Old Rs 1179 non stop offer for three years in Dish TV is continuing(Rs1149 modified to Rs1179 due to 18% GST) but one new offer Rs 590(Rs500 plus 18% GST) unique recharge, Rs 99 pack for one year instead of 3 years to attract more customers you can see this offer in link DTH(Direct To Home) Service Provider India, HD/SD Set Top Box –DishTV go down and can see in our offers links
Dish TV connection. However, so far, this required them to pay at least Rs 99 per month plus tax to prevent the operator from locking their boxes.
However, even as it targets to maintain its Hindi rural subscribers, there is a strong possibility that this move could impact Dish TV’s revenue and bottom line.
There are also two points of uncertainty with Dish TV’s new offer — tariff regulation announced by the sector regulator and the possibility of Doordarshan encrypting its channels.
Starting about two years ago, Doordarshan has been saying that it wants to stop unencrypted transmission on its DTH service, though it has not followed through yet.
Once the transmission is encrypted, all users will have to buy new set-top-boxes from agents appointed by Doordarshan. Given that most of the Free Dish customers have very low purchasing power, this is likely to be a major disruption for the service’s existing customer base.
However, if it does encrypt the feed, that would also put Dish TV’s new Non-Stop offer under a cloud as Dish TV relies on the open feed of DD Free Dish to serve many of its free-to-air channels. After encryption, Dish TV users will not be able to see Free Dish channels on their existing set-top-boxes.
The sector regulator has also announced that all operators must migrate to a new tariff regime after six months in which they will have to clearly separate basic charges and pay-tv charges. Given that Dish TV does not include pay channels in its Non Stop pack.
