MUMBAI: Star India has issued disconnection notice to direct-to-home (DTH) operator Reliance Digital TV for non-payment of licence fees. As mandated by regulation, the broadcaster has issued a public notice stating that the signals of its channels will be discontinued to Reliance Digital TV within 21 days due to non-payment of licence fees. Star broadcasts 50+ channels in eight different languages, reaching nine out of 10 C&S TV homes in India. Reliance Digital TV, which has been put on the block by its owners Reliance Communications, has a mere 2% share of the total active DTH subscribers in India as on 31 December. As per TRAI regulations, both broadcasters and distribution platform operators (DPOs) have to issue a 21-day notice before disconnecting signals to the other party.
Earlier, Star India had issued a disconnection notice to Hinduja Group-owned headend-in-the-sky (HITS) operator NXT Digital for non-payment of subscription dues. Shortly after Star’s notice, Sony Pictures Networks India had also issued disconnection to NXT Digital and its MSO sibling IndusInd Media & Communications Ltd (IMCL).

Main principle of reliance is, if reliance is selling any product it wants payment before the material leave its premises. If reliance is buying any product or services be ready to have payment issues. Your payment will be delayed for a long time.
