@Balaji G is Asianet doing misleading with jiostar name ?

You are still confusing, I am taking about the registered names and you are taking about the website. Both are different. I already told my statement clearly. Let's stop here.
Jio star is a website that publishes all the information where as the registered broadcaster is STAR INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED so far. In future SIPL may be withdrawn and taken over by jio , thats upto them. I am only concern about the current situation. The migration may be in progress from SIPL to JIO but it is not fully completed as per the list of broadcaster available from TRAI.

DTH fans can save 413/- (350+gst), if they have/buy airtel fiber/airfiber+ott+dth plan @ 699+gst.

The merged entity is Officially Star India Pvt Ltd, hence the RIO is of Star, which includes, and would in the coming RIO's, Colors channels as well, JioStar is the same as DisneyStar, the controlling brand (group in corporates), As they say, Star India Pvt. Ltd. Is now controlled by Reliance Industries, Jio branding signifies that.

I doubt if airtel can either increase price or it will reduce the DTH channel cap under the same tariff.

It's a discount for pay channels (Rs.273)+ncf(Rs.77), exclusive for black/ fiber+ott+dth combo plan customers.

They were in a hurry to announce a merger & kick out employees. Now its 2 months passed, apart from some minimal changes, they still lags to formulate the new company and its website properly.

Star Sports bought ESPN's stake in ESS, ESPN didn't immediately rebrand to Star Sports/Fox Sports, ZEE bought Ten sports, it didn't rebrand immediately to Ten1,2,3, Sony bought Ten Sports network from Zee, it didn't immediately rebrand to Sony Ten

JioStar has announced the completion of merger, legally, on a compliance perspective, the changes would happen gradually, they've started with content sharing, RIO, whatever rebranding (if any), would happen gradually.
Nothing visual happens on the day of announcement of merger, only corporate structure takes effect, rest all will gradually follow
