[Sushubh]

nice usable exciting channels... what's next lessons to learn for unborn babies?

 

[hitman]

They haven't added a single useful channels as yet.... Both BBC Entertainment and Cbeebies (which too is of bbc) r of 12 hrs duration... bbc entertainment start from 6pm to 6am and the other one 6am to 6pm... BBC Entertainment seems like a nice channel...

 

[nosh]

BBCentertainment is not so bad, it'll be a good change as they show Brit sitcoms and their brand of humour is considerably different than that found in US sitcoms. Looks like Sushubh is determined to hate Tata Sky till they add the Penthouse channel or something! 🙄And if I had kids (which I thankfully don't) I'd have welcomed the BBC kiddie channel too.

I am going to hate them and Zee DTH and CAS and my cable guy till the time I get the option to choose the channels I want and pay for them.

Well BBC Entertainment is brilliant. Extras is a show which is on it and I think that show is brilliant! They should make it a 24 hour channel though.Also... they need to add BBC Sports... Sky sports... more channels!

BBC Entertainment is BBC's international entertainment channel which was called BBC Prime in some places before.
Check BBC Entertainment - choose your country

The channels only recently got approval from I&B ministry so I guess this is still in the testing phase before they go 24 hours.
Tata Sky seems to be the first in the country to get the channels 😀

I read CBeebies is going to be in Hindi feed too.

But their packages page on the website has still not been updated - doesnt have LSTV or the 3 new channels.

 

[Crazysah]

Yeah. What other channels are currently waiting approval from I&B Minister?

 

[travelmate]

At the rate they are going it will be another year before we can have some new watchable channels.

 

[maahkaal]

At least Tata Sky are adding new channels and thats good to see. Hopefully this is the start of things to come. I'm sure people will change thier opinion about tatasky once they start getting more and more international channels on their platform.

IPTV now has 150 channels. 300Rs/month (excluding tax). but we need more reviews.

The new channels can't be replacement for the mainstream channels. They are miscellaeneous channels and have very limited viewership. Instead Tata's should try to focus more on Music Channels & Sports, where it is lacking.

Yeah. What other channels are currently waiting approval from I&B Minister?

The list of channels "approved" for downlinking can be found here
New Page 3
and
List of channels permitted after 1

There isn't a list of channels pending approval unfortunately.
BBC Entertainment and CBeebies appeared on the list some days back.

 

[Crazysah]

I saw ABC Asia Pacific. Maybe Tata Sky should get that channel.Also... why isin't BBC Entertainment available throughout the day? Why only after 6 PM and till 6 AM?
