The Great Cable Ban
Has anyone noticed that after the cable cut experience some channels have been banned?? And these channels, according to my Cable operator’s services, that have been banned are :
HBO
STAR ONE
ZEE CINEMA
STAR MOVIES
HALLMARK etc.
Etc. because I don’t have a list of all the channels shown in the first place. But these are the ones I noticed because of the huge sign displayed ‘ This channel cannot be displayed until the High Court order is Passed” or something to that effect.
The irony of the situation is that the channels that were opposed (ie: the ones having adult content broadcast) were untouched. Intact.
Zoom, Star World, Zee Trends, Channel F, B4U, MTV, Channel V, are some of the channels which had been mentioned explicitly in the newspapers along with their shows and the timings when naked, lewd, adult images are shown. And it has recently been announced that the female who raised this entire issue (ruckus??), a St. Xavier’s professor, has also said that Cartoon Channels show a lot of sex and violence which corrupts children.
Are cartoons next??
PS: I’m cribbing so much because I cant do without Star Movies, HBO and Star One. All are stellar channels. Does anyone have a way of getting around this too?? Speaking with reference to the advice I got for getting around the recent Blog Ban in its post…
Yeah me to get a bit frustrated witht he no star movie, hbo situation… weekend seemes long
> mentioned explicitly in the newspapers along with their shows and the timings
Damn! How could I miss such important details?!!
;-)
Well, the best option is either CAS or DTH. Phir dekho movie apna apna.
Viewer : Same pinch!!
Dadoji: umm.. I ll try to give you the archives link to it. CAS and DTH?? i know whts cas but whts this DTH?? and i want a short term option yaar, am i being too fussy??
Pragni: DTH =Direct To Home. Dish TV and Tata Sky are two of the options. You put up a dish and receive the channels directly. You get to view only those channels that you have paid for. Don’t know about the terms but you will end up investing something in dish and the gear.
The cable works now!! Hurrah!! All my channels are back!!
Well till the Kanjur & Mulund area is blocked with Star Movies & HBO…I am getting damn bored yaar…
thinking of removing the cable going on Tata Sky…but it seems tata sky don’t have HBO….is there any option which give all of them
