Earlier u paid Rs. 570 for mega sd pack incase of primary and Rs. 240 for secondary connection. Under new framework u can get more channels in same pack for Rs. 485 or less in primary and Rs. 420 for secondary connection. Similar is case across airtel base packs, so all in all prices have reduced for primary but broadcasters are not giving multi tv bouquet which is leading to slight increase there.
Earlier system involved advanced fix deals where broadcasters got huge amount in exchange for signing long term bouquet agreement with operators. Operators thereafter designed packs hence scenario was different, now what we pay is how revenue distribution happened between them. This is why fear of losing revenue has led to leveling of bouquet price across connections. Still some savings r there hence not all lost (not applicable for tata sky users)
