Update

Zee Action in revamp mode, since last few months they were showing few movies in a week which were not based on theme of channel and now they have stepped up momentum adding flurry of titles from diverse genres including popular ones. Let's see what happens. Good thing is that bollywood content on tv has got boost thanks to this move.

As You mentioned @dino29 Bhai........It seems
'ZEE Action' has now undergoing some internal Testing or in Verge of Revamp very Soon.
They have really keep changing their Movie Schedule daily and started Showing Movie Titles of Different Genres.

•• For Example :- Previous Week ZEEL showed 3 Movies namely "Phir Here Pheri" + "Dhadkan" + "Prem" out of their Action Genre.
•• Tomorrow 13th September ZEEL have scheduled "Mann" to telecast from 1.50 pm on Zee Action.
•• Also "Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon" & "Hum Saath Saath Hain" are Coming Very Soon on Zee Action.

So it's clearly indicates for Future Revamp and may Zee Action completely revamps into 'Zee Zabardast' very soon.

Still hope that they launch a channel for hollywood dubbed movies (slim chance as recently Disney has taken all their Sony Pictures library of Hollywood Films ). Also &Xplor SD should make way either as replacement or new addition to bouquet, similarly Zee Bollywood HD should launch inplace of &Pictures HD as it will help serve bollywood audience better.

&Xplor SD have no chance to see the Day Light as of &Xplor HD itself struggling for viewership. And one thing is to be observed that with limited Titles to offer &Xplor HD is repeating their Movie Library in every alternate Day and thus creating some Non-Interest among Subscribers.

As You say @dino29 Bhai what I feel that ZEEL should revamp &tv HD to Zee Bollywood HD which will really help them to boost TRP where as &tv SD can be converted into Zing HD which is growing Higher day by day according to Baarc Ratings.

I would really like to see Zing HD and/or Zee ETC Bollywood HD, as well as Zoom HD from Times.

Absolutely Agree with You @JollyLNB Bhai.....

We the Audiences of Indian Television desperately in Need of HD Music Channel right now.

After exit of Sony Rox HD only One Hindi HD Music Channel from Viacom 18 namely Mtv Beats HD and One English HD Music Channel namely Vh1 Hd left to entertain us.

But personally I feel that instead of HD News - HD Cookery (LF) Channels We are in Verge to have more Music & Movie Channels in the count.

We have so many Music Channels in India but No Major Big Broadcasters shown interest to Launch HD one. Approach of Times Network - ZEEL - SIPL really disappoints morely. Pen India launched MTunes HD but again dusted the Channel badly.

Instead of Launching New HD Channel (As again it will create unnecessary hastle to get added in each & every Platforms) ZEEL really can convert one of their SD Channel into new HD Music Channel and personally I feel it's better time to shut &tv Brand and convert them to Zing HD or Zee ETC HD and Zee Bollywood HD which will really give them mileage in upcoming days.

In India most of Movies and Music Albums including Film Albums are available in HD + 2K Format for Theatres so it will not be so tough for Broadcasters to launch / or revamp existent flop SD Channels into HD Music One.

Also 1 or 2 Good Shows of &tv namely "Bhabiji...." & "Happu...." can be carried or accomodate to Zee TV Evening Slots of 6 pm to 7 pm as said by @ak7777 bro.

But We desperately in Need for HD Music Channel asap.

Pen India launched MTunes HD but again dusted the Channel badly.

When MTunes HD was running, it was not owned by Pen. Only later, after it shut down, Pen acquired the MTunes brand.

Approach of Times Network - ZEEL - SIPL really disappoints morely.

Please use the word Star.

I feel it's better time to shut &tv Brand and convert them to Zing HD or Zee ETC HD and Zee Bollywood HD which will really give them mileage in upcoming days.

I think Zee Anmol Cinema should be converted into Zing HD. @dino29 bro feels that &pictures HD should be shut down and replaced by another channel (he says Zee Bollywood HD), but I do not think Zee Bollywood deserves an HD version (it is indirectly there in the form of &xplor HD) and I do not think &pictures HD should be shut down (it caters to the dubbed Hollywood audience). Instead Zee Anmol Cinema can be replaced by an HD music channel.

Rebrand MN+ to Zoom HD. Repeatition of library is not doing good for the channel. Same library will help Movies Now and MNX will get more viewers.

This should been Zee's strategy
& Pictures SD and HD - Home of latest bollywood and hollywood dubbed movies
& Xplore HD - Home of alternative cinema and short films
Zee Action - Home of Dubbed movies
Zee Classic - Home of Classic Movies
Zee Bollywood (Rebrand to Zee Classic HD) - Home of Classic Movies to HD
Zee Anmol Cinema - Home of B graded movies
Zee Cinema SD and HD - Home of movies of all genre except B grade movies

Actually problem is with operators not the broadcasters.Sony Rox HD was touted to be the premium and operators were not willing to accept music channels at a cost.examples Sony Rox HD was not able to find many takers.same is the case with other music channels which were launched like Ilove.Pen is unable to put Mtunes+ across operators. At first they were to launch 4 music channels in which they were able to launch only one now without proper distribution.Other examples being houseful action when as movies channel it got placed on Dishtv later removed ,now showing great punjabi songs but available only on OTT.Thats the reason music channels are a neglected lot and nobody wants to get their hands burnt.Only showbox was the exception in the recent times who negotiated and got placed on most of the operators.

People are hooked to their old 9XM and Masti. Why can these broadcasters launch HD feed when they have a good fanbase?

Sony Rox name itself was wrong for a Hindi language music channel.

Now with TRAI it becomes more complicated. The price of Rs 1( which now also reduced) becomes a huge for a operator like Airtel who cannot add popular MTV Beats HD now.Same was the case with Sony Rox HD and hence the issues. 9XM and Masti are SD and pay carriage fees and with their already established reputation advertising brings the moolah.
