Tata Sky has filed an appeal with the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) against the Sun Group accusing the latter of refusing to share signals. The DTH service provider TataSky is believed to have told the Tribunal that all efforts of negotiations between them had failed.

As per regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, every channel must share its feeds with all DTH operators on non-discriminatory terms. If refused, the DTH operator can approach the tribunal after serving a 15 days notice to the channel. The Sun Network consists of 14 channels in four languages, and the company has also acquired a licence for its DTH service Sun Direct. "We are also not disputing the number of channels. We would pick all 14 channels provided by them," said Mr Mukul Rohtagi, Senior Counsel representing Tata Sky. A TDSAT Bench has summoned both parties to appear before it on November 21.
