They're not moving to GSAT 10 its proved from CAG report.
No point to move on GSAT 10 if they do this then future will be dark as ts need to operate with only 12 tp minimum next 10 yrs as no satellite schedule to launch that direction and dos not allow any foreign sat in its co ordinate 83

Here is another article which gives the point of view of the CEO himself, he is still stating that we are moving to MPEG4 to create bandwidth ''while we wait for additional capacity' (which they will say till i have grand kids) and spending Rs. 500 Crore but he has again skipped the issue as to when will he complete the MPEG4 Migration as his previous deadline of June-July 2014 has long passed and its still not done. I still suspect that CEO does not have intention to increase bandwidth as tat will force him to add new channels.
CAG hauls up DoS on DTH satellite capacity management | Indian Television Dot Com

Following is an eye-opener from the news report.

"CAG also stated that the prices of transponders from foreign satellites were increased by 5 to 33 per cent over one to six year period, while INSAT users paid the same charge for over six to 10 years. When the DoS did decide to raise prices by 15 per cent, it was never carried out."

That means TS enjoyed pricing advantage as compared to other DTH for years.
When the cost of migration to mpeg4 & moving to other foreign sat is taken into account, that pricing advantage seems to be disappearing.
Now I think Nagpal must be worried man & regretting.......

As far as Isro/DoS is concerned all responsible persons should be fired & put behind bars just like govt acted in the case of Devas corp deal.

TS obviously enjoying the prices no doubt. Low TPs Prices, High Subscription Charge, Less channels which obviously increases the revenues too.

TS also do bargains with customers!!!
I was totally shocked and amazed when i called TS care for removing "Actve Music" addon. When i told him to remove, he first argued with this packs benefits and some blah blah.. But when i seriously ordered him to remove it completely despite having so called features, he reduced Actve Music addon pack price from rs. 49 to rs 24 only specially for me!!!!
I was shocked by that cause no other DTH do these type of cheap things for preventing users from unsubscribing and addons.!!
this shows TS's real face ...they are looting people completely by Overpricing.

Entire GSAT 10 will be wasted if Tata Sky didn't go for it. So, why not they keep GSAT 10 and go with foreign satellite for additional space ?
