D2H is showing 2 menus. Why? Which one will be activated? This is a headache. The best value suggestion that they show or our selection? Because their suggestion costs lesser many times but they don't show what channels are in it.
 
My kannada gold combo costs 275
If i select aajtak which costs 75p
Total cost increases to 293
It's bug or d2h has cruel intentions
Same thing happening in other dth?

In my case, they added useless paid channel of Aaj Tak to me 2 days back though I had not selected it in my Kannada a-la-carte selections.
 
I said this in the other thread too, I'm tired of how most media(who also happen to be broadcasters) are blaming it all on TRAI.

'The top 10 TV channels in India are more expensive now – thanks to TRAI'

'DTH new rules come into effect, TV viewers slam TRAI for confusion and expensive monthly TV plans'

'New TRAI Rules For Cable And DTH Have Made TV Subscriptions More Expensive For Users'

But Is all this true? The mandate was passed in July, 2018 and was to be implemented at the end of December 2018. But broadcasters started publishing their prices only days before the deadline. Distributors made 0 effort to incorporate this mandate and seek more time, and they got time, 1 more month. February 1 became the new deadline, what happens then, chaos again not a single major player has implemented it smoothly. Do you really believe that they couldn't do it? Do you think players with so much money and years of expertise with multiple packs, multiple offers couldn't do it in 7 months? No, They want to make things difficult, they want us to go back to the expensive packs they offered. The add ons, where they can price a 20rs sports channel at 60 rs and impose a 3 month lock-in period. Even in the last few days, the distributors and broadcasters are looking for loopholes to exploit the rules.

To the broadcasters we go now, Rs.19 for both hd and sd channel? Really? Ok that's not even as bad as pricing a bouquet for less than a channel included in the bouquet(when taken as A-la-carte). Thank God there was a clause mentioning that any channel over rs.19 can't be part of bouquets, precisely why you see no channel priced over that, else god knows how ridiculous these pricing would have been.

Now don't get me wrong, TRAI could have done a better job too, they could have prevented quite a few loopholes too. But it's the greedy broadcasters and distributors that should take the major share of the blame for this chaos. Things would have been much much better had TRAI had been allowed to implement 85:100 rule, where the price of channel should not be less than 85% of it's A-la-carte price meaning broadcasters would have had to price their A-la-carte Channels reasonably low.

Money is deducted on all the day.Not sure on what basis. It routine now to select packages in morning and call cc in the evening to watch those channels. D2h is utter waste
 
Ridiculous services by D2H. Customer Care number either doesn't connect or loops around the same message "if you are looking for new tariff info/TRAI related info...." and this runs forever ! This is for sure intentional.
btw, anyone migrated already as per their actual requirements ? (advance request placed)
Also, can anyone pls give a short summary of the latest info on the implementation from D2H (we as customers are so unfortunate to be in this position despite 6 days deadline slippage ! :(
