Infact for dth penetration ESPN took the step and decided to provide HD feed of the World Cup to Dish TV, Airtel DTH and Tata Sky. Tata Sky is out with HD and is well equipped for bringing in more channels.

SUN HD,DISH TV were allowed HD from governemnt

TATA SKY HD was declined as TATA didn't have the infrastructure.

no idea about AIRTEL but they came late
 
So, has anyone bought Airtel DTV HD?
 
I think other than Airtel, all are providing channels other than ESPN HD world cup feed and their own feed. Airtel may not be having agreement in place for NatGeo HD and Discovery HD. Thats why its not providing these channels right now and may be working on it.ESPN HD feed is available till July 12th. So Airtel is in a situation to bring in other HD channels before that. Otherwise its HD is not marketable after July 12th.The mega pack of Airtel is ~300. So Rs.100 can not be charged for a single HD channel alone all the way in future. Thats why I think this Rs.100 is an access fee for HD feature irrespective of the number of HD channels.
