In a disappointing turn of events, subscribers in Tamil Nadu have been left without access to their favourite Star channels, including Star Vijay and Star Sports 1 Tamil, due to misleading claims and unjustified, unilateral actions by major operators TCCL, VK Digital, and SCV.
These operators have falsely claimed that prices for Star Vijay and other Star channels have increased, leading them to remove these channels en-masse from their base packs without any prior notice to customers or any requests from the subscribers/customers.
This abrupt action has deprived countless viewers/subscribers of the entertainment they cherish, including the highly anticipated Bigg Boss Tamil Season 8, hosted by the charismatic Vijay Sethupathi, and the exciting ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
“There has been no increase in the prices of Star Vijay and Star Sports 1 Tamil. We’re proud to present a robust line-up of marquee content across entertainment and sports this festive season. Over the years, Bigg Boss Tamil has created a special place in the hearts of our viewers in Tamil Nadu, with its connection getting stronger with every passing season.
With women’s cricket gaining momentum, the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is a must-watch event. We look forward to continually entertaining our viewers with high-quality content,” said a Disney Star spokesperson.
By misstating facts that Star channel prices have been increased, some MSOs have sought to unilaterally disrupt subscribers’ access to popular shows like Baakiyalakshmi, Siragadikka Aasai, Aha Kalyanam etc. but also leave them frustrated and confused.
This abrupt change has left consumers disappointed and robbed of their entertainment needs. Viewers affected by this situation should contact their operators immediately to seek immediate reversion to the viewing experience as before 1 st October 2024.
If they still don’t regain access to their favourite channels, they may consider switching to an alternative operator that values them and their entertainment choices.
Disney Star Network is committed to bringing the best entertainment to its audience in Tamil Nadu. The network hopes that TCCL, VK Digital, and SCV rectify the situation created by them swiftly, in line with Hon’ble TDSAT orders dated 09.10.2024 so that subscribers can resume enjoying their favourite Star channels without further delay.
