MUMBAI: Direct to home (DTH) operator Airtel Digital TV, has temporarily discontinued Star India channels from its subscription packs from 8 March 2018, as it has not been to arrive at mutually acceptable terms with the broadcaster.
The DTH operator offers 22 popular Star channels across genre and languages free of cost to eligible customers for a period of one month as part of its promotion. To receive these channels subscribers will have to give a missed call on designated numbers.
On 16 February, Star had issued a disconnection notice to Bharti Telemedia for non-signing of the subscription agreement, non-payment of subscription fees and non-submission of subscribers reports.
“Due to failure to arrive at mutually acceptable terms with Star India with effect from 8 March 2018, all Star network channels will be temporarily discontinued from your packs,” the DTH operator informed its subscribers.
The DTH operator is offering Living Foodz HD, &Prive HD, Discovery Jeet HD, DSport HD, and Disney International HD as a replacement for Star’s HD channels. For the remaining Star HD channels, it will offer a proportionate refund to the subscribers.
