SLCast to stream TV content

Sri Lanka's popular television programmes will become accessible to a wider and growing international audience with the launch of SLCast.

SLCast has been developed to bring popular Sri Lankan television and other legal media content on one platform to be viewed by expatriate and migrant Sri Lankans living overseas. SLCast thus goes on record as being the first channel to be listed on the international platform with channels such as HBO, SKY, FOX, TNT, Natgeo, CBS, History and Disney.

Key content providers have already come on board SLCast and are streaming their content. These include Dialog Television, HiTV, Verbum TV (Sri Lanka's first and only Catholic channel), Heritage TV (the one and only channel solely dedicated to promoting the natural, folk, cultural and world heritage of Sri Lanka), Arsikmedia (with its popular Pusswedilla Series), Shri Lanka TV, Torana Music Box (with over 600 of their titles) and Shradda Buddhist Channel.

CEO, SLCast Sanjaya Padmaperuma, said "SLCast ensures a full HD quality stream using the next generation television streaming standards by partnering with the best in the industry for its backbone operation.

SLCast offers its streaming service in popular platforms including RokuTV, Samsung Smart HUB, Apple ios, Android, Android Smart Hub and also website streaming. From the comfort of the home to watching your favourite channels on the go, in the same HD Quality is what SLCast provides.

SLCast does not support the downloading of any content to a computer or any other device. It is a 100% streaming service and thus none of the content can be copied direct. SLCast also offers the geo-blocking facility.

If for example any particular market or country needs to be blocked from accessing a channel, SLcast has the technology to geo-block the channel to that country.

With hope to promote theatre, SLCast will soom introduce the live broadcast of popular theatre plays to the overseas expatriate community as the event hits the boards.
