Got Retention offer from TATA SKY

one -- they got you for one year, and they will modify your pack and you have no option but to stay with them.

If all DPO will charge same rate for packs why should i change my service provider ?

Actually, you are paying only 350 or so per connection because of the multi-TV connection. So your case is tight. You might get the LDP on one STB and not on the other.

I can see that you paid 500 rupees per month. So you might still get practically all the channels I think. TS is likely to absorb the loss on the NCF.

Thats upto TRAI to define what existing packs are and if they can include LDP given to customers between 29th Dec 18 to 31st Jan 19 into existing packs

It's absolute nonsense to offer LDP to customers now. TRAI had given the 1 month time to let the consumers know about these options and let them exercise their choice. The new rules are already in effect. Offering LDPs now instead of bringing the customers under new regime is purely a gimmick by TS and any other DPO doing it.

I don't think prices will be uniform. They can play around with the NCF. Other differences include support for packs. TS may not support certain packs from broadcasters, and you will have to pay a-la carte?

I will go to any extent to save my LDP on primary and Multi TV.

You know that that a particular DTH provider is waiting for the cash trucks to arrive from Star, Sony etc before announcing support for their packs, right? what if the cash trucks don't arrive? it will play hardball, no support for packs. All a-la carte. Who loses?

 

[goodlord]

You can turn it off. That way, they won't be able to deactivate it

I will go to any extent to save my LDP on primary and Multi TV.

This thread is becoming funny as hell carry on!

 

[goodlord]

I sympathise with you. Basically, they are using you guys as captive audience so that they can negotiate with broadcasters and play hardball

By law, All the broadcaster bouquets must be offered, provided all the channels in the respective bouquet are available on the platform.
