TV1 launches Jan 21st

Maharaja's newest channel launches on Jan 21st at 5:04pm. Yet another iteration MTV, which has undergone quite a few in it's lifetime. TV1 is supposed to a English/Sinhala hybrid channel which is to be available on pay networks & fta via UHF.

The programming on this channel is not clear as yet however as per yesterday's press conference, this isn't going to a strictly youth oriented channel. At present MTV is in disarray with programming without any sense of direction.

Rumours suggest that this channel is to target the viewership of Hiru TV by making it more contemporary. 

The fate of MTV indicates clearly the plight of English TV channels in Sri Lanka which are struggling to survive the cable tv onslaught. If a English channel is to survive, they should either carry current programming or none at all.

Only Art TV which steers clear of pay service providers telecasting CNN is barely holding on. The fate of ETV is still unclear. Which by the way begs the question, what exactly is ETV telecasting? Please let us know people. This latest iteration TV1 kicks off Jan 21st just might survive due to  it's hybrid nature.

  2. PEO TV GO Android application released on Android yesterday. - www.mobitel.lk/peo-tv-go
    Hope the will release the iOS app soon.

    Also SLT launched the FILMHALL too. For a surprisingly low price as Rs.199 for a whole month full of movies. They will launch the new system on PEOTV Platform too as they promised.
    This means Dialog failed again with their 7th circuit channel. Who will watch the same movie repeatedly 3 days for Rs.399?

    This happened in the HD platform too. Dialog was hurry to launch the HD service. They launched the HD package with 4 HD channels for Rs.680.
    Then SLT launched their HD package in PEOTV. 8 HD channels for just Rs.200! Including the HD channel of HBO Hits, HBO Signature and HBO Family.

    SLT seems on the right path now.

  10. Trekking Everest Base Camp - 14 Days
    Our Everest Base CampTrekking itinerary is a direct approach to the foot of the world's highest mountain – Mt. Everest. Trekking Everest Base Camp is one of the most thrilling experiences for mountain lovers.
    However, what makes this trek more attractive are the trails used by famous climbers in the years gone by.
    Cosy teahouse lodges keep you warm
    This is a teahouse lodge trek that begins from Lukla, one of the highest airstrips in the world. Furthermore, the famous towering peaks and the friendly hospitality of the locals (the Sherpa); make the Everest region [local name ‘Khumbu’] one of the hottest adventure destinations on the planet.
    The two week’s trip to Everest Base Camp is worth its weight in gold for lovers of the Himalayan wilderness. The lodges are pretty basic with clean linen and provide good hot meals; nevertheless, they are cosy enough to shelter us from the elements outside.
    Our Everest Base Camp itinerary provides ample time for important acclimatization. Furthermore, frequent acclimatising gives more chances to enjoy successful treks in the Everest region. A wonderfully scenic flight to one of the world’s highest airstrips – Lukla, opens to an alpine world of exceptional beauty. The air is so pure and colourful prayer flags flutter from rooftops, welcoming you to this sublime region.
    Above all, a sortie also includes a walk to Everest Base Camp where expeditions prepare to climb the world's highest peak. Perhaps, this is why most hikers consider this the perfect trip for a first visit to Nepal and the Himalayas.
    Is trekking to Everest Base Camp suitable for you?
    Trekking Everest Base Camp would be ideal for first timers on an adventure sortie to Nepal. The trails are well marked and used by yaks and the local people; the trails are also some of the world’s most famous. In addition, the trek is based in the Everest region, also known as the ‘Khumbu’ and is globally known for its high peaks. Despite the high elevations, this area has great teahouse lodges and eateries supplying organic food. However, its important to bear in mind that hikes hereabouts exceed 3000m and goes above the tree lines and this can pose challenges even for those physically prepared for such a venture.
    Nevertheless, our trekking itinerary for Everst Base Camp is well planned and gives you 2 whole days to acclimatize with slower days to Dingboche and Lobuche. We have organized your trip in a way that sets you up ultimately for the big climbs to Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar at 5545m for some stunning sunrise views that will leave you breathless, virtually.
    To truly enjoy this trip, you should be pretty habituated to walking for 4-6 hours each day for several days on the go while some days will be relatively longer. We encourage you to walk at a pace that suits you without any rush whatsoever. This is a key aspect to enjoying such trips in the planet’s most popular region. You ought to be physically fit and an active walker to get the best of this epic venture to the south side of the mighty Everest.
