Dear Indianmascot D2H lacks that Punch in terms of offering varied kind of channels in International channels.Most of the Indian News channels have become "VIEWS" channels so ALJAZEERA is the perfect choice.RT is again a true global neutral news channel.CCTV is china national news channel.Moving to your point of HBO premium channels I think you are much more informed than me that what kind of Movie Library they have and what they are airing is already on HBO.Than whats the point in demanding an exorbitant channel with of no use.
Rs. 40 hike is a steep hike for PLATINUM HD subscribers for addition of only one single channel and i ask all the fellow members that does any one of them has ever demanded to add crap channels like : OSCAR MOVIES, R vision HBN etc.Mere adding some exclusive non sense channels doesnt make any DTH player big in terms of max no of channels.The emphasis should be on the quality of offering by offering FOx Traveller HD etc. channels.Will wait for your response dear Invisible friend.
I completely agree with you that Rs 40 price hike for just one sports channel isn't a good thing but my disagreement with you is regarding demand of channels.
Why we need RT and CCTV? What is the percent of viewership for such channels. For 99% viewers it will be as useless as teleshopping channels are.
Regarding HBO, I am very happy with these channels. They are premiering new movies every week. Recent one was, Snitch, Gangster Squad, GI Joe Retaliation and Beautiful Creature. I have subscribed this channel on Monthly basis but after watching its library for almost 3 months I am planning to go for its annual pack. I think both HBO channels are the 2nd best English Movie channels in India after Star Movies HD.
Leaving behind these channels if we demand channels like RT and CCTV, then we are definitely confusing the operator.
