Yes they add it, in the replacement of ETV MP, ETV UP, ETV BIHAR they add SAMAY MP, SAMAY UP and BIG MAGIC BIHAR but they don't give the replacement of ETV URDU :cautious:

Then you and all should get credit for it. I remember once ADTV has given credit for such move.

what if others had did opposite such that comparing these channels that they are available in base packs on their platforms.

Usually it has been seen that all DTH operators follow each other. They all have a joint association and all DTH mutually agree and implement any major changes in packages. So, i fear others should not start something like this.

Any official statement bro regarding this ?
before dispute of indicast and dish tv. Dish tv had appeal to all dth operators to take same route for all dth for add any carriage base channel. Means no exclusivity in channels addition, if channel agree to pay carriage fee for all dth then it will get added otherwise not on any dth. Dish tv was expectin this atleast from airtel, and d2h but they denied to do same. Dish tv's point of view was that one channel pays lot of carriage fee to septicular dth to launch its channel but then other dth customer demand it so operator forced to do so and from this other operator not get same carriage fee.

This never happened. Instead because of this move by Dish TV, TRAI came into picture and disallowed all kind of JV in distribution.

but unofficially they can run this jv easily by not launching any carriage base channel only on one dth. They can give any official reason behind this and simple reason to not add carriage channel is space crunch if Suppose channel appeal in TDSAT.
