nice to hear this news and i hope people of Bhutan will enjoy.
thanx……..
is it legal or illigal?? what is BICMA gona do now??
wow so nice to hear this hot news. People of BHUTAN Dish karo enjoy it.
Is a nice & good news. However, BICMA chould give a clear rules before poor innoscent get into trouble both in financial and rescourses.
Please comments whether DISH TV is legal in Bhutan
please try to write in detail,that their situation.
thank you.
That’s great news.I am a frustrated customer of cable TVs because we are given no option.There is no consumer rights in Bhutan and these cable operators are exploiting every Bhutanese like what Bmobile once did.Some channels were banned in Thimphu but it’s availble in other dzongkhags.Where is the uniformity?Are people in other Dzongkhags not Bhutanese?BICMA has done nothing despite people’s repeated out cry.Every individual should have the freedom to do what he or she likes unless otherwise illegal.That’s what democracy is all about. Yes, I agree that some channels does change our mentality but it’s everyone’s reponsibility to give our positive judgement to it.
It is good for the people for those rural places. Theres no doubt about it. And also as Letho mentioned all the people deserve to have access to all the channels if paid for. We get tired of watching all those same bollywood movies. We in Thimphu do need channels like Ten Sports and more. Or else Shah Rukh Khan
in Urban Bhutan
this is how our people will walk 10 miles ahead…..and BICMA should not enter fare now…please just dont enter fare…..for gods sake…..enjoy people….
wow!!! it’s green signal for rural Bhutan.
Wat a delight n ecstatic moment to hear… The people did the rite thing…. No men should wait for the system to change rather its our duty to change the system… Make things happen provided that it doesn’t effect the mindset of people….
The Bhutanese system so far were pathetic.
That’s a long waiting good news for the remote location ! we shouild rememeber that we need to be exposed to the outer world to get updated in life irrespective of the age limits.
we r on the way….great to know that……Wow awesome
In this globalised world such a change will make a greater impact. It has happened now and and I am sure many will follow. The path is now cleared. Now our fellow citizens will be well informed about the recent happenings both locally and globally.
Wow that’s good news for the people in Rural areas. Finally Bhutan is becoming digitize. Good to hear such news. Wish even broad band reaches soon to such areas. Then Bhutan will rock in digitized world.
Thats what everyone of us awaited for,now people esp. students in rural area will know what are the latest changes going around in the world and they, unlike us won’t get lost while seeing all the new things in Urban areas because they have already seen it in TV channels. We as a public should not be concerned about it’s legality unless it has some draw backs to the people watching cos not more then help it won’t be of any harm to the people around watching programs in the rural………………………Cheers to Dish KAra,Wish KAro
that suits best for bhutan where settlements are scattered and having a cable service will be difficult…stretching out all over and making the environment look more ugly. moreover, cable service lack innovations…..no maintenance, no regular check ups….just collect monthly rentals……and im still wondering why ppl are made to pay Nu. 1500 just to have a card in our name while they dont have to do any operational work for connection…this is incase of where there is cable line streched out already….
This is the handsome news for all Bhutanese people and if it is possible we all would like to follow your footprints and legendary pass to our upgrowing generation. And indeed it was the wide opportunity to exposed to the outer world……..any how thanks at your apex…..
Good to know all these, but will be able to use dish TV instead of cable TV coz we r near the town,
Who cares SRK? we should be away from bollyhood movies and TV soaps. I hate programs like ‘mujay is jungle sey bachawo’. All fake… if they really want to do do it like ‘man vs wild’.
We have 90% unwanted tv chennels,w e don’t want to click on it. programs like star plus, sony, zee and many more like wise are just advising our bhutanese ladies to do the same – bad news for us. When is thew time that we should learn for betterment?…
Don’t care SRK at all, no actors in my joy list. Common talk about Obama! Talk about China planning tio minimize the executions, talk about troops being withdrawn from iraq and afganistan, talk about big players are bad players.
there was a rumour that the BICMA would allow the bhutanese to go for other options in tv viewing through legalising DTH.
Where has the BICMA goneÞ Its time that the concerned authority take the fullest measure to let the bhutanese enjoy the freedom of their choice.
Empowering our teachers was a sublime vision initiated by the MoE in collabaration with the bank. well we see that it wqas a noble endeveour but when are their computers going to be ath their hands.
time to realise the ministry’s dream of making the teachers technologically informed.
it is such an interesting views to all of our urban lifes that will keep them connected to the outer world. but it seems that every part of this visions should give more notice of advantage than keeeping them in awaiting.
Wipe out the name of SRK from rural Bhutan!!! Don’t mess with dirt!
i mean don’t mess Bhutan with DIRT!
Being a citizen of bhutan. I am out side the country since 1992(when i was 6 years old) but than also iam very glad to hear the news that the people of druk are haveing the dish TV in the rural area.
Recently resettled in USA
it has been both good and bad for bhutanese people to havethis very knews.i would suggest that it will better if details like what he will be doing while being in rural bhutan and also state clearly do’s & don’ts
it is good to hear that dish tv should is infuencing in ruler…i did like to say one thing that dish tv should not only be introduced in ruler but also it needs to be legal to towns and cities……cables r too expensive and with limited channels but where as in dish the channels are provided according to the customers need and on top of that it is a once investments….i support that there r much good education channels in dish tv so we can give youngs a good future for tomorrow…
is sharukh mad!
