Bad Bews for SUN DTH customers as they are removing Fox Traveller (LCN 547), Fx (LCN 456), Baby TV (LCN 536) from their dth platform within a week or two. These channels were a part of world pack, so SUN DTH has also stopped selling of its world pack. Very bad news indeed. Fox Traveller was the only lifestyle channel SUN DTH had.

Source: Customer Care. They are not activating these channels as they say these channels would be removed soon. Then again, if you visit the OEA Customer Self Care page there you will see in the add on section that these three channels no longer exists as an add on or alacarte. Even the world pack is no longer there.

A Request to all SUN DTH customers: Please voice your protest against these and force SUN DTH to add new popular channels against these.

FX and FOX TRAVELLER channels going to remove tomorrow and add STAR SPORTS 2 and FOX SPORTS Channels. After removing FOX TRAVELLER, there is no life style and food channels only sports channels.

I am clearing all of your doubts. Basically Fox Traveller, FX & Baby TV is going to be removed thats for sure 100%. But the fact is that LCN is still present. Why ? This is beacuse there are some customers who had an annual subscription to these channels. If these channels suddenly dropped then they might voice a protest and even shift to some other dths. This will be a huge loss for SUN DIRECT and which they are not ready to incur right at this moment. So the moment majority of customer's subscription tenure ends they will drop all these channels even the LCNS. As per as new channel additions Star Sports 2 which is recently added is a replacement of one of these channels. Replacement of the other two channels not quite sure right at this moment. But I am sure it will take place some day. Moreover, Spark CBS which has been removed recently is also due to be replaced very soon. Off Topic, finally, Ten Sports and Ten Cricket are not removing from SUN DIRECT.

There is no concern about annual pack of few customers.
