[Resolved]  Tata Sky — Free to air DD channels dropped

We Tatasky subscribers are trapped by Tata.
When I called TataSky about the drop of Amrutha TV, DD Podhigai, DD Sapthagiri the answer was it is based on survey that they have removed these channels. Strangely, the survey is aimed at South Indian DD channels

These DD channels that have been dropped are free to air and we regularly watch for our favorite programs on it.

We need these DD channels back, can someone help bring back these free to air DD channels back on TATA Sky?

The following is thee-mail extract that I received from TATA Sky:
========================================

As of today the new scheme is no instalation charges, now I intend to buy a fresh connection in this scheme and also wish to have a second connection by a box gifted by my cousin in the same city(Digicom) do I have to pay any installation for the second connection and the subscription charges how much? The said Digicom already has an ID No. Please revert fast.
Thanks and regards,

Sir,
This is to inform you that my subscriber ID is [protected] and i have been charged thrice for getting my set top box changed only once which got spoilt due to heavy rain. I have tried to reach you from all possible ways but to no avail. This happened so that after my set top box got spoiled due to heavy lightning I asked Mr. Khosla to get our set top box changed which he gladly got it changed by his electrician wit yet another spoilt set top box which we realised after we sat down to watch TV. The next day when I called him up his engineered called up admitting his fault. After I received ur message alert i relised whats happened. And yet i was charged last week for the third time. Sir, if you are so desperate for money i can send you a cheque for the amount u need. I feel really ashamed u for wrting this, but u leave no options for us as i have tried to contact you several times. PLEASE STOP CHEATING UR CUSTOMERS. And if at the least u can do something then help me out urgently precisely as quick as possible since two months is a very long time.
Dr. Sanjeev Lall.

Sub: Refund subscription money
Subscriber ID: [protected]
This is to inform you that since more than two months the Zee Gujarati Channel is not shown in TataSky. While others are showing. This is ridiculous that you are bound to show this channel as per your prior commitments. Since we have paid annual subscription in advance kindly refund our money from may 2009. If not then we will take you to various consumer protection council and send you legal notice. Also we will write to various blogs. If we want to add one channel you charge for it but you drop, you don’t pay back. What is this? I want answer of this problem within three days.
