Now, Next E-auction for MPEG - 4 & 2 may be after 15 April.

High Hope in MPEG -4 : As soon as upgrade and conduct mega auction to participate variety of regional channels in affordable budget.

In future News18 Gujrati also will participate after seeing the BARC rating of Gujarati News channels.

Hiiii DDD+,

As per slot addition in MPEG -4, I think take 3-4 months more for technical testing.

MPEG - 4 Existing in full flange - But take so much time lets understand or assume as per past record or method.

1. Testing TP
2. Testing Slots
3. Testing Channel's technical aspects
4. Officially Tested - Ok for respective TP & Slots.
5. Migrate or double slot for DD Channels.
6. Announcement for Slot filling by E-Auction.
7. Declare notification for closing respective TP in MPEG -2 (As per current Scenario - this step may take after 032026)
8. Active only selected TPs in MPEG - 2 for private TV Channels & Mandatory DD Channels.
9. Announcement of Encrypted channels - Aware to viewers about MPEG - 4 STB only option to continue with DDFD.
10. Encrypt channels in phase wise or All in single notification announcement.
11. Final announcement - from XX Date MPEG - 2 TP will not available, Parallelly introduce full flange of MPEG - 4 notifications & Adv./Promotion

I assume this kind of way that they will proceed may be. If they will sudden close or migrate, big impact will show in viewer ship of DDFD.

Direct Point of Talk : If PB Spent 15 Cr for Chaudhari to join DD News. Why not quick work start for DDFD road mapping for accurate value of viewers and infrastructure of driving DDFD MPEG -4 ?

There are few chances of Migration before acquisition of 2 new TPs from GSAT-15, but now the chances are too less. Because currently DD Free Dish has 8 TPs, if they are planning to convert all in MPEG-4, then the total number of slots will increase to 320 as one MPEG-4 TP can carry 40 SD Channels, and Private DTH will never accept 320 channels in DD Free Dish. They will knock doors of upper authorities and DD Free Dish also will not be able to fill that much slots with FTA channels. The value of 1 slot will decrease and that will affect their revenue badly and there will be no competition left for slot between broadcasters.

That means DD Free Dish has no plans of Migration as of now...

Sometimes I feel gov should just stop listening to private operators bias ,they are just looting people's money.
