don't think so.its not just a number which you can take with a new subscribers like phone numbersmany DTH opertors design their STB with their design and and user interface and has its own limitation which would stop other operators to use them.its not a software thing to do,its limited with hardware
 
Indiantelevision.com's > Digital Edge > Trai seeks stakeholder views on STB interoperability

Part quote:
"Trai also wants to know whether there is a need to mandate any particular standard so that the objectives of technical interoperability can be achieved.

If technical interoperability for STB is not possible, Trai has sought information on any other mechanism to safeguard the interests of the subscribers."

"Stakeholders have been requested to offer suggestions by 7 September and counter-comments by 12 September."

The escape clause is already built in. Possible solutions are:
1. Minimum entry and exit charges.
2. Rental of STBs on a monthly basis.
3. Both bundled and ala carte ordering of channels on a monthly basis.
 
Wow, so TRAI first passed the recommendations.. and now its taking views of stakeholders if its possible currently or not and what standards shud be used... GREAT!
