RIO MRP rates published by broadcasters

In long run its benefit for the users thats what financial experts telling , but I am not believing them

its highly and definitely going to burn our pockets for a year

How is it going to be beneficial to the users? Even if they reduce the bouquet price to half it will not benefit the users. We will still be paying more for less number of channels.

Here is small calculation:

For example Star’s all south HD premium pack is 145/- rupees now, if they reduce it to 75/- .

Zee all in one south HD which is 120/-, if they reduce to 60/-

Sony Happy India Platinum HD 90/-, if it becomes 45/-

TV18 Hindi family HD is 50/-, if they reduce to 25/-

Discovery HD pack 10/- and reduced to 5/-

Eenadu pack 29/- and reduced to 15/-

Disney universal bouquet 10/- and HD bouquet 8/- if they club them and reduce both to 10/-

Turner family HD pack 12.50 and reduced to 6/-

Sun telugu super HD 80/- and reduced to 40/-

Times HD pack 20/- and they reduce to 10/-

154 + 75 + 60 + 45+ 25 + 5 + 15 + 10 + 6 + 40 + 10 + 54(approx tax) = 499/- total.

Here also we will not get all the channels. There are many other packs. Also we will not be getting SD version of the channels.

Before in Tatasky we use to get all the channels for around 600/- rupees. Now even if you spend 3k every month you will not get all the SD and HD channels.

You din’t say it. I am just taking a point from your quote about the so called financial experts.

Disney Kids pack charged 12 rupees with 4 channels.
Disney universal pack 10 rupees Disney Kids channel+3 channels?

Disney universal pack 10 rupees Disney Kids channel+3 channels?

Yes it was discussed here during the launch of bouquets by broadcaster. It's just a trick so that customers will select the cheap bouquet & will get access to all Disney channels.
It's not a mistake.

Similarly Sony happy India pack all cost ₹31 but the first one has more channel

We also need to do some tricks with this. Universal pack is cheaper by Rs.2.7. In case if you are not exceeding channel count and stay within same NCF go with this. If you are exceeding channel count by 1 to 3 and you are interested only in kids channels alone, go with kids pack. You will save Rs.21 on additional NCF charge though pack is costlier by Rs.2.7.
