Dish TV
Unfair charging

Respected Sir/ Madam

I would like to draw your kind attention towards monopoly of satellite TV Network providers Like DISH TV, TATA SKY, BIG TV etc. in non CAS areas. These network providers debar all the channels including FTA channels when the subscription period is over. How can they debar FTA channels which is coming to them free of cost and while Doordarshan's DTH (Direct To Home) dish is showing all FTA Channels Free of cost. Is it our fault that we have bought their set top box while those who bought Doordarshan's DTH set top box they are watching all FTA Channels Free of cost. I mean to say that the subscriber should pay only for the paid channels why we are forced to pay for what is free and some people are getting it free I came to know that these service providers charge not only for service but also for the infrastructure they have set up. How can they charge in such a way while we have also paid to set up some infrastructure (ie. SET TOP BOX) and doordarshan's DTH is not charging for infrastructure.

Moreover Dish Tv penalizes its consumers for Rs. 20/- if the subscription is renewed after due date while the channels are debarred from the very same day. I can't understand why they are charging Rs. 20/-late fee while the service is already deactivated and they have shown nothing during this period. Thirdly they are charging Rs.40/- as down grade charges every a subscriber switches over to a lower pack.
