DDF Exclusive General Discussion, News, Updates And Comparison Of Various DTH Brands

[Zeta Reticuli]

For those of u wondering why all pf a sudden many DTH operators r removing many platform / service channels since past few weeks/months....well bcoz New Updated TRAI Tariff Order Regulations mandate that count of such channels can be max 5% of the total channels available on a platform hence u would see more of service channels getting dropped in coming weeks too as old contract/ agreement period with respective content provider of such channels gets expired

d2h removed 4 service channels,
Punjabi Avtive,
Ibadat Active,
Thriller Active,
Women's Active,

Present 20 service channels available in d2h,
Let's hope in coming days 10 service channels will be removed from d2h.

Also rules state that for each platform service channel Rs.10,000 registration fee needs to be paid (i don't remember correctly but i guess it is an annual fee) and another thing is that each platform service channel can be exclusive to only one operator ... I think TRAI may bring some changes to last rule, until then i believe status quo will be maintained
