Yes Dish TV, Tata Sky , Airtel has most inactive customers while in Videocon d2h most customers are active as its an affordable DTH. Many people can't afford high package charges of DTH and shift to Cable TV later

"As per available churn data, Dish TV had managed to maintain churn at 0.7 per cent per month during the quarter, which is the same as the trailing quarter.
On the other hand, Airtel Digital TV’s monthly churn rate had jumped to 1.1 per cent from 0.6 per cent in the previous quarter."
may be due to costly packs & ever increasing pack price......

Ninad bro, still Dish TV is the costliest DTH specially for SD channels. Rs. 499 is their highest package price and out of the channels they give in this and other packages ,about 70 of them are DD Free Dish chs for which they don't have to spend a penny but still they charge the customers for it. Also they keep taking channels off the package. For viewing all HD channels one needs to pay Rs. 200 extra and still no guarantee if they block some channels

How dishtv able to take signals of Free Dish for free didn't you complain about dishtv in TRAI if other DTH using C Band then dish should do the same. Nothing should be free.