I m 4rm rural excited wid dis news.customers will rush for the best and cheapest services of their choice, that is the law of economics. we r paying and not the cable operators
well…..i think this introduction may divert rural individuals far away from our age old traditions.
Having a Dish TV is better than cable line. BICMA, says people are not allowed to used dish tv but why?, are they listening to cable operator association?…we have a right and we can use dish tv even in place like thimphu and phuentsholing. we are paying for it not the operators. this a world of 21st century, everything canot be control by a concerned authority, the day wil come that bhutanes should eat only a red rice, since it is grown and cultivated in bhutan. are we going to do that?………………..if dish tv is not allowed in bhutan then BICMA is not doing the right job.
To provide the cable line in every conner of the country is impossible,but having dish tv is the only main source to entertain the peoples of the rural area.therefore Thoda aur wish karo. Dish karo
such a lovely news yeah king khan visited our royal kingdom
IT IS NOT SHAHRUKH WHICH LET RURAL BHUTAN LET TO ADOPT DISH TV…IT IS THERE NECESSITY N ENTERTAINMENT….SAY IN RURAL BHUTAN..WHERE EXCESS TO CABLE TV IS FAR…THEY WORK WHOLE DAY IN FIELD..AND ..AT NIGHT WHEN THEY GATHER AT HOME ..THEY WANT SOME ENTERTAINMENT..THEY CAN’T ALWAYS EAT AND SLEEP..THEY HAVE THEIR LIFE…AND IF EDUCATED PERSON IS THERE IN FAMILY THEN THEY CAN WATCH NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC,DISCOVERY.HISTORY AND LOTS OF NEWS CHANNEL WHICH KEEP THEM UPDATED WITH THE HAPPENNING IN THE OTHER PART OF WORLD..THEY CAN PICK UP NEW LANGUAGES..
I THINK EVERYTHING HAVE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES..IT DEPEND ON INDIVIDUAL TO PICK UP RIGHT THING FOR THEMSELVES….WHETHER IT IS DISH OR CABLE….INFORMATION IN PEOPLE RIGHT…..SO I LIKE PEOPLE TO WISH KARO N DISH KARO….AS EACH OF US DIFFERENT TALENT TO SUIT OURSELVES.
In my village in the mountains of Greece, we have managed to put our own dishes otherwise it can be very isolated in winter, so good thing that this village managed to do it. I think everyone should have a right to choose if they want to watch the world or not. No one is forcing them to turn it on and if you knew before years ago when we had only 2 government channels, we had no option but to listen to the dictatorship army music when it used to turn on in the afternoon and what propaganda we had!! Mikis Teodorakis the composer was in jail and other great composers and authors either were in jail or escaped out of the country, but this did not stop us from gaining our freedom. I think movies help build people’s minds without realising it not just about being great actors but being great people in a real world. I say to my husband for these movies to become are ideas that have happened or try to happen to make a better world.
Its nice & happy to know that King Khan is now in our rural area where entertainment is must after a days hard work to refreash. eg.In mi village a cable operater charge Nu.6000/- only for connection charge and the monthly charge of Nu.300/-. with which we can fix a dish TV at a cost of Nu.2600/- & a monthly charge that of a cable TV with more than 200 channel to view in dish Tv where as only 42(maximum) on cable TV. I think BICMA should let/allow our people to have a right to use it &just to stop them from Migeration.
I wonder, why Bhutan is totally against Dish TV. i still remember they banned MTVs, weird isn’t?
wai sob machab.Therebari laba chin TV Druk Gyalkhab na TV mingo. Those who are doing TV business are the enemies of the rural Bhutanese. Instead of letting them involved in Mani and other spiritual works they are alluring them to TV. This is bad.
It is good to have all these dish tv. World and technology is very ahead. and bhutan people are still back in century with a few channel and radio. Now the world is ahead and we have to deal accordingly not breaking the rule of Chathrin Chenmo…..
This may be dangerous to the rulers of Bhutan as the cable TV will spread the hunger of freedom and information about democratic freedom. The Bhutanese people living inside their own country may know the reality of their own country while they compare it with others.
always go for perfect mass!
Hope human rights do prevail in rural Bhutan……..it will update them and know really what the world is and King khan is what they will believe.
good news to us. we ll get the taste and preferences of the servicses. the government should take part in the business to ensure that it should reach as far remote as possible yhe the least cost. now the people of bhutan should taste the reality of democracy. people will relised when you made a compare with other countries in any cases either both the directions.
good for people
It is a real good step by the government as this will help the people to learn lot of things along with entertainment. And I do not believe that this will create any negative impression amoung th e common mass as as some belive, because the Bhutnees are proud of their country and their values. I totally agree with Tenzin,’ I THINK EVERYTHING HAVE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES..IT DEPEND ON INDIVIDUAL TO PICK UP RIGHT THING FOR THEMSELVES….WHETHER IT IS DISH OR CABLE’. Hats off to you Tenzin for that.
wow,gud 2 hear that but it will b more thankful if u can put BBS on it cuz old people like 2 know alot bout bhutan.thanx.bye.
