Most pathetic move by Dishtv
They always do these kinds of cheap things and tries to cash every event.
We always curse DTH Operators but let me clarify one fact Mazi bro. Its never DTH who decides the package and pricing of a particular channel. Instead its the Broadcaster and its distribution unit which ask DTH and MSO to keep channel in which package.
I have learnt this when TEN Golf was launched. TEN itself wanted to keep their channel as addon. So, it wasn't added in any pack. Similar agreement has been signed by ESS channels with Airtel Digital TV and Dish TV. Hence Dish TV is bound to take this decision.
We always blame who are reachable to us, but we should now understand this fact and blame the real culprit.
