General Discussion about Airtel Digital TV

[dino29]

Me too on the same pack till October 2019, however the biggest question is about the Al-a-carte channels. Do we need to pay NCF if we add HD channels on A-la-carte basis or not. If we need to pay NCF, then we better go for a new pack.

Network Capacity Fee and MRP/DRP r completely different things brother. NCF is what we r paying to operators for cost incurred by them for renting bandwidth while price of a channel is what broadcaster and operator gets for giving us channels, it is shared in ratio of 80:20 between these two.

TRAI has kept initial slab price limit of Rs. 130 so that MSO/LCO get a basic revenue and given them choice to charge less than this too if they wish so. Remember FTA channels pay to operators for being on their platform and carriage fee rules have been tightened in new regime , this is the monthly charges equivalent of how pay channel subscription model works while in both bandwidth charges r additionally taken care of. Even in current system we were paying NCF but these classifications were not presented publicly by any platform.

I know that brother, When did I say they are same? You didn't answer my question. Let me explain what I'm asking.

Right now I'm on a Long term pack, and per TRAI's guidelines I have a choice to continue using that pack till it expires. The expiration of the pack is in Oct-2019. However, it contains only SD channels. So, if I need any HD channel, say in Mar-2019, do I need to pay only MRP of that channel or MRP+NCF? If it's MRP+NCF, how much would be the NCF? Would it be 130 or 20 or some other charge? Hope this is clear.

Okay I need some help with something!!!

Recently I created my own pack in Airtel Digital TV selfcare website and accidentally clicked confirm after reviewing it. I want to cancel it. How do I do it?

Airtel CC saying I can only cancel it on 1st Feb 2019. But I'm afraid the plan will be automatically activated by then.
