Ur 1st pt is correct. &Xplor needs to have proper distribution or best would have been if they would have continued airing offbeat stuff on &pictures HD or revamped it to &Xplor whereby it would have presence all over. Launching &Xplor separately required operators to renew RIO which many won't do bcoz of limited appeal channel has. Regarding Z Cinema HD it is serving bollywood audience quite well, infact i had put forward request to their channel head for making it bollywood driven channel after it became simulcast of SD feed starting Jan 2019, i had cited that TRAI has allowed clubbing both feeds in 1 bouquet if content is different and thankfully it yielded positive outcome. What is needed is Z Bollywood HD and have retro , 90s stuff there while Z Cinema HD can cater to latest post 2005 content
