My question is Why DD channels are compulsory in NCF in D2H?
25 mandatory Doordarshan channels have to be there along with 75 Pay Channels!
Just a thought ....please comment your views
IF TRAI is so consumer-oriented and they have let users choice their channels then why cant we choose whether to opt for DD Channels or not?
Who said the whole NCF etc is for consumers? Its all for the benefit of operators and for pushing official propaganda. And then most DTH operators also force include the Republic trash into the free channels.
That is the main reason I dumped DTH and switched completely to OTT.

Because those are state owned channels and are free. So, D2H are required to broadcast em as well. 🙂🙂🙂And since those free things are not costing us anything directly so it's all good.

Because These Are Mandatory Channels By TRAI
simply because TRAI mandated them

So these channels are not "free", they also cost money.
As far as I know these DD channels are not included in the channel count for NCF charge calculation.
So those channels doesn't fill up the channel space.

Haha this makes no sense as when one can get all FTA channels without them getting counted why would someone will add only few of them and get counted 😅
