These packs were very good. This RIO was implemented by almost all cable. Since Star has discontinued Star World and Star would premier, these packs might not have made sense to them. Had they continued with these packs, only difference between SVP and SPP packs would have be SSS1, SSS2, SMS channels with a price gap 100rs. They will discontinue many channels and add few but repetitive channels like SS Tamil/ Telugu and in addition charge more. This time they have both increased the price as well as decreased the number of channels. They have no justification for their substantial price hike. Also their packs were already highly priced after NTO. Price hike by Viacom, Warner Discovery and Times are highly justified cause of inflation, they had affordable packs and have not discontinued channels like Star.
