Mr. Isrshad Tata Sky has 36 Mhz TP's while Videocon d2h has 54 Mhz TP's so each TP can hold 50 percent more channels plus Videocon dh has further added new technology which can hold even more channels on each TP. Don't overestimate Tata Sky, Videocon d2h is if not ahead but at par with them interms of technology

first of all I'm not overestimating tata sky nor I'm a ts user.l'm an ADTV user. Infact I was just joking in a way how ts is squeezing there tps to some how create space and add channels. So please develop a bit of sense of humor.

With evolving technologie any thing is possible. They can accommodate more and more channels on a single tp but one way or the other it will effect the quality.

"The price of the channels has also not been finalised. Star Sports HD1 and HD2 are priced Rs 119.90 and Rs 141.80 respectively. It must be noted here that the HD channels don’t run ads."
Is it true.......?

STAR chooses perfect timing to launch these channels they knows every DTH will add these channels and will get the opportunity to hike the prices of HD Access Fee and HD Add Ons resp. Also its a World Cup time so no one wants rift in this time but at other hand dishtv might be virtually ready to put their conditions on. Now STAR knows dishtv selling HD Add Ons in less price offering more the competitor they any how wants to pressurize dishtv on addition of these 2 craps so that automatically HD Add On prices will be increase and they get the platform of their arch rival.

Now pressure on dishtv to either break or take. Because if they don't take STAR SPORTS will moved to legal battle and ask them remove the remaining one and definitely it will impact negatively on dishtv and if they take it then the well settled HD Add Ons will be screwed and they might adopt FOX concept of HD Access Fee

Star is really screwing the viewers aanend launching more sports channels that would be demanded by people who even wont watch the channel. According to me, sports channels should be made ala carte.

 

[DashMajor]

Then it would be more costly deal then current scheme

 

[Sanjeev]

[Devesh]

There does not seem to be any news from Star reg these channels with just about 3 days to go for Feb 1.

Plus they have been advertising thw WC to be telecast on SS1, 3, HD1.

Is our speculation just that?
