TRAI’s new framework for DTH and cable operators comes into effect from February 1, 2019, under which subscribers will need to choose their own channels and packs. DTH providers like Airtel Digital TV, Dish TV, Tata Sky have already put out channel lists on their official websites.
Last year in December, TRAI extended its December 28 deadline to the end of January 2019. Under the new framework, DTH, cable, MSO subscribers can individually select and pay for channels they want to watch per month.
The base monthly fee for 100 channels is common across all operators, which is Rs 130+18 per cent GST and it comes to around Rs 153. Those who add more than 100 channels to their pack will need to pay Rs 20 extra for 25 channels. In addition to individual prices for channels, most DTH operators have listed their own packs as well making it easier for their subscribers to switch to the new framework.
