I am. getting Sony Ten 1, Ten 3, Sony Six channels when I asked the Customer care to activate it...Received sms that SET, SONY MAX, SONY SAB are also activated..

Are you guys getting these channels?
 
Update: A reliable yet undisclosable source says two or three more Sony channels will be added on 'one-by-one' basis soon. Re-addition of all remaining channels will happen in December before the TRAI tariff implementation.

Let them be Sony ESPN SD and HD and Sony Ten 2 SD. Those are the need of the hour. Entertainment channels can wait.
 
So, maximum in a month all Sony Channels will be back.

All i will say is that subscribers should not fall in this trap, these are just rumors being spread to retain existing base & avoid major churn. Real reason is not TRAI rules, Tata Sky wants to keep a healthy financial cushion to take on Jio in coming months. They aren't willing to give broadcasters a fair rise just to save on costs. This would have been fair if earlier too they charged affordable amount from us & subscribers would have happily supported them in this cause but charging max from us & carriage channels or advetisers & then making us suffer to suit personal interest is absolutely wrong

Extending the story, X was driving that car on behalf of Y and Y used to pay X an amount of 600 out of 1000. 3 Years later Y started charging 2000 from A,B and C. But adamant not to give X more than 600 according to what they negotiated 3 years back. So one day X said enough is enough I am out of it, I can not continue in same amount.

Then Y started telling A,B and C that X was asking for more money so we have stopped dealing with him. OMG !!! :eek:

If X being a premium brand is overcharhing, taking advantage and exploiting C then company should blame X & force X to mend way else arrange for a new option & take care of rights of C. Also if X is unwilling to help C then he is indirectly damaging his business, if C reaches company & does productive work then there will be more with him to continue services of X & provide steady revenue

Similarly if company pays any third party to get a work done then that agency or individual can't pocket all the money without delivering on promise saying that amount is non refundable & due to unreasonable demand put forward by certain department we can only complete 30% work

Let's stop XYZ & come to fact, in this 3 years time TS added over 350+ channels & removed around 100 (some of the removals were due to shutdown) so net addition is 250. In 2015 TS highest pack costs 450 now 560 so around 25-30% hike by introducing 250 channels on platform. whereas Sony asking a Massive 112.5% of hike in 3 years. So please not just blame TS Sony is equally or say more at fault by opening such a big mouth.

PS: I'm Not supporting TS by removing Sony channels bcoz as a customer I too missing some of the channels I watch :hands:
