MUMBAI: With six days left for the Indian Premier League (IPL), direct-to-home operator Reliance Big TV has sorted out its dispute with MSM Discovery, the exclusive distributor of IPL‘s official broadcasters Sony Max and Sony Six.

MSM Discovery, the joint venture between Multi Screen Media (MSM) and Discovery Communications that manages TheOneAlliance, had earlier in the day pulled the plug on Reliance Big TV by switching off signals of Max and Six for non-payment of dues.

However, Reliance Big TV cleared the outstanding dues that finally led to TheOneAlliance agreeing to resume signals effective tonight.

MSM Discovery President Rajesh Kaul confirmed that the dispute with Reliance Big TV has been amicably resolved. "Yes, we have resolved our issues with Reliance Big TV. The signals of Max and Six to Reliance Big TV will resume tonight," Kaul told Indiantelevision.com.

Reliance Big TV spokesperson refused to comment on the issue.

The decision to switch off signals to Reliance Big TV would have affected almost two million subscribers who would have had to miss one and a half months of IPL action that kicks off on 3 April.

Earlier, TheOneAlliance had issued a public notice in Economic Times and Business Standard informing subscribers of an impending switch off.
