Details explained in this order is
The second big impact of the new rules is the prohibition of the HD Access Fee.
Under the new rules, cable and DTH companies can charge money under only two headers — basic subscription and pay-channel charges.
The basic subscription charge has been stipulated at a maximum of Rs 130 per month, which enables you to buy 100 standard or 50 HD channels. If you need more channels, the operator can charge you a maximum of Rs 20 for every 25 standard channels per month. If it’s for HD channels, it is Rs 20 for every 12 HD channels.
For example, if you want to watch a total of 40 HD channels and 20 SD channels, you have to pay Rs 104 (40*2.60) as capacity charge for the HD channels and Rs 26 (20*1.30) as capacity charge for the standard channels. In addition, you also have to give pay channel costs which will depend on the channels. Going by market rates, chances are that these charges will come to around Rs 280 for the HD channels and Rs 15 for SD channels. Thus, the total will come to Rs 425.
At present, subscribing to all required packs to get all the channels that the subscriber wants costs between Rs 500-700 per month. So, many subscribers choose to let go of some channels and watch the packs suggested by the operator, which cost only Rs 425-550 per month.
The problem of bundling is more acute on platforms like Tata Sky, which charges something known as ‘HD Access Fee’ to watch HD content. In case of Tata Sky, the HD Access fee is Rs 175 per month on top of the pack charges.
Under the new scheme, all HD Access charges become illegal as they are neither capacity charges nor pay-channel charges.
