Following the launch of country’s first demand-driven satellite GSAT-24 which gave Tata Play the largest satellite bandwidth in the country, the DTH platform has decided to carry 100+ HD Channels catering to all subscribers, genres and languages.
The 103 HD channels available on Tata Play span across 17 genres and includes HSM as well as key regional markets like Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Odia.
Tata Play also onboarded all 44 Doordarshan channels to its list of offerings.
The sharp increase in the number of channels being offered occurred after its satellite bandwidth increased by 50 percent. Tata Play today operates on 36 transponders – which is the highest in the country.
Harit Nagpal, MD & CEO, Tata Play, sharing about the landmark development, said, “We’ve always been committed to delivering the ever-increasing infotainment needs of our subscribers with the best quality of picture and sound. We’d now urge the broadcasters to create more channels in HD for us to take to our viewers.”
