RE: General Discussion & Channel Request on Videocon D2H
Just spoke with the concerned person who looks after distribution of NGC HD channels on the availability of the 5 HD channels on d2h ie Life, People, Wild, Music and Baby TV.
Was informed that they have been speaking with d2h for the addition of Fox Life and NGC Wild and we can expect their addition soon, especially within a timeframe of 15-20 days for atleast one out of the two channels mentioned. He also expects the remaining 3 channels to be added within a 2-3 month period and definitely no later than this calendar year.
Space issue is the reason cited by the 3 DTH I.e. D2h, Airtel and TS he mentioned and that their main prerogative is to add those HD channels which are from gec, sports, movies first and lastly from the lifestyle category. But given the arpu growth is mainly coming from HD channels now, all DTH will sooner or later focus on adding these HD channels also.
So fingers crossed. Let's hope the addition happens soon.
