Breaking News UTV STAR HD Removal 22nd DEC

[sunnysep1]

Just got a email on my STB which says,

Dear Customer
UTV STAR HD Channel number 572 will not be available on the platform from 22nd December onwards.

I guess they would be adding Travel XP from 22nd December.

utv stars wil soon become a standard definition channels from broadcast end, they will not continue as an hd channel as noone is interested in telecasting it in hd format and obviously utv will save a lot of money by becoming a sd channel as running hd channel is costly

Who told you this Dino Bhai ??

 

[aumnamonarayan]

bhai what is the purpose of running a hd channel when noone is interested in running ur channel on their platform. unnecessary running costs for a hd channel without a purpose for utv

 

[IndianMascot]

Yes, its useless infact they should close this channel itself as it has nothing good to show to viewers.

But that is your and mine view. UTV still didn't make any official announcement. You statements above looked like UTV has officially announced closure of HD channel and converting into SD

 

[aumnamonarayan]

they wil do it sooner than later bhai. tell me who wants to waste so much money in running a hd channel and then being shown in demodulated sd on dth platforms

 

[IndianMascot]

I used to watch this channel sometime because of HD, now that it will no more be available then I will hardly watch this channel.

 

[whitebunny]

Well Dino Bhai I totally agree with you on UTV stars its not a channel which many users would luv watching as an HD and as a SD channel

[whitebunny]
