I COMPLETLY AGREE, THE NUMBER OF TAMIL CHANNELS IS VERY LESS IN TATASKY.
AND TO ADD MORE MISERYPODHIGAI CHANNEL has been taken off and added in active doordarshan FROM 12.01.2010. The screen size is very small.WATCHING IT IS MISERABLE. Morever the recording of this channel cannot be done in tata sky plus. After Sun, Vijay and jaya tv, podhigai is highly viewed in Chennai and Tamilnadu .Hence clubbing it with other DD channels, which dont have much viewership in active doordarshan is not fair.Morever this move will reduce THEIR penetration in the SOUTH INDIAN market, as the number of tamil channels in tatasky is very low compared to other Dth operators.While airtel gives 17, big tv gives 20, tata sky gives only ten channels, of which podhigai has been removed from the main base pack.
FOR TECHNICAL REASONS AND FOR SQUEEZING MORE CHANNELS THEY SHOULD NOT REMOVE A CHANNEL WHICH HAS HIGHER VIEWERSHIP AND PUT IT IN ACTIVE DOORDARSHAN, AND MAKE IT VIEW IN A SMALL SCREEN.
WILL THEY DO THE SAME THING TO DD-NATIONAL?
WILL THEY DO THE SAME THING TO STAR PLUS AND PUT IT IN SOMETHING INTERACTIVE CALLED ACTIVE STAR?
PEOPLE IN SOUTH INDIA SHOULD PUT PRESSURE ON TATASKY TO BRING DD-PODHIGAI BACK TO THE MAIN BAND AND TO THE REGIONAL PACK BY CALLING THEIR CUSTOMER CARE .TATASKY SHOULD ALSO DO THIS AT THE EARLIEST AND ALSO ADD NEW TAMIL CHANNELS.
