Broadcasting sector regulator TRAI today asked all cable TV subscribers under phase III of digitisation drive to get Set Top Boxes (STBs) to avail uninterrupted TV services before the deadline of December 31, 2015.
The regulator in a statement here said that after metros in Phase I and 38 cities in Phase II, other urban areas, including municipal corporations and municipalities, fall under phase III of the digitisation drive.
TRAI also said that in a meeting on December 1, it had found that that the progress of seeding has been good and a large number of customers are availing the benefits of digitisation.
"Consumers of urban areas who are still receiving cable TV services without STB are advised to avail and install STBs before cut-off date in order to receive uninterrupted TV services," TRAI added in its statement.
