They should have planned to move Sony Sports Ten 4 SD to 1555 and Travel XP Tamil to 1549 instead, which would have freed up space for Star Sports 2 Tamil HD/SD (HD may launch in the near future) on channels 1552 and 1553!
The placement of Sports18 2 (Star Sports 2 Telugu) should be strategically planned for the future. The ideal placement would be at 1448, leaving room for Star Sports 2 Telugu HD variant at 1447, when launched.
