Hathway Confirms Rs 153 NCF Charges for Every Secondary Connection

Hathway is following the footsteps of Tata Sky in the broadcasting sector. There has been a lot going on in the Indian broadcasting sector as the new rules from Trai didn’t go well with the consumers. While DTH and Cable TV operators are looking to make profits from the new regime, the viewers are unhappy with some of the moves being made by the operators. Tata Sky users were disappointed after the implementation of full NCF charges for secondary connection, and now, Cable TV operator Hathway is following the same route. The popular Cable TV service provider in the country, Hathway, states that it will charge NCF charges of Rs 153 for every secondary connection, similar to Tata Sky’s Room TV service. Hathway also confirmed that a user could choose channels of his/her own on the secondary connection.

Hathway Makes Changes to Multi TV Policy: What’s New?

Following the Tata Sky route, Hathway is now charging Rs 153 NCF charges for every secondary connection. “The network capacity fee for the second television connection will be equal to the network capacity fee charged to other television connection,” says Hathway. So the maximum NCF charges right now are Rs 153 and it’s applicable to almost every TV viewer looking to watch a single paid channel.

Here’s a breakdown of NCF charges for secondary connection on Hathway- Rs 130 per Set-Top Box per month for network capacity up to 100 SD channels and Rs 20 per month in the slabs of 25 SD channels beyond the initial 100 SD channels capacity. These are the same NCF charges even for primary connection followed by all the Cable TV and DTH operators in the industry right now.
