From Mr Sree Kumar's post it is still not clear as to how the new system is going to reduce the price/cost in the context of high prices for each of the pay channels. In the earlier systems, the offered channels used to run in hundreds at very low prices with separate cost for different packs with mixture of different areas of interest. Though majority of those channels were not being watched by the subscribers, they had the choice to watch some of them at times without bothering for additional payments. As of now one has to pay additional if he wants to exercise such options any time under any circumstances. According to me, the new system is not at all consumer friendly and was uncalled for. more

While it is very difficult to design a policy and develop a plan and procedure to the satisfaction of each and every individual, there are always black sheep in the system lurking around to find faults and sabotage from within. My approach has always to accept efficiency rate of 85% of any and every service, and leave the remaining for the "being the unequals" that include the illiterates. I absolutely agree with the posting of Shri Sree Kumar, an expert. The question remains how to deal with the black sheep in the system, which is not possible without the active support of the alert and informed consumers. They may give "feedback" to the regulator TRAI, not complaints. See how effective is this formula. more

I have to pay rS.130/- per month for the cable operator's charges. He gives more than 100 channels and will not budge from this. I have taken 19 pay channels which come to Rs.132/- per month. However, I have an HD TV so have paid double the amount for the HD channel which comes up to Rs.132/- Now they are charging me as 29 channels instead of 19 channels because of the HD channels. This is daylight robbery as I have already paid double for the HD channels. For eg. Star plus HD is Rs.19/- but Star plus SD is Rs.10/- so I have paid double and yet I have to pay extra NFC for 29 channels. Can someone pls help me where to complain? Thanks in anticipation. more

Trai has disturbed the Cable & DTH market by implementing higher rates its a game plan of trai and DTH companies. earlier i used to see almost all chanells SD and HD(may be 500 chanells) in Rs 702/- per month. now in Rs 699/- under Mega HD package in which i am getteing only 150 channels. so channel reduced but not the money. all the people are silient DTH operator ealier sell inclusive of all now rates + NFC_ GST which is going higher. This market has been disturbed for Jio DTH Launch as Mr sharma always support Jio and govt too. this time all DTH operator getting share so they are silent. now you will pay higher for few channels then for all channels jio can charge higher like Rs 500/- or Rs 700 /-or Rs 1000/-as of now few people were paying less so jio could not be cheap for consumer. now you pay higher and crying then jio can offer relief at higher prices. even Airtel is not allowing to add channel in current package saying change yr plan or choose throgh a-la-carte basis then price will be higher then its profitable for all DTH service provider, broadcaster and govt through GST. customer is suffering in this entire game plan of Trai. more
