Do you think the LCN change can be done only after the satellite migration to GSAT 10/31 is completed? Experts please reply. What is the connection between the two?
Though I am not at all "Expert" to reply on this but could not resist Myself to share some Info & thoughts on these 2 issues.
Issue - 1 LCN Rearrangements :-
LCN rearrangements further delayed from Mid of this Week to Next Month due Some Riftness between Broadcasters.
In South there are fight between Zee & Sun for Early LCN capturing while on Rest of India again there are Major issues between Zee & Star. So until these issues & Ego fight clears - LCN rearrangements will be on hold. Though TS Backend Team are trying their Level Best to get the issues resolved and You never know any Major Updates can come on the Board at anytime from Now.
Issue - 2 GSat 31 Migration :-
After ISROs confirmation of Activation of Gsat 31 - Now all the Legal Paper Work would have to be completed between ISRO & TS. All concerned Authority have kept the Whole Procedure very secret and 2 Officials of ISRO commented that They are not in mood to Open up as they were busy with ChandraYaan 2.
Now TS also keeping it very Secret whether they have started Testing GSat 31 Tps or not.
But with the Back end Activities took place on Wednesday Night on 26.09.19 and From 3 am sudden Super Rise in Insat 4A Signals - Many Sat Trackers are assuming that TS is very silently & Secretly Testing Some Major things & thus Activated GSat 31.
(These Facts are Shared by a Reputated TS Wholesale Dealer/Distributor in Kolkata).
Now according to Me - both LCN Arrangements & GSat 31 Migration are on the Top Priority List of TS. And in accordance to attract Broadcasters - TS may (I repeat May) at first Renovate all its Tps of both GSat 10/31 and then finalise all the LCN to reallocate and attract the Broadcasters.
Again....."Wait & Watch Formula" to be applied on our Mind now.
