If they do a deal with FIC and Star, they can add 6 HD channels at one go.
Currently the break up of the 12 HD channels which are not on their platform are only five providers -
FIC - 5 channels (NGC Wild, NGC People, NGC Music, Fox Life, Baby TV)
Discovery - 2 channels (Animal Planet, TLC)
HBO - 2 channels (HBO Hits, HBO Defined) - The distribution will also move to Star post July 2015.
Star - 1 channel (Star Sports HD4)
Sony - 1 channel (AXN)
Zee - 1 channel (&TV)
So it's all a question of putting your money where your mouth is and getting back to no.1 dth provider of HD channels which they were a year or so back.
