I don't think you get the point here. Star Sports Select SD and Stars sports select HD both telecast different matches sometimes. So if one subscribes to HD feed and the match is on SD what can you do?

how are they supposed to show multiple matches from premier league AND bundesliga happening at the same time? Outrage about the step-motherly treatment dished out to the i-League, sure, but EPL coverage is fine on Star.

Ques 9: Are 100 FTA channels available at Rs 130? Ans: Rs 130 is the static cost of a cable connection. Just like we paid a set bill for telephone, irrespective of the use, here consumers shall pay Rs 130 as the constant charges for TV connection. 100 channels are free with the connection. Paid channels will be charges as per their individual costs.

So there is the answer, 130 is mandatory for everyone according to this guy. What's this nonsense???

Thats not what Fastway is doing right. NCF can be paid on individual channels and Rs 130 is upper limit

Yes, then why is this guy going on national television and saying this? Fastway will also remove the option if they follow his words!

He said Rs 130 for 100 channels bro, not 1 or 10 channels. And Rs 130 is upper limit so MSO/DTH can price it below also. If ur taking less than 100 channels then u need to pay NCF for that many channels only

Bro they aired the interview
between 5-6 PM.They are updating his quotes right now.


Ques: Will TRAI have objection if the DTH company wants to reduce the minimum package than Rs 130? (Asked by a member of audience)
Ans: Rs 130 is the maximum constant charge, if they want to charge less than that then there is no objection.

Read his answer again bro. He says customer shall pay fixed amount of 130 like telephone bill, whether or not he/she uses. That's confusing everyone.

This is what it actually is bro. But by giving that answer of static charges, he created confusion. If you look at the brochure published by Siti Cable, they are already saying 130 is mandatory. His answer gives boost to their claim.
 
If Fastway is charging ₹ 0.8, NCF will be just ₹ 80 for 100 channels
but don't be happy with this, Fastway may come with Terms and conditions.
So wait and watch till 29th.
;)
