I remember all of what i have posted and u can see what i wrote....i stand by each word of it.....delays have happened due to NTO 2.0 (amended regulations) getting implemented after a long wait which was extremely necessary for channels like MTV HD, Vh1 HD, MTV Beats HD and some other channels to be added.... I have already explained reasoning for the same earlier as airtel cannot violate the slab (channel placement order) for which they had signed for in RIO agreement (at earlier point) with various broadcasters , if u were properly going through / understanding what i stated in my posts from last many months then u would have asked same question again. You can use search bar available at top right corner, type "mtv beats hd RIO slab order" and put my name in member section to get access to post where i had explained this point in detail
Addition of other Channels which were not dependent on above factor / reason contunued to happen on airtel digital tv platform.
Now that RIO agreement has been signed,,new transponders have been activated so after LCN Realignment channel addition process is likely to start soon . All such pending channels will be added.
Airtel Digital TV may as well have installed new encoders to optimize bandwidth usage on transponders and even install new C Band dishes to downlink new channels from certain satellites. Maintenance Activities which continued for a very long time at regular intervals would have involved many tasks which normal customers would not be aware of or get to know, i believe they have upgraded lot on infrastructure / technical front and we will see many innovations + improvements happening in near future which shall enhance overall user experience
Many other changes / things may as well be rolled out for customers.
