How New TRAI Regulations/Rules Benefit the Users?

As the price for the individual channels in the A-La-Carte may have gone up to Rs.51. After the new rules by the TRAI will take an effect, the price for each of the Airtel DTH will be reduced.

This will give you the option of getting your favorite channel at a cheaper price. Also, previously not all channels were available for A-La-Carte option after the new TRAI regulation takes place, you will be capable of selecting or deselecting each and every channel.

How the New Airtel DTH TRAI System Works?

The working of the New Airtel DTH TRAI system is very easy and makes for an affordable viewing experience. As per the new TRAI Rules, the base pack will be provided to the customers at a price of Rs.130.

A base pack will include a minimum of 100 channels. From this list of 100 channels, the customer can select or deselect the channels from. You can select any paid channel in exchange of an FTA(Free to Air) channel and pay for the monthly subscription of the paid channel you have availed.

In case if you wish to add more channel to your base pack then for every 25 channels, you need to pay Rs.20 extra. For example, if you wish to get 25 channels to your pack then the price for your package will be Rs.150.

How to Add or Remove Channels in Airtel DTH Digital TV Online after New TRAI Regulations/Rules?

Since we all know that TRAI has taken out new rules for the DTH services as well as Cable TV. A lot of people are confused on how to make a new pack for themselves in their Airtel DTH pack.

Well, if you already have a plan running on your Airtel DTH and you wish to keep it then you may have to pay something extra. Why? Because the prices for all those affordable packs have been increased.

Although, the price of individual channels has decreased a lot. One thing to note is that the price of the HD channel in Airtel DTH will be double the SD one as it requires more bandwidth to air. Although, still the price for the HD channels will be less than the previous tariff.

The new TRAI regulations can be applied to the Broadcaster Bouquet or A-La-Carte option on Airtel DTH Digital TV.

Broadcaster Bouquet: In the Broadcaster Bouquet you will be able to purchase the subscription for all channels from a particular broadcaster, for example, Sony, Star, Zee, Set etc.

These are all broadcasters and have a bundle of channels that they Air. You can purchase these bundles or Broadcaster Bouquet at a very cheap price for a monthly subscription.

Below we have mentioned some of the best bouquets offered by Airtel DTH Digital TV.

A-La-Carte: As per the A-La-Carte option provided by the Airtel DTH Service provider, you can add additional channels by your choice to your existing package.

You can also make a customized package of Channels from scratch as per choice by choosing the channel of your choice using the option. Below we have mentioned the list of Airtel channel with their new prices after the new TRAI regulations.

How DTH Providers are in Loss After New TRAI Rules/Regulations?

The new TRAI Rules were made to empower the customer. As you may have noticed that there were many unnecessary channels that were bundled in our packages which were of no use to us.

Although, after this, you will be able to add the channels to your Airtel DTH as per your choice. This can, however, affect the DTH providers because there are channels which don’t have high viewership. As the new TRAI regulations take momentum all those channels can explicitly be removed from the bundle.

This can affect the survival of those channels which have low viewership. Before the rules these channels were bundled with the package so unknowingly we were funding their survival. Although, after the Regulations takes place most of those channels have high chances of ending and no longer being broadcasted by the DTH or Cable services.

This means that the DTH Providers will be getting less fee from the broadcaster’s side as they will be airing fewer channels.

Reason Why TRAI Come up with New Rules/Regulations for DTH?

Well, a lot of people were suffering from the high prices that the DTH services imposed on the customers. Also, the customers didn’t have any freedom when it came to several channels.

This decision for bringing out new TRAI regulations was to make your TV Viewing more affordable and to regulate the prices of the channels. Previously, all the operators were taking subscription charges as per their will.

Also, when you were buying a package that was the most affordable option then, you were also being charged for unnecessary channels that you don’t even watch.

After the regulations, customers will have the freedom to choose the channels as per their choice.

So this was all about the new TRAI Rules/Regulations and also the Airtel DTH channel price list for A-La-Carte option in 2018. We hope this article may have been of some help to you.
