I don't think so bro.. ideally it Should work within 15-20 days of launch..

Everything is already planned we were saying that what will happen and this news came.. Tata sky is a big company they know everything moving to hevc will cost them millions of rupees loss as they had already moved to mpeg4 in past.

Certainly they have plans to change over to HEVC system, that's why they started supplying HEVC enabled STBs now

Every dth will have that plan to convert to hevc but it will take more time. I don,t think they will force all customers to opt for hevc hd stb for next three years. So currentily they surely need new transponders

According to Arianespace rule one needs to book launch slot 4 months before actual launch of satellite and that's why ISRO has booked 3 slots for their 3 satellite
