Maybe Discovery want to launch GEC channels under ''Jeet'' brand. Hope this time Jeet Prime will showing good Hindi serial & Shows.

They are just going to rebrand Discovery Jeet as Jeet Prime.

You missed the most demanded channels, MTV Beats HD & MTV HD.
Deal for SM HD is already done & I don't think they'll add DD's HD channels or at least DD1 HD as of now.

What is SM HD???

 

[rahul999]

I think now all channels are DRB DBR right.(typing mistake)
So Most channels are activated at weekends only.Like Movies releasing in Weekends.

not addition, i mean to say many people activate channels on weekends,special program will be telecast-ed on weekends only.
all other week days same routine repeated programs, only weekends some entertaining special programs.
I watch Most GEC channels on weekends only.

Dear all,

I would like to know whether ADTV has the Infinity Pack (Yearly basis) after the Trai rule?
If not then, what are the alternate pack to get all the channels (HD+SD) (same as Infinity Pack) - Yearly basis?

Kindly advise.

No, those stand cancelled after 31st Jan., when. I checked with sales representative of airtel they are also not sure and it will be stopped. Not only this all multiple connections benefits will also be lost and treated as seperate...

I did some quick comparison before and after trai rules. I'm user of Airtel DTH with multiple connections.
Existing plan:

1. Had opted for infinity plan which gives all SDHDFTA chennels @700/month. For advance subscription for 1 yr they offered 30% disc, so instead 8.4K i was paying somewhere 5.9k.
2. I had 3 secondary connections and all will have same full package and each extra connection was charged at 275/month. For 3 additional connections for 1 yr, it was costing me 9.9 / yr.
3. So overall for full 500+ channels (SDHDFTA) for all 4 connections i was payinh 15.8k / yr.

Now post new rule:

1. If we just calculate if i want few main channels like sony, zee, star, colors, History, Sab, Max, Nick, there prices are 19 rs. Like wise if i choose just 15 channels which cost 19rs it will be 336 rs (icl taxes) + 150 Network Carrying cost NCC
2. Under 150 NCC you are allowed to have only 100 channels combination of FTA+Paid Chennels.
3. Out of this 100 channels capacity 25 Doordarshan channels are compulsory and 75 left to play around combination of FTA and PC.
4. Obviously having Full HD 4K TVs we prefer to opt HD channels. Then 1 HD channel = 2 SD channel capacity. So based on my bare minimum selection of 15 reduces capacity to 30 channels in min base fare capacity.
5. It means i have 25 DD + 30 Paid(in act it is 15 only) + 45 left which i have to choose from unwanted rejected FTA channals which no one wants even if they are free.
6. Finally with this bare minimum 85 channels (only 15 good ones are my choice out of 85 channels) i have to pay 486 rs (336+150) / month.
7. Therefore if i apply this logic for my existing connections, for 12 months with 4 connections i have to pay 23,328 rs.
8. Which is approx 8k extra for just 15 HD channels vs 40+ HD channels and lot more which i was enjoying.

Just imagine how much i have to pay if i opt for complete HD package and channels to suit different family members choices...
It is complete day light cheating and all sony, zee, star, times will be minting money and consumer will suffer like hell.
