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)
 
Since TS is partner of Sky nd DirectTV USA. Can it use ther TP's for channels? And i dnt undastand why cnt TS get sky sports in India since Tata nd Sky r partner nd make it exlusive to attract subscribers?

1. SKY TP's footprint is in UK & DirectTV TP's footprint is in US, so how can we receive its signal in India?
2. SKY SPORTS carry all content (for UK region) which we receive via ESPN/STAR/TEN/ZEE/NEO/NEO+ (for India) so why we need seperately?

oh thanx for the info abt the tp's didnt knw much abt it. anyways If we get Sky sports we wud nt need those other channels and also Sky sports Telecasts WWE live while Ten sports does nt. So it wud be gud if TS Gets it.

There will be issues with reagrds to the rights.The only thing we can possibly hope for is some analysis.We will never get sky sports live here.
 
@kedarisv
but Sky Sports shows all the content withont ads.
WWE - I heard is edited before broadcast for India feed to cut some scenes (not suitable for Indian Viewers)

SKY SPORTS show less ad's, but they charge too very high. Check - Sky.com - Sky Products>Sky TV>Prices and Packages. SKY Sports is for £34 = Rs 2720 per month. Who is willing to pay that much :(
Here some people are even not ready to pay Rs 199 per year for Neo
