That's the best way to punish Tata Sky than to waste time and money in filing complaints against them. Finally Nagpal and everyone's true color are revealed how they are looting we Indians by giving false information.

Sanjeev Another way to bash him is twitter. But don't do any thing out of control.

If we see tata sky point of view, tata sky is right.
Isro is just ready to provide replacement of INSAT 4A by gsat 10 as insat 4A end its life anytime. Means isro is not providing extra capacity, even unable to provide in future assurance too. That's why ts decision to move on foreign satellite is correct.


Isro is blamed by CAG for
1. Why give first preference to tata sky in 2004-05 when there were other DTH in queue
2. If tata sky decline to take capacity from Gsat 10, why not offer to other?
3. Why Gsat 8 is still idle? Where India facing space crunch
Even when DoS was able to make available the
capacity on the GSAT-8, which was launched after
a three-year delay, the capacity remained idle till it
was used for other purposes, the report said.
Later, the GSAT-10 satellite was launched to
provide capacity for Tata Sky on Insat4A, but the
company declined the offer. DoS did not allocate
the available capacity to any other provider for fear
of litigation.
Currently, 76 transponders are used by Indian DTH
providers, but only 19 are local. Even Tata Sky
migrated to a foreign provider after using 12 Indian
transponders initially.
The delays by DoS has also led to a shortage of
space above the country for satellites as the empty
orbital space has been occupied by more efficient
foreign satellite providers. Given the high cost of
migrating from one satellite to another, it is
unlikely DTH providers will move back to an India
satellite, the CAG said in its report.
The CAG also said DoS gave undue advantage to
Tata Sky. “Tata Sky was fifth in order of preference
for allocation of satellite capacity. However, Tata
Sky was granted precedence over Doordarshan and
allocate capacity on Insat4A,” the report said.
“Transponder lease agreement entered with Tata
Sky gave certain benefits which were not offered to
any of the other DTH providers.”
A DTH provider needs a minimum of five Ku band
transponders. Indian DTH providers have the
option of using transponders from Indian satellites
as well as foreign providers, according to the
government’s open sky policy. The policy says
DoS has to acquire and provide necessary foreign
transponder capacity for a short term till such time
as domestic capacity becomes available.

GSAT 10 is declined just because it was delayed and replacement? TS can approach ISRO for further TP allocation when Gsat 10 was supposed to be handed over.

Every DTH have register their TPs and allocation. If GSAT 10 is ready to use and if TS is not wants to use then its a TS decision. Why dishtv, d2h, ADTV, Sun and RDTV will shift to GSAT 10 and invest money unnecessary.

And if TS not wants to use Indian Satellite then why they didn't moved to decade ago rather keep crying on space and migrating our network to MPEG 4.

Coz that time they were bound by an agreement with ISRO that they can't hire foreign satellite
