“The decision to suspend the five channels comes as a result of Antena Group’s unacceptable conditions and prices which would have repercussions for Focus Sat’s clients”, according to the company’s press release.

Because customer experience is a priority is a priority for Focus Sat, starting with February 6, all Focus Sat clients with the basic “Family” subscription can enjoy the following Channels:Discovery Science, Discovery World, History Channel, National Geographic Wild si Bollywood TV. (…) We believe that Antena Group’s rejection and their way of approaching this situation is unacceptable, given that we are being asked to raise the subscriber cost four times.
