5 Major Changes which will bring your Cable Cost Down

Till now broadcasters were charging arbitrarily for the channels and with TRAI putting a rein is a welcome step as now you can choose the channels for which you can pay. The action by TRAI is commendable as earlier this date was 28 Dec 2018 which has been extended to 31 Jan 2019 as broadcasters failed to comply with the guidelines. The major 5 changes which impact your cable budget are as following post 31 Jan 2019.

• Rs 130 per month has to be paid every month, for 100 FTA or Free to Air Channels
• Consumers need to pay Rs 20 more to access 25 SD channels
• Broadcasters will allow consumers to select packs of pay channels, based on which the actual cost will be derived.
• Free and Pay channels cannot be clubbed into one by distributors
• SD and HD channels cannot be clubbed into one by distributors

Remember that in majority cases if you see limited channel with discretion, it will result in reduction of monthly fees, however if you are looking at complete bouquet or maximum channels it may result in increase of fees. Thus it is the discretion which can help you finance your cable budget effectively.
