Source: Set top boxes free, do not pay operators: Arasu cable - The Times of India

--

Please note: This advisory only applies if your LCO is registered under Arasu and you are currently using Arasu analogue. This advisory may not control LCO's who are currently with other private MSO's. Since most LCO's in Chennai are currently connected with other private MSO's, its unclear how Arasu be able to serve Chennai subscribers.

TN advisory: LCO licences may be cancelled if they bully Arasu subs into buying STBs

Submitted by ITV Production on Mon, 10/02/2017 - 08:45

MUMBAI: A Tamil Nadu state advisory has informed subscribers of Arasu Cable not to pay money to the local cable operators (LCOs) for set-top boxes (STBs) which are actually being provided to all for free.

Arasu Cable, as per a state government statement, is the only state-owned undertaking in the country to offer free STBs combined with internet services and digital cable TV, and a three-year warranty.

Indiantelevision.com had reported that Arasu Cable (TACTV), which had early in September, claimed to have gone digital, was on 25 September asked to “confirm that you have already switched off analogue signals and are carrying only digital encrypted signals on your cable TV network.” In a letter to TACTV, sent by the ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB), the multi-system operator (MSO) was asked to reply within 10 days of issuance of the letter, “failing which your registration is likely to be suspended/revoked.”

The state advisory, meantime, now has also cautioned subscribers of Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation (TACTV) against buying the STB from private dealers, the Times of India reported. If the LCOs were found to be bullying subscribers into paying for STBs, their licence could be cancelled, the state government has warned.

The advisory has urged subscribers to report cases where LCOs had asked them to buy STBs from private dealers through the Arasu cable helpline.

The state government had, a month ago, begun distribution of free STBs among Arasu subscribers. Chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami had launched the service through the government-owned enterprise after inaugurating MPEG-4 upgraded control room for digital signal transmission.

Arasu's approximately 70 lakh subscribers would have access to around 180 channels in digital mode. There will be four packages with monthly subscription between Rs 125 and Rs 275 with option of both free and paid channels.

According to an administration release, complaints have surfaced that the local cable operators were collecting money claiming that the set top box came with a cost. Also, some cable operators were alleged to be forcing customers into purchasing private set top box.
