Any idea on which satellite this channel is launching? Also, I dont think this channel will be FTA as none of TV18 channels are FTA

As mostly ETV channels are availble on Insat 4 A, may be this one too started soon from Insat 4 a.

there is already a ETV 3 Test Signal channel in encrypted mode in Insat 4A. May be that is for this channel only
