So now India has all those DTH television services like Tata Sky, Dish network, Direct TV etc. India has hundreds of channels available for its viewers. Most of the viewers don't have services like Tata Sky as they normally get their TV connection from a local service providers and so don't get the luxury of having TV guides in their TV boxes. So one can't find out what's playing where.

To solve this problem, now we have few sites that can give you what's playing currently on the TV on different channels. So here I am going to list the sites where you can see the TV guides as well as setup a reminders via email/SMS for your television appetite. 

Finally, people have realised that they had been hypnotized by stupid Ekta Kapoor's shows. AgencyFAQ has a nice {ln:nw:http://www.agencyfaqs.com/perl/media/index.html?sid=20715 'article} today about the low ratings for Balaji Telefilm's shows.

Serials like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii on Star Plus, which once delivered ratings in the range of 12, have dropped to almost half of that.

It is not only the shows on Star Plus but also Balaji shows across other Hindi general entertainment channels such as Zee TV, Sony Entertainment Television (SET) and 9X that are losing ratings.

So many people (including myself) literally hated such shows. You can read more {ln:I hate Ekta Kapoor 'here} 

Finally!! 

Fashion TV, the most controversial channel for India has recently entered into partnership with Hungama Mobile to provide its content to millions of mobile users in India. Mobile users across India will be able to download exclusive video clips as well as interactive content on fashion and lifestyle from FTV on their mobile phones.

At the same time, FTV also has launched its content online on their India centric fashion portal FTV.co.in. This site will host community features, exclusive videos, designer sections, fashion news and interactive features like games etc. 

Indian Television is booming like anything recently. Looks like Indian television industry is competing with bollywood blockbusters and as a result Indian television stars are treated like celebrities. They have their own awards functions, their own celebrity statuses etc. We have already seen big stars now coming to small screen.

Now not only big stars but producers and directors are now eyeing on Indian television industry. The recent example is Yash Raj. According to {ln:nw:http://www.agencyfaqs.com/perl/media/index.html?sid=20001 'AgencyFAQ}, Yash Raj Films (YRF) is planning to launch a general entertainment channel (GEC) by the second half of 2008.

As they are saying, the content of the Yash Raj Films channel will be different from the typical Saas-bahu shows and will include programming such as reality shows, issue oriented shows, human interest stories etc. Oh I know what Yash Raj Films channel will show!! All the switzerland shootings, lover boy SRK and all the same crap that we see in his movies.
