Tata Sky partners Hindi GECs to launch clone HD channel services | TelevisionPost.com
I had seen similar services by channel providers in UK. Except BBC GEC, all other channels, mostly GEC, had +1 channels which ran same content with 1 hour delay from main channel.
Although now people can watch TV shows on YouTube or other OTT services like Hotstar, VOOT, etc, such +1 services may prove waste of bandwidth eventually.
Direct-to-home (DTH) operator Tata Sky has launched a new high definition (HD) service called +1 that will allow its subscribers to watch their favourite shows twice or catch it up after s/he has missed it by an hour.
+1 will be the same as an HD channel, except that the service will run with a one-hour delay. For example, if a particular show airs at 8 pm on an HD channel, the +1 HD channel will air the same show with a one-hour delay at 9 pm.
+1 services can be viewed upon subscribing to the respective HD a la carte at applicable rates. Ultra Plus HD and Ultra Plus South HD customers will enjoy these services as part of their subscription.
