No point of me doing same as I have made my mind about Airtel. DW is available on Tata Sky. But I would still be writing to them to discontinue the SD feed while keeping the HD feed. It will increase viewership. As FTA HD channel might attract huge number of viewership specially to watch those amazing documentaries DW produces.
Well, it is upto u buddy.... For me i always prefer writing to broadcasters, operators or distribution companies for answers to my queries or requests / suggestions. Nothing is perfect, just that each one's efforts can make things improve
DW HD does not have licence in India right now, u will just get the downscaled SD feed as u r getting now.
Also though i am always in favour of having wide variety of channels across genres on different platforms not withstanding its audience base but fact is removal of chs like DW does not effect much of subscriber base, till its gets readded niche audience can watch it online thru smart boxes or other mediums but yes it should not b permanently removed.
Here we r talking about DW not reaching agreement with airtel but i hope u remember at various stages different big broadcasters like Discovery, Star India, Sony etc having similar issues with various operators. It is all part of the business, one cannot keep changing operators bcoz of this
