If you willing to spend $38.69 every month on watching Hindi films and other programmes, you could have three Hindi channels on TV.
Alternatively, if you are already a subscriber to the basic Sky package, you need only to pay $19.99 since you would not need a separate decoder costing $18.70 per month.
As a subscriber, you could have a free view for one month.
Sky Television has announced that it would launch ‘Colors’ on Channel 151, ‘Star Gold’ on Channel 152 and move the existing ‘Star Plus’ from Channel 315 to Channel 150.
‘Colors’ and ‘Star Plus’ telecast a number of soaps, and epics and lives and times of rulers of ancient dynasties.
The Television company is also launching two Chinese and one Filipino Channel.
Star Chinese Channel and Star Chinese Movies, both in Mandarin, will be telecast respectively on Channel 155 and 156.
The Filipino Channel in Tagalog will be available on Channel 160.
Sky Television Content Strategy Director Megan King said that WTV operated Channels currently being telecast on Sky will be removed on March 1, 2016.
“We’ve taken care with the selection of Hindi channels to ensure that we deliver a good range of entertainment content. From general entertainment series on Colors, to the best of Bollywood on Star Gold, when added to existing channel Star Plus, this gives a very well rounded selection for viewers,” she said in a statement.
