Good News TRAI wins the tariff order case against Star in Supreme Court

[shubhr]

Ok But I have one query what if I select some particular channels and broadcaster bouquets today and tomorrow I need to add more channels on it. Can I do that?

Because I have seen that lock-in period is 30 days so is it applicable for deletion of channel only. OR our selection will be freeze for alteration for 30 days? Please guide.

In Tatasky there's lock in of 1 day only. I added one pack yesterday and removed it today.

Cable TV OPERATORS would stop broadcasting paid channels and stick to airing only 100 free-to-air channels.
Cable TV operators remain firm on plan to protest new tariff order

I think it was rate per pay channel on la carte basis

Better to watch FTA news channels and music channels only , dont go for pay channels. Even better go to DD FTA channels which is free of cost

Huge difference in alacarte channel price and bouquet price is only only due to the abolishment of 15% discount cap.so it has impact on subscription plan of individuals

Out of about 876 channels, 336 are paid ones and the rest are free-to-air. However, even out of the 540 free-to-air channels, only a 100 can be aired by the cable operators without charging any money from customers. Above this limit, `20 has to be charged per channel. “As a result, the NTO ensures that cable TV subscribers in the city pay around `800 - `1,000 per month for 412 channels, as opposed to the Rs 200 - Rs 250 they are paying at present for the same number of channels,” said Goud.

The above statements are totally misleading!!

By adding more channels and by reducing ncf
Ncf is depends upon dth provider whether 0 or 130 rs

Just like it happens in regular market, it will be based on how many subscribers operator has / discounts received as per penetration achieved or placement of various broadcaster bouquet or channels on their platform / NCF they wish to charge etc.

In previous regime there was too much favouritism, broadcasters offered massive discounts to few platforms and charged more from others. Operators like Tata Sky got into fixed long term deals with broadcasters at huge discounts riding on strong subscriber base and in return offered these channels to us at inflated rates thus accumulating massive profit
