News Govt to allocate 46 transponders

[Deepu]

Do you mean to say TS now distribute HEVC STBs to all users across India & take back allotted mpeg4 STBs............?
Mpeg4 migration cost is estimated at 1000 crs...........So how much money HEVC migartion would require.........?

At this moment HEVC is not cost effective and will no be used much except for 4K

Also, one need to invest billions to acquire transponder space. So, i don't think Tata Sky will take double hit of investing so much of amount in one shot both in GSAT-10 and Aisasat. They will find out some way to create more space on GSAT-10 only and we may saw channel additions too.

If TS has any plans of moving to AS7/8, by now deal would have been done (It may not be officially revealed)

That all might be all future plans bro. Still replacing or providing upgrade offer for STBs will be much much cheaper than acquiring transponders.

yeah.........I think TS would have to use some sort of Time Machine for this..............

As per my assumption 12 TPs are enough for next 5 years and if any secret plan worked out then we might see replacement of Insat 4A too.

As a subscriber we just need to chill & watch the channels which are currently coming Rest TS will take care
