NXT Digital will provide 500+ channels that will be common for pan India. Some LCN slots will be reserved for LCO to add their local channels, so in any state if LCO wants to add their local content they can do so. The remaining LCN channels will be common pan India.

Internet services, LCO can add that in their headend, OR, NXT Digital can themselves add from uplink centre.

Now, regarding the confusion of weather this is a DTH or Digital Cable......

TRAI classifies this as a mode of Digital cable, as it is interested in the receiving end, that is how customers get the signals. They are not interested how LCO/MSO gets the network.

If u see the basic structure of any HITS network, take NXT Digital as a example, NXT Digital is an Pan India MSO, that will use satellites to connect and broadcast their services instead of fiber optic/coaxial cable. Any LCO interested in taking its service just need to sign the agreement and set up a mini headend with a Dish (C Band). No idea abt Ku band as its only for DTH. hence this method will eradicate the menace of having multiple digital headends across the nation.

Now reliance Jio has started Digital cable services, and they will be starting digital headends across the nation, connecting to people via fiber/coaxial cables like how normal MSO do.

Irrespective which method MSO use to transmit their services to LCO, the end connection is important and In both cases the LCO connects to customers via cables, hence in both the cases this is Digital Cable.

Anyone has any idea where one can get a demo of this newly launched NXT Digital service.....
I wanted to check their 500+ channels (SD and HD)

Also what are the chances that any LCO would leave the MSO he is currently under and take NXT Digital ???
Can a LCO give both services together i.e. the MSO service and nxt digital ???

It's up to NXT to convince LCO, LCO have nothing to do whatever NXT gonna launch they just cares about their margin. Also who gonna bear the hardware cost LCO or NXT itself ??
