Additional details
Network Capacity Fee (NCF) for the 1st 100 channels is ₹130. For every additional slab of 25 channels, ₹20 will be charged if the number of channels is 15 or more. And ₹1 per channel will be charged if the number of channels is less than 15.

One HD channel will be treated equivalent to 2 SD channels for the purpose of calculating the number of channels within the distribution network capacity that has been subscribed. Standard lock-in period is thirty days while the lock-in period for Sports channels is set at 60 days.

How to Do IT

As we know that according to new rules by TRAI, all cable & DTH operators have to now allow their customers to delete any channel in their base pack & replace those channels with the ones they want to watch.

Earlier, the base packs were not mutable & the only option that the customer has was of adding channels to the base pack and not modifying the package itself.

The tool which can be found here for D2h is built on a common software platform which makes the DTH brand the first to fully implement TRAI’s directions on the new channel and pack pricing.
