Important Direct-to-home players accuse cable operators of jamming signals

[IndianMascot]

If direct-to-home (DTH) operators are to believed, monsoon may not be the only reason for poor signal complaints across the city.

DTH operators have complained to the police, as well as state and central authorities, that "some elements were disrupting their signals by illegally installing jammers". But local cable operators, who seem to have been indirectly blamed, termed the complaint a ploy.

In a letter submitted to the police commissioner, the DTH Operators Association of India claimed that several subscribers in Versova, Yari Road, Lokhandawala and surrounding areas in Andheri reported frequent signal failure during the FIFA world cup matches. "Most of the disturbances were from 8.45pm to 4am between July 4 and 13," said the letter. The association also provided evidence, such as photographs of jammers and frequency observations. "The matter is serious as the use of jammers is recurring in the city after it was detected first in 2008 and then in 2012," said the letter, a copy of which is with TOI.

again the jammer saga continues.

I doubt whether cable operators still do this. 5 years back, our cable operator used to provide some channels from Sun Direct connection where we could clearly see Sun Direct logo on the channel

This isn't piracy bro. It's jammers issue. Lco use jammers to disrupt DTH signals so that people get frustrated with DTH and incline towards cable.

 

[DashMajor]

I think MSOs are also behind such saga only LCO can't do such thing.

 

[IndianMascot]

Yeah. Last time also a big jammer was recovered from a overhead water tank in Versova area only. And again it she same area where jammers are being used.

Why only Tata Sky? This isn't a cable area. It's DTH thing and everyone is suffering.
