Suppose if TS use GSAT 10 now, Their life time is 9 years remining only. But remember 12tps are not sufficient, even with all mpeg4.
Now they will order for more tps. For that ISRO has to launch another Satellite in 83*E. Till 2017, there is no plan to launch new satellite in this orbit. So ISRO has to get permission from govt. and need nearly 800 cr for this. It will take another 2 years to build this satellite and launch.
So atleast by 2018 they will launch it. So another three years.At that time, GSAT-10 life would be remained with another 6 years only.Even ISRO would launch new satellite with 12 Tp only.So within another 3 to 4 years, TS would require another satellite.So problem would remain.
For suppose if ISRO will launch new satellite with 24 TP in 83*E, no chance for this.Even their 54 Tp project is in pending..So how can TS wolud ger "more back ups"

But why do you think that tata sky will not use asiasat 8 and will use GSAT 10sudheep said:4satellites are proposed to launch by isro during the period 2015-16 in diffrent slots(not in 83degE).but its flexible for isro to put one of these satellites in 83deg slot with spcl permission from dept of space if its demanding.
