4 to 5 years? Then hw will TS add more quality channels in the next 4 or 5yrs? In the nxt 4 to 5 yrs channels might go beyond 200..thn hw will TS provide those channels widout losing quality wid jus 12Ku of tp's space?
This problem will not be only with Tata Sky, but with all DTH providers having 10-12 TP's and using MPEG-2 compression technique for TV downlinking. If somebody (like Reliance - not sure) is using MPEG-4, then he may broadcast more channels.
I said 4-5 years because ISRO has to provide TP's to more 4-5 DTH providers in future, once each one of them get TP's ISRO may look after existing TP's. (Although TATA may use money power to acquire more TP's - just my guess)
