Honestly speaking, no, nothing can be confirmed until the company themselves make it official.
Rumors can either be right or wrong and the company can also change their plan right before the execution.
You have to understand, we guys aren't making the news here. We are sharing what we are hearing from our sources.
There can't be a confirmation date until the company themselves do announcement or send PRs on it.
I know the same members will praise us if the rumors become true and they will also not hesitate to bash us if it goes wrong. No offense but you guys should be thankful to us for sharing these insider information publicly beforehand that keeps all the DTH enthusiasts excitement level high.
On a fun note, YouTube channels have been picking these updates from us without asking a single question, that's because they highly trust our news. Imagine how discouraging it will be when our own members have doubts on the esteemed members news!
but most importantly is what is coming to us, so called LOYAL /existing subscriber, who changes viewing from doordharshan antena-> cable->DTH-.4k->fireTV->OTT->beyond.
for most of new branding is focused on acquiring new customer base.
