  ya i have been watching sahara as well..its a good channel...seems to be right on with what's happening in india..where the rest of the channels are behind...zee is three weeks behind..sony is a week behind..the way to tell is to start watching the serials.
  
  yup..i thought abt. buying direct tv..but the whole buying american channels with it isn't appealing for my fam yet...cuz we already have cable..and then it gets too expensive..so anyway...it would have been nice if dish network would have bought rights to star.

  Well if you will be still watching Zee Cine and other "original 4", I'm sure you'll still get to enjoy the Baba's. Man....there should be a rule to ban them!!!! How much money have they given to these networks???? Geeeeezzzzz!!!!
  
  Anyway, SAW (South Asia World, with cutie Shareen Bhaan), American Desi, and the new Sahara feeds are without the Babas. Thank God!!!!
  
  Well it's unfortunate that DirecTV has Star networks, but it's not that they have a deal with Star, but DirecTV itself is owned by Star's parent company. If Rupert Murdoch has his ways, don't be surprised to see Dish Network being bought out my DirecTV in a few years.
  
  What sucks now is that Dish has screwed its cricket package, and now DirecTV offers an awesome Cricket deal. But as Poonam says, why would I want to buy additional American programming, when I only want certain features????

  Poonam - I thought, Sahara and Samay will fade out as soon as the weekend is over....but they r still there :D
  
  Ankur - There is another Ad, which is a real torture, more than freakin Baba Ads. I will dedicate an entire post on it, I have even found out about the owner of that product.
  
  Amit - Thanks for visitng my site. After reading your comment, I did the obvoius thing, googled for Shareen Bhaan, Google corrected me as she is Shereen Bhaan. Is American Desi a channel? Never heard bout it b4.
  
  Didn't know that Direct TV was Rupert's company. I also heard about the DirecTV gettin aggressive with their ckt coverage. My cousin told me that they charge something like $400 per year for 200 or may be 300 hrs. of ckt :-? I am not sure about it though.

  Gaurav,
  
  Add more to the foray of Indian channels on Dish Network. Surprise, surprise, as I was flipping through the channels I got Aaj Tak and Headlines Today. These came out of nowhere, and from what I hear, B4U Music is to be coming on air pretty soon!!!!
  
  Being of Marathi extraction, I wonder when Zee Marathi will hit the air......

  I would like to know that in India what is the name of the channel and on what no. does SAMAY is shown because I desperately need the show time for Scientist Munir Khan where Ms.Tabassum interviews Mr.Munir Khan. Thanks a lot. Zainab.
