Smart Channel Packs: What are They? The good thing about the Smart Channel packs from Tata Sky happens to be that they are mostly priced below Rs 100 for all the regional channels. The Smart channel packs mostly bundle entertainment and news channels for the subscribers. For the subscribers who have already subscribed to a bunch of channels which they watch the most and then on top of that, they would like to have additional regional language channels, and the Smart channel packs offer a good affordable choice. Tata Sky Smart Channel Packs Description For example, the Marathi Smart Pack bundles channels like Colors Marathi, Sony Marathi, Zee Marathi, and other Marathi channels from Zee. The price of this channel pack is Rs 52.16 per month. The total number of channels in this pack is 9. Similarly, there is also the Odia Smart pack for the subscribers of Odia channels.

Trai to Bring New Tariff Regime Changes On March 1, Trai is bringing the new changes into the Trai tariff regime, which will change how the discounted channel packs are priced. It is quite possible that a lot of the channel packs will be obsolete after that since the channels which are priced above Rs 12 per month will not be a part of channel packs anymore. There would also be many limits on how the channel packs will be bundled and how much discount is allowed on them.
