The Direct to Home (DTH) Services landscape has progressively changed in the last couple of months. It has transformed from a somewhat affordable option to get access to TV channels to a highly competitive industry. The turning point for the shift came when TRAI issued a new regulatory framework. This new framework was meant to ensure ease of use, and more choices for DTH subscribers at an affordable rate. This framework was also meant to offer more control over what a user wants to subscribe to, in terms of channels.
The framework has achieved some success when we look back at its initial objectives. Ever since the enforcement, DTH subscribers have more control of what channels they can opt-in for. This control has resulted in a majority of subscribers saving on the total amount of money that they were paying. The process to subscribe is not exactly easy as one has to follow some steps to set things up.

All the players in the industry have pulled up their socks to try and offer the cheapest plan out there.
