Discussion How much are you willing to pay for channels?

For High definition cost is more I think
Same thing with zee talkies SD and HD

If this is so then why Sony SD HD etc have same price... This is called random pricing...

Flagship channels will always be priced ₹22 for both SD and HD. Non-flagship channels may have a lower price for the SD version than the HD one.

Zee Talkies price is ₹2 and Zee Talkies HD Price is ₹19 but here program is different. Zee talkies airs old movies, HD version airs new movies so it's upon you which channel you want to watch.

This looks part of strategy so that the HD customer should not go for SD channel finding it less price and should not kill HD channels. Most of the sports channels are priced like that. Also operators and broadcasters should not face a loss with people not subscribing HD channels. This is my view there may be other reasons too.

Bad strategy than. HD bouquets just don't cost ₹20 - ₹30 more than it's SD variant. In most cases big broadcasters are charging atleast the double the amount than of SD bouquet. Except for the English GECs. I avoid going for most HD bouquet. Mind you that all channels I buy is in HD except for news channels and Sony Pal. I never go for any SD channel. It makes no sense paying over ₹100. ₹60 - ₹70 is reasonable. HD bouquets mostly exhaust the 200 slots. Than we are required to pay extra ₹20 for additional channel slots.

True. We all can buy a HD channel in Rs1 as we can't eat it but can see good food cooking similarly I subscribed WION only because they show genuine news.
