Thanks for the information.

I stay in Mumbai and I am aware that they have started IPTV. But I am not sure of their service. I know for the fact their phone service is pretty poor. So how they will manage IPTV is lot to be desired.

And I dont think the channel list that you have is updated one. Because you are not allowed to relay channels such as Al-Jazeera, PRT international as per TRAI order. Doesn't this applies to IPTV as well??

well if the tv 5 is not the tv 5 monde asie rather the british tv 5 then it airs mature contents again the trt int , the turkish channel too airs mature muveez then how they have allowed

[Dish]

Well TV5 must be Thai channel as I seen once time on my cables and it is similar to out Star puls and Zee Tv.

o k b u t t h e n trt is what it is so how they have allowed ali is probably correct yams data not updated , again the pune channels given by u are correct and they probably have the same in mum

[yam]

I think this list is updated one because it was added 2-3 weeks back. May be IPTV can show those channels.

If the list is updated then they surely are showing some niche channels. My cable operator used to show some of the channels mentioned on the list like the Geo News, Sindhi Tv, Al-Jazeers but after the TRAI downlinking guidelines they were banned.

We need to get this confirmed somehow.

I wonder what the following channels would be about....
FE TV
FCN TV
PTC News
KOOK TV
APNA channel
TGN
VIBE
MTV Delhi??
NOW (something base on technlogy I guess)
Hooe Channel
Jhankaar movies


Rest all are known ones

fetv is far east television its faltoo chanel showing only religious programs
fcn tv is family christian network very similar to fetv
ptc may b rts,that means ruski televison sporta as in russian rts written as ptc
kook tv a niche foodie channel
apna tv is paksitani faltoo channel
tgn is thai lobal network probably to boast more number of channels it is there or r we became thais

[alian1980]

So more of faltoo channels in the list

KOOK TV, APNA channel, TGN, VIBE & Trt int are FTA channels & you can watch them via Thaicom 5 satellite. (You need a 6 Ft dish since they are C band channels)


NOW, Al-Jazeera, TV5 monde are available FTA on Asiasat 3S. (again C band)
