Star Plus (asian) Coming To Dish?

[Dish-Direc]

I am hearing that Star Plus (Asian) is coming to Dish next month. Scott, and others who may know, can you please confirm this?

Isn't that channel on DirecTV now as part of the HindiDirect package?

 

[Dish-Direc]

Yes...exactly the same channel.

I doubt it. DirecTV probably has exclusive rights to them and it wouldn't make sense for DISH to get Zee/Sony and Star channels, though that'd make many DISH subs very happy.
