Almost every popular entertainment channel like Star Bharat, Sony Pal, Zee Anmol got removed from DD Free Dish since 1st March 2019. If you are wondering why it happened and is there any way to get back these channels then please read this blog.
Why are the channels removed?
As DD Free Dish do not charge any fee from its subscribers, it has to charge channel broadcasters. Every private channel needs to buy a slot to make it available on DD Free Dish. An auction is held on by Prasar Bharati to sell slots on DD Free Dish. The latest pricing of slots is given below.
38th e-auction of DD Free Dish started on 11th February and completed on 15th February. Channels like Star Bharat, Zee Anmol, and Sony Pal have not participated in this action so as per process DD Free Dish has removed these channels from it’s platform. New channels who have successfully bided like Republic Bharat and NDTV India are added in DD Free Dish.
Can you get the older channels back?
The Internet especially YouTube is flooded with videos which claim that you can get the older channels back by a software upgrade and other tricks. Unfortunately, there is no way to watch removed channel on DD Free Dish. Do not waste your time watching such videos.
Can you add any channel by paying?
There is no way to add any channel which is not available on DD Free Dish even by paying extra. You can switch to paid DTH operators like Tata Sky, Dish TV to watch any channel of your choice.
Are removed channels may come back?
Auctions are held on a regular interval and there are many slots on DD Free Dish which are unsold. If channels participate in next auction and win a slot then removed channels may come back. There are very little chances that these channels will come back in the near future as not participating in e-auction is a strategic move by the broadcasters which is influenced by the new TRAI rules. 39th e-auction will start from 27th March 2019 for vacant MPEG- 4 slots but the most of DD Free Dish users use MPEG-2 set-top boxes so next auction is useless for them. At this time there is no announcement to sell vacant MPEG-2 slots.
Accurate information you have shared. As like Manish shah (Goldmine channel owner) who is targeting movie channel and started 4 to 5 channels one by one, some other person will also come and start some good programs in free to air channel. Because DD free dish watchers are big in numbers, advertise income can also be big.

ये मोदी सरकार की चाल है । मोदी सरकार देश के आम आदमी के साथ खिलवाड़ कर रही है। मोदी और उसके मंत्री गरीबो को लूट रहे है। do not vote for bjp. Aaj tak ki koi bhi sarkar ne aisaa nahi kiya thaa. Desh ki tarakki ke naam par aam aadmi ko lootaa jaa raha.

आज तो भारत के पास बहुत सारे सेट लाइट है. फिर गरीब को भी तो मूवीज सीरियल और खेल देखने का हक़ है. आप लोग एसी कमरों में बैठ कर हमारे मनोरंजन का फैसला नहीं कर सकते. भारत के विकास में हमारा भी उतना ही योगदान है जितना कि आपका.. अब साफ़ हो रहा है के TRAI ने नियम क्यों बदले. मुझे तो लग रहा है के DTH ऑपरेटर ने TRAI से मिल के भरष्टाचार करके ऐसे नियम बनाये ता के हम लोगो को मजबूरी में PAID डिश खरीदनी ही पढ़े
आप से बिनती है के कृपा करके यह चैनल्स दुबारा चालू किये जाये.
Yes ✅

Thanks for posting this useful piece of information and saving a lot of our energy which dth users waste in rescanning channels, searching on the internet the ways to regain them and keeping a check on whether the channels have come back. Your post gave a great clarity to us.

डिडी फ्री डिश सारे प्राईवेट चैनल हटा देने चाहिए
Ye bahoot galat huva hai garib logo bhi nahi chora hai

स्टार प्लस और ज़ी टीवी, सोनी टीवी, ज़ी सिनेमा, स्टारगोल्ड, ज़ीएक्शन, और सारी फ्री डिटीएच चैनल चलाइये।…..
Thik nahi kiya modi nahi jitega…
न्यूज़ का और 10 को चैनल डाल देते फ्री में खाली फ्री में सिर्फ न्यूज़ ही देखेंगे
यह गलत है इस तरह से रिमूव करना चैनल को
डैडी सी डिस से चैनल क्यो हटाये
वापस चालु करो उस का कइ ऊपय
यह बहुत ही गलत हुआ
