Dish TV, which is currently said to be in merger talks with Airtel Digital TV, has three long-term recharge options. Similar to other DTH operators, Dish TV is now offering 30 days of extra service to its users who’re recharging the same channel pack for 12 months straight. Tata Sky also has a similar offer called ‘Tata Sky Cashback‘ offer as part of which users can get one-month of extra recharge for free. So basically, if a Dish TV user recharges a single channel pack for 12 months, then the company will provide extra one-month service, making it a total of 13 months of service. Notably, Dish TV-owned D2h is also running a similar long-term recharge offer to its customers right now. Under the new Trai tariff regime, all the DTH operators removed actual long-term channel packs and came up with long-term recharge options.

Dish TV Brings New Long-Term Recharge Choices to the Customers
The new tariff regime forced DTH and Cable TV operators to phase out the actual long-term channel packs. But to lock-in customers for a longer duration, DTH operators came out with long-term recharge offers. Basically, customers will have to recharge the same pack for a longer period, and in return, they will get extra benefits from the operator.
As part of the new long-term recharge offers, Dish TV is providing up to 30 days or one month of free service along with free Set-Top Box swap service. Dish TV customers choosing the same channel pack for three months or above will get seven days of extra service from the company in return.
