Dish TV has also been asked to show ESPN the manner in which it is maintaining its 'India Cricket Pack'.
ESPN Software India, a sister concern of ESPN had issued two public notices on November 5 and November 12 this year for discontinuing giving signals to the DTH operator and alleged Dish TV has not signed a subscription agreement. It also alleged that Dish TV has not paid subscription fee.
