more-inThe Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation (TACTV) managing director on Thursday sought action against Multi System Operators (MSOs) which were thwarting TACTV’s operations and flouting rules regarding transmission of analog cable signals. Viswanathan, TACTV MD J. Kumaragurubaran said, “TACTVs digitisation efforts are being thwarted by the continued Analog Cable TV transmission/re-transmission by other MSOs in Chennai”. The transmission of analog signals, he said, was in violation of Section 4A of the Cable Television (Regulation) Act, 1995. The letter, however, did not provide details of defaulting MSOs. Authorised officers such as District Magistrate, Sub-divisional Magistrate and Commissioners of Police had powers under Section 11 to seize the equipment of the defaulting Cable TV operators for violating Section 4A of the Act, Mr. Kumaragurubaran said.
