Cable TV operators protest SCV's launching of DTH

Madurai, Sept. 21 (PTI): Cable TV operators in the city today protested the decision of Sumangali Cable Vision, owned by Maran brothers, to launch Direct to Home service.
The operators held protests at the Multi System Operator's office at Uthangudi near here and stopped the telecast of various TV channels, an operator said.
The operators maintained that the decision would affect their livelihood.
The MSO had announced an attractive DTH service from today which would provide 75 channels and 15 radio channels for just Rs 75 a month, Rs.25 more than what the Government planned to give the subscribers of the state-owned Cable TV network.
The Sumangali Cable Vision was also offering dish antenna and set-top boxes free of cost.
Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports said that the cables laid by Sumangali Vision were snapped at nearly 200 places in the city. Nothing was known about who all were behind the "sabotage", some cable operators said. "We dont know what is the motive behind the snapping of the cable network," they said.

I think this protest may carry all over tamil nadu.It's time for the people to shift from cable to DTH.

In Madurai zone, the cable is controlled by Azhgiri who is at loggerheads with the Maran brothers. The situation can become nasty as before which resulted in damage to Maran brothers newspaper offices.

Even the protest can be a booster to Sun Direct marketing. They can advertise uninterrupted reception for Sun Direct, where local cable guys cannot show goondaism.
