MUMBAI: Leading DTH player Dish TV has reintroduced lock-in periods for both a-la-carte channels as well as packs. The a-la-carte channels have a lock-in period of 30 days while the packs range from 30-360 days.

A few months ago Dish TV had launched the lock-in period but had to call it off after people gave negative feedback. It hasn’t revealed the reason for reintroducing it. It isn’t clear yet whether the limitation of a lock-in period is in violation of TRAI norms.

The changes are visible on both the website and the app. All packs show a lock-in period expect one particular south pack.

Tata Sky had also announced a similar lock-in period but quickly reverted.
