Buddy i was always certain that this day will come.... Just wait as gradually all things i stated will get implemented on Airtel Digital TV Platform..... When i sure about things then i stand by it as i put in lot of observation and analysis while finding answers or decoding such things.... Once LCN Realignment is done post 4 digit LCN implementation u will also see pending Viacom18 being added as these have been kept in hold not for LCN slot or bandwidth issue but as i had explained that they cannot add it subsequent to their SD feed as for that it would require changes in LCN of other Viacom18 HD channels across different genres to meet slab (channels placement order) signed in current RIO agreement with Indiacast and if they do so it would violate slab agreement signed in RIO with other broadcasters.....adding these Viacom18 HD Music Channels far from SD feed or moving SD feed to later slots is possible but again 1st one will look odd and for making 2nd change broadcaster will also not be ready
...... I was even expecting Airtel to shift HD channels to HEVC compression format but now that they will get access to so many transponders if they acquire Tata Play then i believe they will cancel this plan
