Many channels in LS gold pack are FTA..

NDTV Imagine - Paid
9X- Paid
Zoom- Paid
NDTV Goodtimes - Paid
Colors- FTA but turn Paid soon
Bindass- Paid
UTV Movies- Paid
World Movies- Paid
NewsX- Paid
BBC Entertainment- Paid
UTVi- Paid

Tell me which are FTA except new channel Colors.

Utvi is a pay channel

well Ndtv imagine,9x,newsxand zoom
are all available on dishtv free of cost...
v have to pay extra 45rs
well thx i didnt know that utv channels are pay channels

Well Dish Tv showing it in Maxi pack because they don't have many channels. If you count all LG Pack channel price, it will goes higher then the 45 Rs cost.

Well, I Understand the price may go upto Rs 60-75 for all LS gold channels
But all new channels are added in LS gold pack is not done
EG:Colors which is a FTA right now was added in LS gold
it wud have been better if they wud have added after 2-3 mnths when its a pay channel

[Dish]

Yes you are right! They can remove some channels to base pack which gives them better offerings.

If they can move UTV Channels then it would be good since all 4 channels is under 20 Rs/

They wud not do so...sheer cheaters
well ive found that all DTH co's in india mislead the customers
whether its TS (No 1 cheater) or dishtv or sundth or big...
they mislead in someother way

[Dish]

Well one fact we should accept that they are paying more then 500 Rs to brodcatsers and Goverments for different channels. So they need somthing from us. Don't forgot India have world's cheapest DTH services. In abord they have $5 per channels to $30 per channel or small pack.

[cjignesh]

Yes but how come such big companies can afford losses..
There is some startegy around

[Dish]

Well each company needed atleast 3 to 4 years for break even and I am sure DTH company will also get BEP if they provide good service and complete customers wish.

[cjignesh]

Hope so they satisfy customers and provide good service
But TS will never change lol

Nat Geo Music hasn't even started in East Asia yet. So it will be sometime before they come to this region.

[Dish]

Yes but they have been apply to I & B for clearnce with their 6 more channels. Also NGC started few channels in Asia and we would expect Nat Geo Music soon.

I guess Astro will show that channel first in Asia.
