Last post in this thread on may 28. This thread is also locked down?

Indeed coz NTO 2.0 for Broadcasters is also on Lock Down

I mean 1 as in quantity not 1Sports ch

Expect lot of channels to shut down when NTO 2.0 comes. Some might be letting channels survive as they would have to reduce bouqet prices and there is no sign as to when Bombay HC judgement will come.

NTO is not to blame, all getting closed bcoz of flawed strategy on various fronts. They can close ch and let old bouquet continue or i think price revision is allowed.

There can also b a combined effort to shut chs and build pressure on authorities/ govt. to scrap NTO as all their previous tactics failed.

Few days back i had explained why eng gec were able to survive in pre nto era but same won't work now, plz read that Bhai

Yes price revision is allowed which TV18, Zee, Star, Discovery, and Sony have done. But, none have forced existing RIOs to be replaced with newer ones. Their websites only say that any deals with DPOs would only be on the basis of new RIOs.

Not that one bro. Those price reductions are probably mandatory, as per regulations as shut downs have impacted existing bouquets.

I meant the price hike one which was notified in January. If you check the new Sony RIO which was released in January (amended in May), the bouquet prices are still the same although 5 channels have shut down since March. They haven't made any change to those, but only reduced existing bouquet prices.

Recently amended one.

yes bhai they cannot introduce new bouquet till court verdict is out. Really hope NTO 2.0 comes into effect soon. In one way i m happy too bcoz unwanted chs with limited or repetitive old content shutting down. Such a lost opportunity for broadcasters... They could have come with innovative plans to attract audience but they r just sticking by old ways

There is no case in SC. Case pending at different HCs.
