EntMnt Xclusive One more Exclusive HD channel getting added in Dish TV

[Justin Jolly]

But one thing is sure, if they are going to add MTV Indies, then most probably all HD & SD channels from Indiacast will be restored to base packs like earlier. Now dishtv is thinking positively, this why we have seen the addition of pending Star Sports HD channels and SUN HD channels.

 

[DashMajor]

May be. But they can easily add these channels in base pack itself, if bot of them agreed to all terms and conditions. Hope they will do it. Even 40 also, this will be a good deal.

Then pack price will increase automatically.

Then pack price will increase automatically.

Why ? Previously they were providing all these channels in base pack. But with the addition of Star Sports HD channels they have increased the HD pack price by 30-50 for each old packages. So if they want really, they can add these channels without price increase. Also dishtv won't do it pretty soon, since recently they have increase the package price for all packs.

Justin Jolly I am talking about All HD add ons obviously they knows new HD channels are coming and replacing their U-HD then do you think they manage to give everything in this price now their earning of margin is decreasing which was on the high couple of months ago and years and so.

 

[Justin Jolly]

I am not talking about it getting these channels for free. Previously they were giving History HD, Colors HD & CNBC HD in 599 package. But few months before they have removed it, so instead these channels they haven't added any HD channels to Royale packs. But recently with the addition of Star Sports HD channels they have increase the price of Royale packs by Rs. 30.

I am agreeing that the cost is increasing day by day, but these channels are not premium one's. But still dishtv is providing these channels as a-la-carte with such rate even more than the premium channels.

Ohh excellent update bhaskarkilli bro

 

[XPosed]

bhaskarkilli bro , any news abt Its SD feed on dishtv ?

 

[DashMajor]

Yup Justin Jolly Bro. price tag is high because dishtv wants to hurt Indiacast.

Now addition of MTV Indies HD on dishtv means 2 things:

Either dishtv will give all 4 HD channels in the add ons just like SUN HD

Or they use the Bhramashtra by signing with Indiacast through giving some offers, problem with dishtv is Zing Digital Gujarat they knows that Indiacast offering 3 Gujarati channels and they can't launch Zing without their channels, also dishtv is pushing for Zing Andhara but ETV TELANGANA missing they know they can't sign it individually. So if dishtv signs with Indiacast means all Indiacast channels will be restore to the base pack and remaining ones will be launched in the platform but they also increase the base pack price because its their dirty game to increase the prices

Right now they removed SONY PIX from All Sports but they will add it again along with UTV Channels and increase the base pack price

 

[Justin Jolly]

Anirudha bro, what you are saying is correct. Hopes for the best.

Even if they charge 50-70 for these 4 HD channels also will be fine, because History is worthy among this. But right now dish can't justify the price of Rs. 215 for Colors, History & CNBC Prime.

 

[DashMajor]

Anirudha bro, what you are saying is correct. Hopes for the best.
.

I think first dishtv signs a good healthy deal with "One Alliance" I think this the first time in the history dishtv providing almost all sports channels in Mid Tier and All Sports channels in the Higher Packs let it continue signs with them don't effect SONY SIX and their infotainment channels and added back SONY PIX.

Then do whatever wants to do with Indiacast.
