Thanks for opening a thread like this. I always find this topic really interesting. :yes:

Anyway, I have got the following, when it comes to Satellite and Pay TV........
* Dialog TV (Pay)
* Dish TV (Pay)
* C-Band 6ft. Rotable Dish / Eurostar Digital Reciever (FTA)

It's great to recieve international channels via Satellites.

You don't have to purchase a lisence to recieve free to air signals from Satellites (Birds).

But as someone else said, you can't produce and transmit signals from an equipment such as V SAT. It's illegal.

Talking about Satellites, ASIA SAT 3'S has the best English (FTA) channel line-up. And it owns a strong foot-print here in Sri Lanka. but it heavily depends on the size of your dish.

You can even recieve some local channels from the TV Lanka package which is hosted at ST1. It offers Rupavahini, ITN, EYE and Swarnavahini. There are no porn or adult channels available in Sri Lanka.

The Satellite HOT BIRD is not receivable in the southside of the country.

Let me know if you want to know anything else regarding these broadcasts.

If you are only interested in watching Movies, you can choose "SET PLANS"

SET PLAN 13 - 4 Movie Channels (HBO Signature / HBO / HBO Hitz / HBO Family)

And just to let you know, they are going to launch a new set of channels very soon...:yes:

    well its like this machan. the normal satellite dish and a receiver[FONT=&quot][/FONT] to watch TV for free.
    without those providers like Dialog TV etc...

    as far as i knw... those channels u get 4 free is almost rubbish...
    u can't get those good quality channels on those free dishes...
