Breaking News Channels will going to remove from Base Pack Soon

[SUNIEL]

How many customer knows, how we charged for specific channel. As a dth user We dont know how dth pays to broadcaster for channels price. Dish tv giving channels on request basis but broadcaster want to give bundle of channels in one pack. So broadcaster want to convey that if operator co-operate with us then we are ready to give channels for low price. So whenever dth gives only option of ala cart meanse not support to broadcaster. then

ya no problem, here is democracy to share what you want, i have experience of on request channels very well. Its very pathetic when we pay whole amount and in return we get only half channels[as compare to other dth]. Why dish tv not return our price of that channel if they not charged by broadcaster. Again second thing is, many channels are popular which are available only on ala cart or on request but people dont know how to activate for ex. Colors is good channels and almost in all dth its present in lower pack then why not in dish tv? I dont defame to dish tv but they create situation like that so we are not benefiting this. I would like to say if dth industry goes the way of dish tv then dth cant sustain in market[earlier dish tv was made appeal to all dth operator to take this on request route to make only money and money, dont think about customer, what they want?.

Read this whole thing you said Broadcaster is always willing to cooperate and if Service Provider want some wish to fulfill they will do:

As the spat between content aggregator IndiaCast UTV and direct-to-home service provider Dish TV continues, the former has made it clear that paying carriage fees is not an option. Dish TV on the other hand insists that what it is asking for is legitimate fees for extra services provided by it to carry channels from the IndiaCast bouquet.

Anuj Gandhi, group CEO, IndiaCast asserts, “Carriage fee is a phenomena that came up in the era of analogue television. At that time, there was a problem of bandwidth and thus operators charged a carriage and placement fee to broadcasters. Now with digitisation, that problem is not there. However slowly, but surely, carriage fees are coming down in the cable digital space as well. Paying carriage fees to DTHproviders will mean taking two steps back for the industry. I do not feel that if we go off their platform, we will be much affected.”

Dish TV and IndiaCast UTV had a reference interconnect offer agreement till 31 December 2013. Under this agreement, which is mandated by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, the DTH operator has to carry the channels from the aggregator on an ala-carte basis without any carriage fee. In return, the operator will pay the aggregator content cost only for the channels that the customers have subscribed to and not on a bouquet basis.

RC Venkatesh, CEO, Dish TV says, “We are not charging carriage for standard conditions. All we are saying is that if they want a particular placement or want to be included in a specific pack, then they will have to pay us extra. Their channels are available on our platform on Ala-carte basis even now. We are open to negotiations of deals as well. If we are not able to, then we shall take their channels on RIO basis. It suits my business model also (to have them on Ala-carte basis).”

Gaurav Gandhi, group COO, IndiaCast agrees and says, “Dish’s problem is to do with a stagnant subscriber base & below par ARPU and they believe that carriage income can help them overcome this hurdle. The fact is that Dish has a miniscule contribution to the overall ratings which is now apparent because inspite of all disruptions they have caused to our channels, our ratings are not impacted at all. Where is the question of paying them any carriage?”

Because of Indiacast Chavanni, Atthanni kind of ETV channels is now available @ Rs. 10 PM also UTV channels is available @ Rs. 10 and Rs. 15 PM now if Indiacast give carriage fee to Digital Cables for unpopular channel then why not to dishtv, dishtv asking extra money for all channel available in bouquet so why Indiacast not giving some extra because Indiacast is a dominant party they're doing their bidding's to get extra and thats reason UTV end the JV from Indiacast because they're relationship with ZEE is going underwire for unnecessary thing.
