Firstly, Dish TV can never enter Pakistani market legally. For Dish TV to be legal in Pakistan, many obstacles have to be tackled (Governmental regulations, reservations by existing telecom/TV companies & local TV channels, public pressure etc).
Secondly, why are you guys forgetting Bangladesh that is a much nearer neighbor to Sri Lanka and their government has no issue in showing Indian as well as Pakistani channels. Currently, a number of Pakistani channels are shown legally by their cable operators including news channels, that India can never ever allow in their territory.
Thirdly, Sri Lanka does not require applying for downlink permission (unlike in India & Pakistan). Also, the distributing companies do not have to pay carriage fees for the channel for distribution on local pay networks. So, Sri Lanka has no problem in distributing Pakistani channels. Hence, these channels are probably for Bangladesh or Sri Lanka.
