Dish TV and Airtel Digital TV New Channel and Packs Declared, Large Correction in Prices Noticed

Previously we came up with the names of cable operators which have complied by the new Trai regime. However, that time the DTH operators had not published their new channel and packs pricing thus arousing doubts about whether the companies would further resist the new mandate charted out by the industry regulator. However, now two of the biggest DTH operators of India, Dish TV and Airtel Digital TV have also published their channel prices thus joining the leagues of the operators and other DTH providers which have complied by the new Trai tariff regime.

Dish TV Lists Channel Pricing and Channel Packs

The first DTH provider in this news is Dish TV, which has published its channels pricing and the provider has mostly stuck to the pricing listed by the channel owners like Star and Zee Entertainment. This has also crushed the hope of subscribers who were looking forward to some discount from the DTH providers over the MRPs listed by the channel owners. Dish TV has listed 27 packs from Sony priced between Rs 12 to Rs 90 per month, which it will suggest to its subscribers per month. There are also 50 packs of TV18 group, which are priced in the Rs 8 and Rs 50 range. The provider will also ship 24 packs from Zee, 13 packages from Sun TV and 58 packages from Star India, with this new rollout.

Speaking of the pricing of the channels, Dish TV has mostly decided to stick to the pricing of the original channels itself, for example, Star’s value pack of Rs 49 or Sony’s Happy India HD pack at Rs 90 per month. You can visit this portal to check the new prices.

Previously channel owners used to force the hand of DTH providers and subscribers alike by limiting them from forming their own channel packs by pricing the individual channels higher than in the bouquet. This was done to increase the viewership of the particular channel owner’s channel. However, now under the new Trai regime, people will be able to choose each and every channel in their 100 channels base pack without affecting the billing.
