MUMBAI: Cable operators dismissed the state government's claim that close to 90 % television connections in Mumbai had been digitalized . They said the actualfigureis around 70%.

Presidentof Cable Operators' Association Anil Parab said if the government stopped analog signals to the TVs of the remaining 30 % homesin thecity from November 1, there would be no channels to watch, which may lead to widespread anger on the streets , especially againsttheoperators .

Over 3,000cableoperatorsledby Parab reviewed TV digitalization at a meeting on Sunday with only three days to go for a 'blackout' of analog signals by the Centre in four metros of the country, including Mumbai . "Who will takethe responsibility of attackson operators ? Because of poor awareness about digitalization among the low-income group ,theconfusion over shareof operators and consumers in the paid channels , and the shortage of Set Top Boxes (STBs ), the switchover has been delayed ,"he said .

Parab demanded that the date of 'blackout' fixedfor analog signalson the midnight of October 31 st should be extended till midnight of December 31 so that in the new year only digital signals are allowed in the metro. "By that time we hope to achieve digitalization as cable operators are not opposed to it," he said.

Abhay Dudhale of Maharashtra Navnirman Cable Sena and Jagdish Joshi of Eastern Cable Operators Welfare Association demanded more time to bring transparency in revenue sharing and to achieve total digitalization. In the analog system the cable is directly attachedtotheTVto get you 100channels atRs 150to200 per monthbutwithout any interactivesystem .However ,in a digitalized system there are two types - direct to home (DTH) and Digital Access System (DAS ).
