India’s leading DTH operator Tata Sky has made changes to its channel catalogue by removing three defunct channels and updating names of seven existing ones, Dream DTH has reported.

This process was put into effect by Tata Sky effective 5 September. Under this reshuffle, defunct news channels namely Tiranga TV, BTVI and Samachar Plus and seven new channels have been added.

Tata Sky has also updated names of seven channels out of which one is a news channel and six others pertain to telemarketing.

These are the list of channels which have been renamed:

• News 11 – News 11 Bharat
• NT1 – Naaptol
• NT2 – Tamil Naaptol
• NT4 – Kannada Naaptol
• NT5 – Bengali Naaptol
• NT8 – Cinema TV India
• NT9 – Telugu Naaptol

It was recently reported that Tata Sky had also upgraded its video compression system which would help it save bandwidth and allow it to add new channels in the future.

It will also help Tata Sky better utilise its current resources. The upgrade though is not expected to result in any changes in picture, audio or signal quality.
