So dishd2h customers ported before
Trai trying to bring Portability
My dish box ported to d2h
In coming days to adtv
My d2h box will b ported to adtv soon
So we dishd2h r lucky to have Portability option before Trai plans

I am using dishtv sinces 2007 and now so sad after watching condition of dishtv.

Before the new TRAI rule DishTV give more than 50 HD channels for just 225(Full on HD pack). Now users have to pay 1000 rupees to get the same 50 channels.
Now people only get Max 3 channel in 200(including rs.153 NCF)
Only Tatasky customer are happy with the new rule...

Bro I Dont Think Any Customers Are Fully Satisfied With This Rule. Yes Tatasky Customers Are Happy Because of HD Access Fee Removal. But Due To New Tata Sky Multi TV Policy, They Are Also Unhappy.

Read a news article about this take-over on Manorama website (Malayalam).
As per the report, Aitrel and US equity firm Warburg Pincus are trying to acquire the shares of DishTV-d2H for 4,800-5,300 crores of rupees.
16,000 കോടിയുടെ കടം വീട്ടാൻ 5,000 കോടിക്ക് ഡിഷ് ടിവി വില്‍ക്കുന്നു, വാങ്ങുന്നത് എയർടെൽ
(I couldn't find an English version of the article).

 

[Abhinav]

Airtel is planning to partner with private equity firm Warburg Pincus to pay Rs 45 to Rs 50 per share to Goel, somewhere between Rs 4,800 crore to Rs 5,300 crore.

After acquiring the Goel’s stake through a share swap, Airtel would open offer 20 per cent for shareholding.

Deal may be Finalized next month. When negotiations began in March, the promoters were asking for Rs 62 per share, but after emergence of JioFibre and debt burden of the Goel’s, they settled for less.

Dish TV is likely to become the main brand under which consolidated DTH operations would be housed post-merger

Dish tv to be the main brand?

Its due to the subscriber base of dish tv d2h.

Airtel should promote their own way because dish tv has lost its old charm in the industry....
