GSAT 10 launch date posponed

[Greatachiever]

So till sep end, tatasky users cant get any channel additions ? Am i correct .

i feel if the satellite is launched in July'12 then tata sky will add channels only in Oct'12 in huge numbers as their CEO Harit Nagpal had promised to make the channel count to 400 and each regional channel count to 25.

if they really target this by Oct'12 then i feel tata sky will be too good as you can see regional channel each 25 means good.
