when videocon d2h started HD services as part of HD DVR-4611 n HD STB2011 launches done by owner VD & AK CEO...they promised soon they will have 50+ HDs & 3 3D channels to their kitty in next six months(till June 2012)... and that too HD GLobe & Platinum HD pack(440/-per month old price)....
what d2h HD customers received is Empty HISTORY...words-promises were eaten...they couldn't manage to add even all existing Asli HD channels in India...till now...
At start all HDs-Hindi,Movie,Sports,Informative n HollywoodEng channels were provided-coming under above listed pack....No Single HD add on was there....NO EXTRA PRICE was there..
HBO group started new tradmark-era in HD DTH industry by launching 2 HBO HDs premiums as ADD on and that too at higher rate (69/- 1st and 99/- now)...Thus every broad caster started following same path...SWP HD,Romedy now+ are examples...
adfree is mere bseless tagline only to promote these seperate addons not provided under any pack...
it was resposible for increaing every HD base package prices...4Sun HD additions in d2h are live examples....new packs entry..
----Zee-Ten group was also higly responsible for this as thet set the trademark for n number of SD ADD ons...Ten Cricket,Ten HD,
Zee Khana Khazana,Zee Q-83/-huge price,TenGolf-200/- are some of the examples....
This has provided fuel to broadcasters for bringing this HD ADD ON theory in practical..and looting customers....Again this output is acted as I/P to most of DTHs to make money by adding these ADDON theory separately to base packs....agn this has automatically given path to increasing the base package prices or introduction of new packages at higher costs....
Who is HLPLESS in this case HD customers...
