Yes... Anyways I am not confident that MPEG4 encryption will happen in April 2016. I would be happy even if they complete by next year end

There is no proper planning on DD's MPEG4 encryption, I am still not understand what Free Dish will achieve by encrypting signals ?

They will get to know the subscriber base of DD Free Dish otherwise they will never come to know how many subscribers DD Free Dish is having.

I know this is bad move from Dish TV perspective

If tats the case then why DD wants to keeps on providing MPEG 2 channels FTA ? If 10 out 1 person have DD Free Dish STB and 9 will enjoy the FTA ones then total no. subscriber of DD will be 1 and those 9 will gone to which category ?

DD users will be very less in that way and also from channel point of view why the one will go towards encryption way when paid channels are now inclined towards FTA mode for TRP.

DD Free Dish can be specific regarding signal sharing with dishtv, allocated specific TPs to dish.
