Dish TV and Airtel Digital TV DTH Connection Compared After New Trai DTH Rules

When it comes to DTH services, until now, there have been different demarcations for the consumers as to which DTH operator they should opt. However, the coming of the new Trai rules regarding the DTH and broadcasting industry might change this. Bharti Airtel’s DTH services, named Airtel Digital TV and Dish TV are two quite popular names in the DTH industry. The consumers repeatedly look up to these DTH service providers for their DTH connections. In the past, before the new changes to the Trai tariff regime were rolled out, there were different strengths for each DTH operator. While people preferred Dish TV for different reasons, and Airtel Digital TV for different reasons, these have now been nullified by Trai. It also means that Airtel Digital TV connection and Dish TV connections are more comparable than ever. Here, we discuss how the changes to the Multi TV policy, Network Capacity Fee rules (NCF) and the other channel packs, related changes will affect the attractiveness of a particular DTH service provider.

Changes Affecting DTH Prices Under New Rules

One of the prime reasons why subscribers used to prefer Dish TV or D2h, for that matter, over the other DTH operators was because it was shipping lower Multi TV pricing for the subscribers. However, now the competition for Dish TV will be more as now every other DTH operator will also be forced to offer the secondary DTH connection at the 40% of the NCF being charged for the primary connection. This means that all the subscribers of Multi TV connections will be paying Rs 50 per secondary connection as NCF. This reduces the attractiveness of the Multi TV policy of Dish TV and gives an edge to Airtel Digital TV.
