As of now, Star India cannot pull the plugs off its feed to multi-system operator (MSO) SitiCable that takes cable channels to 12 lakh homes in Kolkata and another 23 lakh homes in rest of the state. At the same time, SitiCable has to immediately pay Rs 5 crore to Star India and another Rs 5 crore within a fortnight.
MSO ordered to shell out Rs 10 crore - Times of India
While the order will allow a few thousand SitiCable homes that have begun subscribing Star channels separately to continue enjoying their daily diet of Bengali and Hindi soap on Star Jalsha and Star Plus, lakhs of homes who view channels in package format will continue to miss out Star channels as SitiCable has removed them from its bouquet from the end of December 2017 following the dispute.
