I feel the rumors hold some merit as there cannot be smoke without fire. Also D2H was one of the most aggressive DTH player in the market untill 2015. There has been a financial crunch in the over all Videocon group that was evident due to loss of mobile licence & fines imposed post 2G scam. D2H wing is in verge of break even & has lucrative valuation. More over they were focusing on increasing revenue from the customer thus multiple price increase in the package and additional of FTA channels. I am sure the deal might be in discussion, what it means for DTH industry ? Consolidation what we had earlier seen in Telecom sectors. Going forward i see Tata Sky, Dish, Airtel as national market players rest would be dominated by Digital Cable. good time to but Dish TV stocks as digital would pave new waves of entertainment in coming years
