“While Prasar Bharati is happy with the huge revenue through the auction of slots of DD Freedish, it is creating a problem. Both MSOs and DTH operators have to pay for a channel but on the other hand, the channels are paying huge amounts to the government. So, there is an anomaly and that is required to be handled,” TRAI chairman PD Vaghela said while speaking at FICCI Frames on Wednesday.

With the increase in affordable broadband penetration (Jio and Airtel 10 Mbps plans) and shift to OTT streaming (even on free ad-supported platform). More and more pay channels will convert to FTA (relying solely on ad revenue) to prevent fall in viewership due to cord cutting. As that happens free dish will have the upper hand over paid DTH services due to absence of NCF.
 
Lol, no. Buying compromised things are money wasted. Why should one pay for waterdowned version of things? You can watch latest movies, sports etc. on private cable/HD.

Likes of Star Sports, Set Max, History TV18 etc. will never do that. So only low viewership channels like Ishara might think like this. Big GECs will never do. Unlike in US. Cable/DTH are still affordable to masses.
