The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) today refused to grant an injunction on Dish tv and Videocon d2h’s hurried plea against Star India. The petitioners had moved to TDSAT alleging that Star India was converting its pay channel Life OK into a free-to-air (FTA) network as Star Bharat by putting it on DD Free Dish platform without informing the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). In its defence before the court, Star India responded by saying that “we are only rebranding” and not “converting our pay channel” into FTA.

So channel won't be FTA?
Maybe channel V will come on second slot of dd free dish.

NEW DELHI: Even as it declined to stay or restrain the launch of Life OK channel as Star Bharat, the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) yesterday said the amounts paid to the distribution platform operators or DPOs will be subject to the final orders of the tribunal.

The bench, comprising TDSAT chairman Shiva Keerti Singh and members B B Srivastava and A K Bhargava, observed that the agreements between broadcaster Star India and DPOs Dish TV and Videocon d2h (both entities in the process of merging) will continue to operate and the cost being offered by the broadcaster cannot be reduced unilaterally.

While Star India was given four weeks to reply, the two DTH platforms were asked to file their counter-affidavits too. Thus, the next hearing may come up some time in October 2017.

The tribunal said if it is proved that the presence of Star Bharat on Prasar Bharati’s free to air DTH platform FreeDish is tantamount to the channel’s conversion from pay to FTA, then both Dish TV and Videocon d2h will be entitled a refund from Star.

Recently, Dish TV and Videocon d2h had moved the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) against Star India for launching Star Bharat on Freedish.

The DTH operators wanted the broadcaster to either declare it as a pay channel or a free-to-air (FTA) channel. In case the channel was being converted to FTA, then the broadcaster should give it a refund, they contended.
However, Star India clarified that Star Bharat would be a pay channel that would also be available on Freedish.

Star also argued that the pay TV platforms collect subscription fee from subscribers and therefore they are liable to pay subscription fee for the channel while Freedish does not collect any subscription fee from its subscribers.

Without granting an injunction, the tribunal said that it would see if launching the channel on Freedish amounted to making it an FTA channel. The matter is listed for October.
