You need to pay 154 which is the connection set up fee with 100 free to air channels included in it. There is no additional charge. The additional charges will come only if you choose paid channels as extra.

Hi Ashuthosh,

If you select a set of channels, you are paying for that channels for a period of 1 month or more as per your choice. But you are free to change channels before the next billing time. The remaining amount for the unused days (if any) will be adjusted and you need to pay the amount accordingly.

But here we have the choice to see what and when, for example, if you needs sports channels in February only, then from march on wards you can remove those channels from your pack.

Third Question: Can we change channel combination as and when required or is it a monthly commitment form the starting date.
It gives a feeling more we change channel combination more complex the billing system will become for any user to keep a track of!!.

Hi Ashuthosh,

For the first question, it is your choice whether to watch every month or not. Hence if you pay for the dth every month with your selected pack, you can continue watching your channels. Once you stopped paying, the service also will be stopped. If you consider to pay after 2 or 3 months even more than that, you don’t need to pay for the past missed months. Once you decided to pay again, you only need to pay for the upcoming months. For your information, our DTH system is a sort of prepaid connection. So you are getting service only after paying money for the upcoming months. So no need to pay for the previous unused months.

second question regarding the mirror connection, unfortunately we don’t have enough information regarding the same. As of now even DTH operator are also not given exact information regarding the way of implementation of the service. We will get to know in detail only after the implementation after feb 1st.

We will update your query once we get the details.

I was reading your blog about new TRAI rules on how viewership scenario will change post 1 Feb 2019. Viewer pays what they see. This part is very clear thanks.

I have 2 questions for you.
As on today when I don’t wish to use my DTH i was not recharging it for few months and when i felt the need was recharging not for that 1 odd month to sue.

In this new scenario can I continue the same practice I.e. pay as and when i need.

If i subscribe say 150 worth of paid channels which makes mu total bill to 130 (minimum contact) + 150 (paid channel selected) +18% GST = RS330 Approx. Do i need to pay 330 every month weather I use it or not.

Second question how the mirror connection works in new scenario in terms of pricing.

Await your valuable insight on these subjects.

You have to pay base amount plus the price of paid channels. So Rs. 154/- is the base rate,In that base rate you are getting free 100 channels. There is no option to get paid channel only with base rate.
