85-90% customers of any dth are sd users.
So they must have to add sd channel.
If you don't like,then don't watch.

DishHD said:Adding SD channels in 2013 is like we are living in 1990's Tv world, don't know why Every DTH just wants to add Useless SD channels in this modern Era. Wise some educated and qualified person comes to Indian DTH business and show this jerks how to run a modern Tv viewing world like which you find in USA, Europe and East Asian Countries.
shawl_who said:- There are only abt 30 HD channels running in Indian mkt.
- No. of languages spoken in US ( or individual countries in Europe) and
India are very different. Where, 95 % of population the U.S speak only English and Spanish, In India... we are having abt 30 different languages.
Regional languages have also to be catered to. Thats why SD channels.
- Compare HOTBIRD and SES7 (Indian DTH).
Each Hotbird satellite is having almost 4 times the capacity of Indian sat., but carrying the same no. of channels... ie: abt 300 odd channels on both HOTBIRD and SES7.
The problem is capacity, thats why HD channels are not being preferred.
But very soon, with new sats. launching for each of the Indian DTH ops., we'll soon see a lot more HD channels. :k
DishHD said:Then why did they Launched HD Setbox and Service in India Just to make their Customers Fool and force them to pay that much money for the service which they cannot provide to their customers for which they are paying for :huh :u

@Shawl we are not in the year 2005 or 2006 when it was like launching a HD channel was like launching a Aircraft to Moon bcoz at the time H264 video codec which compress the Video was very expensive and cost to launch a Hd channel was soo high and even just HD 720p content was very limited and now a days i and you can also download and use H264 MP4 video codec for free and all they need to do is just convert their signals to Hd bcoz now a days every thing is Shot with a full Hd 1080p camera and even our smart phones can shoot in full hd 1080p. So full hd content is every where all they need to do is just convert their channels signal to Hd. And its not a rocket science to do.
Sadiq said:It is not Dish TV's or any DTH's fault. Number of HD channels available in India is very less in comparison with the number SD channels available in India. DTH players should cater to customers from all region and all genre.
As already mentioned in one of the earlier post in this thread, people using HD TV and willing to spend for HD services are very less. Most of the regional customer (for ex: Malayalam, Kannada) are not having any HD channels in their language. So, they will prefer SD channels only.
Also, there are customers want to see sports in HD or Hindi movies in HD or English movies in HD or some other genre in HD. But the % of these customers are less comparing with the SD customers.
Again, DTH players should cater all of their customers. If they are adding only HD channels, they will loose customers and so get loss and so cannot maintain their services and so cannot offer the channels to the customers (even only HD customers) so they need to close the DTH business so you cannot demand any HD channel anymore...
