Well this is what we call unfortunate as right in TN capital Chennai which is supposed to be a Tier one DAS City we have strong support for LCO's, MSO's and Analogue and when someone raises their voice for Analogue to end some strong LCO & MSO supporters would ask why should Analogue stop and why do we care about DAS quality, if we worry about quality then why not move to DTH etc.
Exactly. Even in the so called worlds richest nation USA when they moved to DAS they provided the public with coupons to forcibly move towards DAS. But here we have people who not only care about DAS conversion but ridicule those who demands for the same.
Yes, Chennai was infact the first city in INDIA to move to STB via CAS system but when STB was supplied under DAS conversion, DAS quality was pathetic and also several channels were missing while Analogue had both quality and all channels that the general public prefer which lead to STB users moving back to Analogue. Also Analogue is an 100% tax free income as noone has neither the count nor control over it which is seen as a lottery by the LCO's.
This has a reached a point where the state government has formally complained to the Chennai COP to arrest those LCO's who still transmit on Analogue and seize the equipment's as state sponsored DAS implementation has hit a huge roadblock with Chennai LCO's still transmitting on Analogue so the people are not moving towards DAS.
