Sony Xperia P, Sola and U Receives 6.1.1.B.1.54 Update

This update fixes the lag issues found in the previous build. We have tested this firmware on Sony Xperia U which was already updated to the build number 6.1.1.B.1.10 and after upgrading to the build number 6.1.1.B.1.54. We have seen some noticeable changes. Firstly the phone is very fast and smooth now and is very stable. The WALKMAN volume level has been increased does making the sound a little high and more clearer.

The camera is now better and shooting indoor pictures with flash without making them dark anymore and the camera performs better in saturation. The games are running more stable and smoother than they were on the previous build. If you got the update and installed it then tested and if you found any bugs then feel free to comment below.

Kamals Viswaroopam to premiere in Tata Sky DTH on Jan 10

Vishwaroopam will premiere on TV at 9 PM on January 10 via Tata Sky's DTH, eight hours prior to the release in theatres, if things go as expected. The Price for the package is expected to be around Rs 1000 for a family of 4.

Kamal had paused his DTH(direct to home) plans after theatre-owners, who came to know of Kamal's 'unique' idea, decided in unison to impose a permanent ban in taking up the release of Kamal Haasan's films in future in case he didn't' relent on his decision.

Soon After Kamal had called upon the Producers and Chamber official to explain his case and his revenue generating model (Direct to Home Premiere plan through DTH operators), which would be benefiting not only him, but all film producers in the coming days. A plan that takes movies right to your home, thereby bringing down the video piracy concern to a greater factor, also the DTH video being telecasted would be encrypted so it is not recordable.  Since it is only one time premier which concentres majorly on non theatre going crowd, the theatre screening revenue would also not hit by large.

The producers are now supporting Kamals decission  and have decided to stand up with Kamal , leaving theater owners puzzled as to whether protest the decision or go with it.

With Tata Sky coming forward to take Kamal viswaroopam DTH rights with plans to expand in the industry, the field leader SUN Direct not wanting to loose their customer base is now trying to buy studio green's Alex Pandian Tamil and Telugu DTH rights for 20 Crores.
