The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) has expanded the scope of the Broadcast Engineering Consultants India Ltd’s (BECIL) audit of Dish TV’s subscriber management system (SMS) and conditional access system (CAS), by adding four more points following an application filed by content aggregator IndiaCast UTV.

IndiaCast UTV, the respondent in the case, had filed an application seeking modification of the tribunal’s 25 April order and requested that BECIL be asked to give findings in its report on four more points.

On hearing counsel for the parties, the tribunal found it just and proper to expand the scope of audit and to ask BECIL to give its findings on four more issues.

The four issues are:

• The report may indicate the count of subscribers who are getting IndiaCast channels by way of pick by channels and in addition to that getting true value packs in various months from January 2014.
