Go for Good News - Sentamiz Annual Recharge of Rs.1299 (100 FTA+42 Pay Tv)

Not suitable for me isn't it?
As iam from karnataka

 

[sivavs]

Is Sentamiz pack applicable for all????

 

[barryallen]

Yes. If any channel is added over and above your calculation, the cost of channel+ tax and NCF+tax for the next slab also be paid since the channel count exceeded 100. Right?

Exactly bro, you have to buy next NCF slab of 25 channels which is 20₹ +tax for any additional channels above 100, and also pay the price of additional pay channels+tax

yes.. count will be - 1 HD = 2 SD channels
means

What does this mean?
As it mentioned in TRAI FAQ...

11. What if annual subscription charges are paid by a subscriber in advance? In case a subscriber has availed any scheme with advance charges paid for future lock-in period like an annual plan the distributor shall continue to provide services for such committed period without any increase in price / charges and without altering the other terms of subscription. The distributors cannot make any changes that entails any disadvantage to the subscriber in such cases. However, if the subscriber wants to switch over to a new package after 1st February, 2019 then the proportional balance amount of existing package as on the date of switch over may be adjusted for the new package prices after 1st February, 2019.

Trai did not put a minimum NCF rule, so DTHs exploiting the maximum NCF rule.

Is Airtel providing base pack at 99 plus tax under new rule?

Are DTH allowed to not offer a broadcaster bouquet if one or more channels are not there on their platform?

They aren't and it was cleared in one of the threads. They aren't allowed to modify either. They should add the channels or just provide it on A-la-Carte basis. Before even i thought DPO's will just reduce package costs in such cases but most of them are in the process of adding the channels that were not available before.
