Even these English SD channels doesn't come for free if people can spend Rs. 400 PM to watch these English channels and not yet even bought LCD TV or don't wants to upgrade in HD then surely its a mistake of us.

The slot, ‘FX Torrents’, will air shows including ‘Homeland’ season 5, ‘Dr. Who’ season 9, ‘Empire’ season 2 and ‘The Affair’ season 2. Incidentally, following the success of back-to-back binge format that the company experimented with ‘Star World Binge’, FX also launched ‘FX Top Rated’ on 29 August, where viewers can watch shows back to back. These include shows like ‘Madmen’ (season 7), ‘Louie’ (S5), ‘Last Man on Earth’ (S1), ‘Homeland’ (S4), ‘Doctor Who’ (S8) and ‘Wayward Pines’, ‘Sons of Anarchy’, ‘American Horror Story’ and more.
Star India is also ready to launch the high-definition feed of the channel by the third week of September. “Within the next three weeks, we will launch FX HD across all operators. That’s where we will take FX edge to the next level as a lot of these shows are visual delights because of the effects. So by the third week of September, we will launch FX HD,” Vaz said. TelevisionPost.com had reported earlier that the company was planning to launch FX HD by July 2015. However, the plans got delayed by two months.
While Star World is for family viewing, FX is for a group of audience that specifically wants cult and critically acclaimed shows. Said Vaz, “We saw a big and growing audience that wants cult and critically acclaimed shows. This audience has more enhanced taste and is much more evolved from the regular core English viewer. They consume shows that are more evolved and layered, shows typically airing on American cable. FX is a dedicated channel catering to this audience.”
