Zee English and Zee Movies
go on the blink
The two babe-in-the-wood
channels blanked out yesterday on the day of their launch
for a cumulative period of 45 minutes. The first black out
came between 9:30 and 10 pm and was followed by another
shutdown between 11 and 11:15 pm. The channels are being
beamed off.
Zee TV officials are looking into the development. However,
Asiasat officials point out that an unknown carrier barged
in on the same frequency of the two chanels leading to their
disappearce. However, they add that they have not been able
to ascertain who it was and whether the interfering transmission
was intentional or accidental.
Sources, however, indicate that there was a problem during
the transmission of the channels, which could be attributed
to a mismatch of the symbol rate at which the transmission
was being done and the symbol rate at which the Philips
boxes - which are being used receive the two digital channels
- were set. That resulted in a blackout.
