Discussion TRAI announced important changes in the Tariff Order

[jaiprakash]

This bouquets not help d2h customers since they don't provide all bouquets, reason they deliberately miss one of the channel in that bouquets and they omit that bouquet. Trai should ask all dth operators to give all available channels then only these broadcaster bouquets helpful..

from D2h perspective its just slave dog of Dish TV who will never ever let D2h get any benefit , but give them slow death better switch over .TRAI never looks in these specifics ,I tried with tickets at both possible consumer forum no use.

Good but it's a unnecessary process to select free channels one by one. They should have fixed the NCF amount at Rs 130 for All Free Channels... Some Cable and DTH operators didn't charge Additional NCF.

And they are actually capping 33.3 % on Bouquets..

not kiddin'

I literally watch fixed 8 channels, and 5 are for my family
rest are useless.

Most people like us are expecting variable NCF for number of channels viewing. TRAI it self showing ads with tv bills can be reduced for viewing less channels. But it fails in implementation, even after modified tariff order.

So..
→ Broadcasters need to make their new plans and submit that to DTH & Cable operators by 15th January.
→ Then DPOs need to publish those packages on their Website by January 31st.
→ And from February 1 we the users need to subscribe the new packs by 29th February.

And then from 1st march these packs will become effective!

So this means, TRAI took 3 YEARS (March 2017 to March 2020) to fully implement new plans.!!

I already see atleast two extention from from Jan 15 to Feb 15 and couple Objection from Tata sky ,Airtel since they already charge 150 or 100 on multi tv ,followed by Star ,Sun and small broadcasters like Discovery

I have further updated the 1st post, after going through the entire order. I advise all the members to read the 1st post again and post your questions if any!

TRAI (government) should think about the GST slab also. If they really have concern about the consumers, NCF and GST has to be reduced.

 

[RaviCSK]

I wish TRAI forced the broadcasters to mandatorily have, a bouquet for each genre they offer, where that bouquet contains channels of that genre.

Star are including channels from various genres in their bouquets. If someone is interested only in sports channels, then there should be sports only bouquet.

 

[RaviCSK]

It is good that TRAI has mandated that the number of bouquets offered by the broadcasters cannot be more than the number of channels they provide.

The number of bouquets offered by Star is ridiculous. It is somewhere around 220.
