DD can easily buy 3 to 4 TP's on SES-8 for the increase of channels. Even Dish TV will be happy to give such support to DD because it dosen't matter for Dish TV if any free to air channel run from DD Network and also available for Dish TV subscribers.
Let Dishtv give support to DD for carrying FTA channels & then DD can consider allowing these channels on Dishtv platform even if channels are encrypted...
ya bro, but then Isro will have to increase their TP offerings...They are more thinking of outer space & universe than whats going on in India. They should concentrate more on GSLV/GSAT than mars orbiter.
