The New DTH Regulations

[kickass]

New TRAI rules to make HD channels cheaper by 70%, HD access fee illegal | Ultra News

I don't know if this is a good thing. Forcing low prices from operators might reduce number/quality of channel and content in the end.

^^^ and increase adverts on HD channels.
BTW only Tata Sky has HD access fee I guess. Other operators (DTH) provide HD channels in separate packs.

Yep, the adverts on many channels are already annoying/intrusive, I'm mean the ones which show the animations in the middle of scenes/dialogues in progress.

When is this HD Access Fee is going offline? (So that I could ask the Tata Sky to remove it?)

Also, Multi TV fee is also legit?

So TRAI awakens now? (I dont have HD)

I don't see anything specific regarding HD access fee.

Page4 - second last point- no separate fees mean no hd access fees.

For subscribing to Free-to-air channels. Lol. Not for HD ones.

Now read the 5th and last point on Page 5. Lol.

Hey! I'm trying hard to understand all this but I'm really not much into TV/DTH thing and the max thing I've done with DTH is paying their bill. Rest, I don't even touch it.

So if anyone could explain me, what's this all about and what's the new changes coming to the plans?

P.S.: Airtel has already introduced something based upon the TRAI's rules.
