If Discovery is serious about Indian market. They need to shutdown Discovery Science, Discovery Tamil and Discovery Turbo. And introduce Discovery Science HD, DMAX and Travel channel. Food Network shows can be aired on TLC.

Discovery Turbo (Indian feed) and DMAX (Asian feed) schedules are same with the only difference being Turbo showing Teleshopping ads late night

Yes. DMAX has HD feed. Discovery Turbo doesn't. It's high time they revamp the channel.

HD feed is definitely needed for Discovery Sciences but SD feed or downloaded HD feed should continue. DMax will b fab replacement for Discovery Turbo and i full agree we need a Travel Channel but not "Travel Channel " from Discovery bouquet as it is not a paranormal show ch. Discovery should launch a Travel Channel and air various Travel/Adventure shows like it aired on earlier version of Travel & Living channel (early 2000s).
Do try sending feedback to them on twitter, Tag discovery communication India Head in it

After 5 or 6 days of bollywood films forming major part of content on Star Gold, tomorrow more dubbed south indian films added in schedule. I somehow feel saddened when i see this bcoz their bollywood catalogue has much more entertaining films than these dubbed ones and even bollywood gives more ratings. There should b separate chs for bollywood and dubbed cinema so that we can choose accordingly as per personal preference

Yes I love bollywood films,
So I selected Zee Bollywood,Sony Max2, pure bollywood movies channels,
Zee Classic not available in d2h,
Zee Anmol Cinema,Zee Action,Star gold2,Star utsav movies, also selected but these channels some times telecast south dubbed movies,

Waiting for pure bollywood movies channel from Star,
Star Gold Select is not impressive,
We want classic, & mid range movies,

Why create a separate channel for Bollywood?
They should create a separate channel for Dubbed South/Mixed movies instead, and start airing purely Bollywood content on the existing ones like it should in the first place. People who want to watch dubbed stuff can subscribe to that channel.

Sony is doing correct job,
Sony Max for South dubbed lovers
Sony Max_2 for pure Hindi movies

Finally Zee opened their eyes so they launched Zee Bollywood
Zee Cinema South dubbed
Zee Bollywood Mid range pure Hindi movies
Zee Classic pure classic movies,

What about Star ?
They don't have proper management in Hindi movies channels
They have Star Gold, Star Gold_2, Star gold Select, Star Utsav Movies 4 channels

Only needed pure Bollywood channel & pure south dubbed channel that's enough,

So basically they are airing Dubbed movies on their HD "Flagship" channels which were actually supposed to be Bollywood channels, and airing Bollywood movies on their secondary SD channels?
What about people who want to watch Bollywood movies in HD?
What I am saying is they should move to airing only Bollywood movies on their Flagship movie channels and launch separate channels for dubbed stuff.

That dubbed watching audience. Doesn't even care or even pay for HD. Trust me. They are the ones watching same movies in 240p on YouTube.

Exactly. That's what I am trying to say. Why not move those content to the secondary channels and air Bollywood on the flagship HD channels. How did Bollywood movies become a "2" for Bollywood centric channels. Forgot the last time I watched movies like Fanaa and Veer Zara in HD. Honestly, I even gave up on checking the schedule.
