dipayan said:So u mean you don't watch SD version then why should u pay ? Right. Ok let me explain.
In d2h base packs, do u watch all channels for example punjabi, bhojpuri ,Tamil ,telegu, Kanada, malayalam, marathi , bengali, gujrathi,oriya, rajasthan, urdu etc ? But have u ever noticed that u are still paying for those channels though u are not watching those channels. D2h has this weird policy sadly.
Similar in case of TS. If you have problem watching SD version then no problem just skip it just like you do in case of D2h. Sometime having SD feed is good as SD and HD feed shows different content.
So all dth has some weird policy and you have to bear this until we got all our channels as a-la-carte in a cheaper way.
My point is that all dth operator charge HD access fee(excess money for HD channels from the corresponding sd pack) though they don't call it as HD access fee explicitly and it is reasonable as HD require more bandwidth.

The main question & problem here is with TS HD access fee.
If TS can club all regional/other channels in a single pack then why TS cann't create a single pack for HD channels just like ADTV which will make it easy for users who are interested only in HD channels, to choose HD pack? HD channels are less in nos so having a single pack for viewers may increase HD viewers as many viewers watch HD channels even though they dont watch SD variant.
Here whats the purpose for HD access fee? Is this not a weird policy?

Allmost all DTH provider except TS have clubbed together ROI & south channels to facilitate viewers to view channels from other languages in their respective zone.
This simple bifurcation is easy to understand by all viewers & helps a lot as as generally ROI viewer would not watch South channels & vice versa.
If D2H user is paying for all ROI channels they get then TS users are paying much higher to view only 2 regional packs.
Do you mean to say that every other DTH provider has this weird policy & only TS has good policy of allowing only 2 regional packs to viewers?

If you can understand that TS has some weird policy then why experts from TS cann't understand this? What is the purpose of this creepiness?

If all other DTH operators dont charge HD access fee or dont call it as HD access fee then why only TS is charging HD access fee? Why TS cann't create simple packs to make it easy for customers to choose instead of creating complication called HD Access Fee?
Why to create trickery called HD Access Fee which forces viewers to go for higher packs if they want more HD channels?
The fact is HD Access Hee is the innovation of experts in TS & this is clever way of deceiving people to compel them to choose higher packs & incease ARPU. It seems TS has become succeesful in this & able to increase ARPU by employing such unscrupulous ways.
