DTH auction in Pakistan held in 2016.

After years of Corona Virus excuses, on CITIZEN Portal, PEMRA reply is:

"Chinese company withdrawn DTH application, not interested to get licence any more. Shahzad Sky given one year time to launch DTH, deadlline will given expiry 21 january, 2026."

For Not Launching DTH...

I am complaining them to launch DTH from 2016.

Almost 100 complaints, each complaint every few months.

They always said DTH will be launched in few months, mostly excuse was Corona Virus,
1st time they are saying Chinese company withdrew application,

They are always giving deadlines, last time SIFC gave deadline. 1.5 month already passed. I heard every year warning.

Most interestingly, Shahzad Sky have no links SKY NETWORK.

There might be Noon League or Establishment on back of Shahzad Sky, why they are allowing extension, again and again.
DTH can even be launch on any foreign satellite.

I want pak dth only for Urdu language National Geographic and BBC Earth like channels.

Let’s hope this year something actually happens — although we’ve said that every year since 2016!

i only wanted Pakistani dth due to National Geographic, Fox Life like channels in Urdu dub.
Because i am not interested in India and their media..

Yes. Pakistani politicians are most stupid in the world.
DTH best time was 2000-2007.

If you have 8 Mbps (10+ recommend), you do not need DTH.
Streaming services are best, i recommend TUBI with US ip. Good Content and Stable, Free Service

Then IPTV too good. Even budgeted ones.
JellyFin, Plex are also good for streaming, if server owner has good quantity of content.

Pakistani all news channels live service available on youtube. HD dramas also there.

Good Android TV device+Led tv or android tv is enough.

There is too much censorship in Pakistan and in other asian countries, even in India tv channels.

If you torrent addict, try to watch Hollywood, Italian, Spanish and French movie.
Hollywood and Italian are good. Not all but good quantity in good movies.
Korean thrillers are also good.

Stay Away Indian movies.

Meanwhile PTV launched their terrestrial DTH with box. This will never launch

Sky Shahzad is another hoax. Just to give the public a useless hope
