Dish TV channels selection process: TRAI’s framework for DTH and cable channel subscribers came into effect on February 1, 2019, allowing users to choose their own channels or packs. Under the new rules, one will need to pay a network capacity fee (NCF) of Rs 130 plus 18 per cent GST for up to 100 channels.
Dish TV subscribers who have already selected their monthly channels and wish to add or remove packs can do so by logging in to their accounts. Users will need to head to Dish TV app or the company’s website to log in with their registered mobile number or VC number and then enter password or OTP sent to their registered mobile number.

For 100 up to channels, the NCF is Rs 130 and though users can choose paid channels as well, the cost of these channels will be extra. The monthly cost of each paid channel will be reflected against each channel.

For those who select more than 100 channels, the NCF will be Rs 20 for an extra 25 channels. Dish TV recently removed NCF on some FTA channels if a user has chosen any paid channels.
Dish TV users can select from combos curated by the company or create their own monthly pack by selecting individual channels. One can choose from Standard Definition (SD) or High Definition (HD) channels, based on the region whether North or South.

To modify channel pack, click on the small down arrow besides the pack that users have already selected (on the bottom left of the cart). Upon clicking the arrow, one should see more pack options. Once subscribers click on a different pack, the channel count will change depending on the pack they have chosen.

All the channels that the user has selected will appear in red in the list on left side of the screen. One can click again on the selected channels to deselect them or select new channels. The added price of the channel should reflect immediately in the cart.
Once the user has confirmed the new channels or packs, click on ‘Proceed’ in the cart and the amount shown will be the monthly bill.
