customer affordability also counts.

Purchasing power is limited in India as compare to other modern countries.

Don't compare currency of other countries with india.
You know better than me why china made goods is cheap in comparision to usmade goods.

@pinku bro
what can we do if cricket schedule clashes with european football ?

They will show in star cricket & hd.Usually european footaball mathes are played in weekends.
But it is cheating to launch a new channel for showing hindi cricket feed on
star sports.

Hindi feed is not simply Hindi dubbing. They need a whole bunch of commentators (and pay them separately) to provide live Hindi Feed.

Also European Football has become really popular in India over the past few years and they are not always on weekends. For example, EPL matches are played on weekdays as well. Also Formula 1 season will begin in a few days. So Star TV wants to cash in and show the Live matches/ sports for which they have already bought the rights. This is good for the diverse Sports lovers community in India.

However, I agree that it will be hard for DTHs to carry so many sports channels considering the price & space factor and also eventually the customers will have to pay even more and that will make their lives difficult.

We don't care if they start telecasting in regional languages.But why we should pay for same thing in different channels?:shy
We see hindi commentators during "pavilion se".We pay for watching live sports not the commentataors or highlights.:no

Yes bro, I agree with you and even I dont want to pay for Hindi feed but there are a lot of people (specially in rural areas) who would prefer to have Hindi commentary rather than an English one...so that is what I told in my previous post, requirements for Sports fans are diverse in India.

Their intention is to shift some live events to that channel.So that people will subscibe it only for 2-3 match in weekends and rest 5days 24*7 highlights.:angry

I also want to watch other sports.But they show according to their own wish.
Hope they willn't do these things with this channel.
