This list was collected During Nov 2016 so channels listings might have changed. Arasu cable users please update this list.

When i first used this cable, i was so happy to have this many channels on local cable and regretted to have missed such a huge list of channels all these times in Chennai. Hope Chennai soon gets some relief.

RE: Arasu Cable Analogue & DAS Channel List.

Arasu Cable bouquet of channels and subscription rate set to rise.
--

300 channels to be beamed once the digital platform is ready.


The monthly subscription bill and the number of channels beamed by Arasu Cable are set to go up in the next few months with the Centre granting the Digital Addressable System (DAS) licence for the Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation Ltd (TACTV) last week.

TACTV is working on a proposal to be submitted to the government and to receive the Chief Minister’s nod. This includes procuring set top boxes (STBs) and revising the monthly pricing and adding new channels to its bouquet.

At present, the cable corporation provides its channels on analogue signals. This will change with the receipt of the DAS licence and all channels will now have to be given on the digital platform which requires a STB. TACTV is working out a revenue sharing model with the cable operators.


Competitive price:

The cable corporation is keen to price its cable service competitively to ensure it doesn’t lose subscribers. “We will ensure it is priced well... We are looking at offering about 300 channels at a competitive price,” a senior official in TACTV told The Hindu.

Going by the AIADMK’s election manifesto, the set top boxes are set to be given free to subscribers but a final call will be taken by the Chief Minister.

TACTV has a bouquet of 146 pay channels but due to the constraints on the analogue platform, has not been able to provide all the channels.

Once the digital platform is ready, all these channels will be offered.

“There are about 25 ‘must carry’ channels like DD’s many channels and there are more than 100 Free To Air channels,” the official said.

Local operators owe more than ₹4 crore to Arasu Cable

Distribution of set-top boxes to households likely to be hit

Subscribers of Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable Television (TACTV) will be able to access the digital signal transmission facility only after their local cable television service provider clears the backlog that it owes to the Corporation.

Enquiries reveal that in nine taluks coming under the TACTV Kancheepuram District Unit, the subscription amount due from the 1,109 local cable television operators (LCO) had crossed ₹4 crore.

The default period ranges from 10 months to 48 months, and even more in some cases. Now, with the Union Broadcasting Ministry granting Digital Addressable System (DAS) licence to TACTV, the Corporation had stepped up its overdue collection drive to meet the expenditure involved in the purchase of set-top boxes (STB), sources pointed out.

A total of 2,04,554 households has subscribed for TACTV connections through the 1,109 LCOs. As far as the distribution of STBs is concerned, it has been proposed to provide the STBs only to those subscribers whose LCO(s) had cleared the backlog [in payment].

Payment deadline

The LOCs have been instructed to remit 50% of the overdue they owe to the Corporation by April 30 and the remaining by May 15, failing which their link to TACTV would be disconnected, sources added.

The operators have also been advised to remit monthly subscription amount on or before the 15th day of the calendar month from the coming month.

Good Arasu cable started process for Digitization.
Due to current TN political scenario , i thought arasu won't go for digitization in near future.

I was always sure and was expecting for the DAS license to be given as they had CAS license and also was started around 2007 (during CAS times and not DAS) but only if they takeover Chennai we can be sure of their motives else they simply might be working towards DAS outside Chennai as usual.

Right from the beginning they never were interested in Chennai so i thought they had some understanding between MSO's and equally shared the areas of service.

Lets wait and see.
