An Ariane 5 ECA has successfully launched Measat telecommunication satellite.
Sun Direct will take this as a good piece of news.
Sun Direct MD Mahesh Kumar had told that the DTH company was hoping to get six to nine transponders. Currently having four transponders, Sun Direct is keen to add over 170 channels, including 20 HD channels.
 
Time has come for Sun direct users , to perform channel scan everyday to check new channels....
 
Expecting to get more music channels like Zing,B4U,Sony mix etc and International channels like HBO HITZ,STAR MOVIES ACTION ETC

Sun direct has to wait for at-least one month to get new transponders as per measat press release.So after one month Sun direct should also require some more months for testing new transponders and also to provide a new software update.That means Customers has to wait till December or next year for getting new channels.
