in 3 transdpnders they broadcast 72 + channels..so u can understand one channel has very low data rate..so u see lot "kadatholu"in pictures while they moving..actually this is very bad thinking from customer side..
    i think u have some idea now..
    thanks
