MUMBAI: Issuing of public notices by companies, be it broadcasters or distribution platform (DTH operator or MSO), is getting common. In a fresh spat, a public notice has been issued by Star India which informs its viewers that they will not be able to watch the network’s channels on Hathway Cable and Datacom.

The notice published in leading newspapers of Delhi NCR, the broadcaster has said that the consumers in the DAS notified areas of Delhi, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Agra will not get the signals of the Star India channels. “The signals are likely to be disconnected after three weeks from today by Star India to Hathway New Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh,” states the notice.

The reasons for deactivation as cited in the notice are: non-signing of subscription agreement; non-submission of subscriber report and non-payment of outstanding subscription fees.

With this, all the DAS areas serviced by Hathway and its franchisees will get affected.

This is usual notice according to trai regulation. I am sure Hathway will pay due & sign new agreement.

 

[Anirudha]

Yes like Hathway did with STAR SPORTS :lol
Hence its proved that only STAR / FIC having problem with everyone and they will looking for more fight because every night STAR's legal team think "Have I Make It Large" :rofl

 

[Sarkar]

If u are paying huge money to BCCI then u have to make sure that u get higher price after all they are not here for charity.

 

[Anirudha]

If they don't give Rs. 1 Lakh each per match to those Crorepati Cricketers as a Prize money in IPL by the stupid name of "Kanna Keep Calm moment award" so they can save plenty and without fighting without blackmailing they can provide channels in a very modest price to service providers.

 

[Sarkar]

Why do u think that it's star who is the reason behind all this after all they are just following trai order? Trai instruct broadcaster to publish removal notice 3 weeks before. So star has done it.

According to news Star is only demanding dues which hathway hasn't paid and subscriber number. They also inform that hath way hasn't sign renewal agreement. So what's wrong in it ?
