Now, change your channel list with a simple SMS

There is relief in sight for cable and DTH subscribers, who have been struggling to select the right channel package and pay only for those channels that they watch.

TRAI has tried to make that process easier by telling DTH and cable TV operators to allow subscribers to change their channel lists by simply sending an SMS.

And, the changes have to be implemented by all operators within 15 days, in what would appear to be a Diwali gift from TRAI.

The move comes days after several consumers, in response to a consultation paper, wrote to TRAI about how their cable bills had increased sharply post-NTO.
