It is obvious that who used to watch many premium chanels have to shell out much much more now. Who used to watch ony FTA chanels, they can settle in within 130-150 but rest all others have to pay more. When they used to make contract for bouquet, they used to negotiate a price for the whole bunch of chanels at a rate, which is reasonable to both the parties. Now they don't have that privilege any more. So that benefit will not come down to customer. Now even if you only select the HD chanels and required SD channels only, it will cost near about same of the current price or sometimes even more.
