So then they should directly provide ad-free content without subscription cost to the users so that they don't take the piracy route? And where will the revenue get generated from to keep the service running?

Why always you guys took my words in wrong direction? Dear @Esmail Since where did I mention to provide content ad-free?
@iDJ where Tata Sky subscription came over here. Apart from this I've Sony LIV subscription. So, I don't need advice cum example on that.
And, read again guys here I mean to say that they're increasing ads on every option and that also video which is not good. What next they'll show ad in search option. Apart from this we all know Sony LIV lags a lot.

Assumption from other forum that you got a Tata Sky connection. I gave you a legal alternative to watch your favourite shows at minimal cost. And if you got a subscription. Why were you worried about users being pushed to unethical methods? It makes no sense.

I have compared the cost of DTH paid channels with Their OTT provided same channels...Watching in OTT is very much cheaper than DTH...That's the reason I have deactivated my Tatasky DTH Binge+ Box...
