TDSAT: Tata Sky is not obligated to carry all 32 Zee channels

TDSAT has said in a crucial ruling that the DTH Company Tata Sky is in no ways obligated to carry all the 32 channels from Zee on their service.

This ruling is expected to change the way DTH service providers choose and provide channels to their customers.

Zee Turner had put this condition that Tata Sky would have to carry all their channels if they wanted to get any of their channels.

TDSAT further said that Tata Sky has the right to ask for only 19 channels out of the 32 in the Bouquets 1 and 2 offered by Zee.

Tata Sky’s legal experts have claimed that this is a crucial victory for them as they can now pick the popular channels to show on their service.

    In this fight of TataSky and Dish, I think that the Consumer is a loser. Tata Sky was prompt in removing the channels from their DTH service without informing the consumers.

    While pricing the package they show certail list of channels and then remove them without reducing the pricing or even informing the customers. I think that Tat Sky has been very unprofessional in their approach and are cheating the consumers.

    Earlier in the month they had removed Neo sports channels while continuig to show them as a part of packege on their advertisement booklets and website.

    Is their a method available to safeguard the consumer interest in this big fight (incidently I had always known that competition leaves consumers more satisfied and not poorer !!!)

    company has removed 13 zee channels including Zee Classic, Zee Action, Zee Music, ETC Music, zee sports etc from their service network.

    This is just a eyewash.

    I have gone through the judgment of the case (available on net at tdsat.nic.in). This case was filed by TATAKY against Zee for providing them channels with all bouquets at a price of Rs.83.85 and whereas TATASKy wanted only 02 bouquet comprising of 19 channels. Now they will be getting 19 Channels as liked by TATASKY at a price of 50 % of Rs 83.85 i.e. reduction in RS. 42/ per customer.

    Tatasky has not reduced the prices and saved RS. 42 per customer. What a trick to earn revenue and be befool customers. I think TRAI should take look into such malpractices suo moto and asked TATASKY to maintain the same channels as offered in the initial package or to reduce the price by same.

    The advertisement that TATASKY gave is also eyewash and bad since it influences the customers connoting that Tatasky is helpless since it is court order whereas this is not the case.

    I hope somebody is looking.
