Forget The Report Guys!

Gsat10 Is The Replacement For Insat 4A,

If Not! Which Is The Replacement Sat For Insat 4A?

Tata Sky Knew It Many Years Ago That They'll Be Limited To 12 Tps Only (May Be For Certain Period), Then Why They Didn't Show Interest To Migrate All Tps To MPeg-4 & Replace All STBs With Mpeg-4 Tech!,

As Per Govt Policies, It's Not Easy To Get Tps And Even From Foreign Satellites!

Ok Here To Our Friends,

If You/We Expecting Many Channels Additions In Tatasky And Still It's Not Fulfilled Then Move Out!

Why Still Defaming TataSky? Every DTH Have Some Plus & Minus,

Finally It's TataSky Who Should Look Into This Issue Seriously, But Looks Like They Have Lost Interest And Make Suffer Their Viewers,

As Per Govt Policies, It's Not Easy To Get Tps And Even From Foreign Satellites!

This is what CAG wants to highlight. Open sky policy is already in place and Anthrix need to fasten things in transponder allocation.

CAG hauls up DoS on DTH satellite capacity management | Indian Television Dot Com

Of the 76 transponders which DTH operators were using only 19 of these were on Indian satellites in July 2013. That number fell to seven when, in July 2013, Tata Sky surrendered its 12 transponders and migrated to a foreign satellite. The DTH service providers later did not prefer to return to INSAT due to trust deficit. Crowding of foreign satellites would affect the INSAT system and result in non availability of the strategically important slots for India. This clearly has lead to loss of opportunities for revenue generation and strategic interests.

When the audit pointed the preferential allocation to DoS, the latter held a meeting with the DTH operator which agreed to relinquish its right. However, no formal amendment was effected as of March 2014. "The fact, however, remained that DoS did not give exclusive right of first refusal to any other DTH service provider, indicating that DOS gave a preferential treatment to Tata Sky over other DTH service providers,
" states the report.

Tata Sky MD & CEO Harit Nagpal sent out a response to indiantelevision.com on the CAG report. Said he: "While the SATCOM policy allowed DTH platforms, both Indian and foreign satellites, it stated that proposals envisaging use of Indian satellites would receive preferential treatment. Tata Sky is the only Platform that stayed with DOS, while others migrated to foreign satellites. While we continue to wait for allocation of incremental capacity, we have invested over Rs 500 Cr to migrate to new compression standards to ensure carriage of channels for our customers, despite a shortage of transponders."

What he want to say, will wait for some more year? But customer will not wait if it hapoen . better ts move on other sat

 

[Deepu]

From TS perspective, they want additional TP's not replacement TP's

 

[DashMajor]

Because of TS GSAT 10 launched. I think Insat 4A still can be use as a additional SAT and their must be backup SAT planning too.

 

[Sanjeev]

But the question is when will they use another satellite

 

[DashMajor]

Only Nagpal knows this answer

 

[Sanjeev]

Only Nagpal knows this answer

Yes and he is not at all worried for TS

 

[Deepu]

Being a TS user, I really want Insat 4A Ku band TP to crash/stop working ASAP
