Breaking Shagun Tv and Superhit Tv channels added by Adtv

236 slot kept empty, this indicates that it is already booked by a channel. Many other channels in pipeline to be added, airtel has emerged as favourite platform for all broadcasters operating across segments /genres.

Also Euro News, ABC Australia, France24, CTGN, Arirang TV, Channel NewsAsia and other international channels might get added soon.

Indiacast HD channels most likely stuck bcoz of LCN incentive issue, they need to placed as per sequence prescribed by broadcaster and currently airtel cannot do so bcoz of shortage of slots or as it would require massive rearrangement which they intend to do once 4 digit lcn is enabled

Especially true for Punjabi channels. Airtel has 6 exclusive Punjabi channels not including services. PTunes, PPlus, Balle Balle, 3 PTC channels.

Also, Airtel 'hijacked' &xplor HD and Zee Classic. When do you think TS will add &xplor HD? :huh: Give your expert opinion.

TS has every international channel except CGTN (though Al Jazeera was removed for some time, but it is back). Right now Arirang, Sky News, Euronews and TRT World are not available in India. Hope they come soon.

They are all music channels. LCN 481 and 483 are free for MTV HD+ and MTV Beats HD. 508 is free for VH1 HD.

I have seen Airtel's own VOD channel 'Superhit' when I was using ADTV...

Now, this is not a VOD channel na?
 
Superhit TV seems to be a really nice FTA movie channel, unlike other in this segment who show few average titles.... This one is telecasting more popular ones like Hamari Bahu Alka, Afsana Pyar Ka which are usually shown on established pay channels.

Also noticed certain movies like Gangster, Awarapan, Jo Bole So Nihaal, Badshah, Mela, Ghatak, Dhadkan, and few others rest with both FTA and pay channels. This is again complex web where rights went to either sides first and later picked up by other. Only point to note is that pay channels get simultaneous access (no exclusivity) while FTA ones usually have to wait for agreement period with pay channels to expire to get hands on the movie (if covered under exclusive deal)

Hi Jolly bhai, 1stly sorry for such late response. Have been somewhat busy these past days hence was unable to take out time for replying.

Well in my opinion Tata Sky has not added &Xplor HD bcoz they wanted Zee to approach them, give carriage fee and launch its channel on its platform. As i have explained that in my understanding Tata Sky has had huge/significant impact on revenue post new tariff order rollout, previously they signed long term deals with broadcasters at huge discounts and charge hefty amount from us thus giving healthy margins. Now same does not hold true which is why they r looking for revenue boosting alternatives.

Euro News is available in India, it is distributed by CatVision India pvt. ltd. ... Same company which is partner of France 24 and TV5Monde Asie in India. Arirang TV , CTGN r also operational, KBS World gues had licence cancelled sometime back. Still there r chs like Australia Plus, Channel NewsAsia , France 24 which r surely coming post channel rearranged exercise by airtel.

U r right that LCN 481, 483 , 508 r free for HD music channels from Indicast and infact they r at desired sequence required by broadcasters for operators to be eligible for incentives but same does not hold true for History TV18 and FYI TV18 which r currently placed quite low in infotainment genre hence adding HD feed won't match the required criteria . Please note all these r part of Colors Wala Value Plus HD or other such variants hence when agreement is signed all channels have to meet particular slab requirement for incentives. Anyways do not worry this will again happen after airtel changes LCN position of all channels in near future. Till then Indicast-Airtel have mutually agreed to give SD counterpart of missing HD channels in respective bouquets as a special temporary case. One does not have to worry about there being some negotiations related problems as all things r finalised and waiting to be effective soon
