Discussion Good News? No NCF on FTA channels if any pay channel is selected

[balugudidiot]

So if we select 1SD pay channel Now Total Cost - 130+SDchPrice+GST...Its Not a Great News..Bcoz No one needs More than 75slots(Pay+FTA)generally..if any body needs more..it vl b useful.

Bro speak clear so all can understand.
Most of the time one liner is not enough

Basically fta chs are outside of ncf quota. Ncf is applicable on DD+pay chs

 

[Nitin Dhamija]

i select two fta channels but pack cost increased by one rupee.so nothing is free

Good now one can get all fta chs of dishtv without any cost if he has pay ch. It seems similar to Sun dth

Essel Group and it's partner network are giving FTA channels without NCF. Imo it is a brilliant strategy as they get to make good amount of carriage fee from FTA broadcasters.

Under TRAI tariff order if a ch gets 20% penetration of DPO's total subscribers then that ch will not pay any carriage fee

Then I don't get the SITI cable's strategy of forcing users to subscribe for FTA channels without NCF.

• The NCF being charged by Dish TV is mentioned in the below table:

Mandatory DD channels	Pay channels (SD)	NCF payable by Subscriber (Rs.) (taxes extra)
25	Up to 75	130
25	76 to 100	150
25	101 to 125	170
25	>125	190

• In case any subscriber wants to avail only Free to Air (FTA) channel, the NCF will be Rs. 130 plus taxes.
• No NCF on FTA channels if any pay channels selected
  For the purpose of calculation of no. of pay channels (to identify the NCF payable) 1 HD pay channel shall be calculated as 2 SD pay channels.

But they can waive off NCF ? Why they are playing like this ?

why cannot they ?

 

[Maveric]

why cannot they ?

Indeed they can !!
TV is a kind of necessity and addiction.
But in long run it going to harm them.
