Breaking Tata Sky applying new TRAI tariff order in website

[dud3rulz]

It seems people who strictly watch regional content are doomed.

Brother go to operator or concerned broadcaster website and chose appropriate bouquet, there r multiple versions available to chose from. How can i select for ur preference?

See i went through tatasky website and i found no boquet that has all regional hd channels in one. So i have to go for either individual broadcasters boquet or a la carte. Ala carte is the cheaper option yet 100 extra than previously what i used to pay.

For providing more than 100 SD FTA channels, the distributors can charge NCF of Rs.20 pm taxes (i.e. Rs.23 pm incl. of taxes) for every 25 additional SD FTA channels. ,

xxxxxx : That is not my question,
xxxxxx : In Tatasky website, the Sun Telugu Basic HD bouquet has deleted 1 channel (Gemini Music HD) from the original broadcaster bouquet, but did not reduce the corresponding price of that channel. Why?,
Tharuni: I will let you know.,
xxxxxx : ok,
Tharuni: The Sun Telugu package is designed from broadcaster end.,
Tharuni: The included channels are depended on broadcaster.,
xxxxxx : Yes. But Tata Sky removed 1 channel (Gemini Music HD) from it,

What braindead.man.i am going to get rs 50 benefit monthly after implementation. So i am.supporting the rule. Those who watch only needed channels. That are useful. If they use some brain to select bouquets. Will surely get benefit. Why are you choosing tatasky recomended packs. If you value money please don,t go.for it.

In no way trai rule is profitable...which channels and bouquets you have selected?

This move is stupid, young people are already moving to Netflix and Prime since they can't stand ads and want to consume content at their convenience. Trai should've made sure Dth survives by making it even more affordable but now what? are they encouraging piracy? They don't think of old retired people who just want to watch some movies /serials?

Any Idea why showing Duplicate Packs as Not Selected Any Duplicate Channel ?(Selected Channels except DD)

 

[dud3rulz]

My concern is, how can poor people benefit? U are already charging 153 as ncf. Thats what their budget is per month! So they have to pay atleast 100- 150 more to get paid regional content which amounts to 250 or 300.

Same was the case before. Also those who cannot afford chose Free Dish and will continue to do so.

they are already in the fta + dd pack. You only need to select those free channels that are not in dd+fta pack.

So? Earlier whichever channels u were getting in Dhamaal Mix pack for Rs. 320 which included all basic channels, how much do u have to pay for it now? Just let me know in a proper manner

Currently I am subscribed to dhamal pack 220 n I am ahppy with I don't want dhamal mix pack channels if I just put reg channels then it goes to 240 nearly for just 5 to 6 channels

TRAI should also make a rule that no pay channels should air ads and ads are permitted only on FTA channels. These premium-looting pay channels have a win-win situation as they get revenue both from ads and subscribers. If this rule of banning ads on pay channels come into existence, every subscriber will be benefited.
