Details:
41 Ku-band and 10 C-band transponders to provide services to Central Asia, South-East Asia, India sub-continent Middle East and Mediterranean Sea

So on these 41 KU band transponders v d2h is using only 8 tps. so many tps are still there to hire on lease. so no space problem for v d2h in future also.

yes bro no space crunch till future provided d2h hires the other tps which are free now and i am sure that d2h will other ku band tps also based on their future need to add the channels.

Thanks for the details. After world cup, i will join d2h club if tata sky fail to add channels before diwali. Because tata sky dont want add channels if ts want they can move to mpeg4. The investment need is ₹1800 mn only[180 crore]

moreover this satelite is built by Mitsubishi Electric Corp Japan which is one of the best electrical and telecom co in the world.

The 41 Nos KU band tps are most powerful tps. also tripping is ruled out even if v d2h does lots of compression as it can withhold lots of power.

yeah bro i feel really sad as ts i am seeing no hope and i am also planning to move to d2h during mid of nov'12 once by ts subscriptions ends.

the daily change of launch date GSAT-10 also made it confirmed of my decision to move to d2h after ts association since Jan'07.
