PSB said:Looks like Aakaash and South Asian World have gone
This has happened before and they came back so keeping my fingers crossed!
I liked these channels A LOT!
Dish has picked up South Asia World. Don't expect it to come back anytime soon. There will probably be a similar fate to the other network.
going going gone?
I saw the same thing.. i also cant seem to find DR Scott's Univeristy channel .. did it leave also?

Right now there isnt enough to constitute getting FTA just for Indian channels. If you wanted to broaden it and get some English stuff, then its worth it
Remember there are some Indo/Pak channels on IA-5 And there are new channels coming and going all the time on that particular satellite! There are a few " Coming Soon" test cards there right now.................We NEED more Indian channels/FTA!
And remember with a FTA system you not only get the channels listed on Lyngsat but you get feeds from around the world, I recently seen a Cricket match I that was coming from India!

Contrary to Mr Load's response, a FTA system is always a great idea. You could start small and then expand on. As PSB said, stuff comes and goes all the time and there are new channels coming, so you never know. You could get a basic system and add on as need be. (thats what I did...simple receiver and dish).
Since there are few of us here who would know the Indian language, I would check out Lyngsat to see if there is something on there that you would know is from your homeland. I posted the links above
Hey, I love FTA. I spend way too much time on it. It's great for so many cool things. I recommend it for all sorts of reasons. If you want sports, timeshifted networks, syndicated shows, Chinese programming, Middle Eastern programming, or fun with raw feeds, FTA is the way to go. But none of that is related to the narrow, specific question that was asked. If the universe of your desires consists of programming from India, I can't say that the expense and installation work will yield sufficient payoff.
The pattern for Russian and Indian programming has been that the home country won't subsidize it, and that there are a lot of professionals in the US willing to pay Dish to watch it. I'd love for that to change, but for now it seems unlikely that FTA will be a primary, reliable source for Indian programming.
There are also some Indian programs on Imaginasian now and then.
