But one thing which surprises me is that IOL and MTNL have different tariff plans and different channel lists for Delhi...

How can u say?

i own TATA SKY and i have to pay Rs. 300 for watching all channels (about 110). And, IPTV gives 150 channels and only 199 per month. lol

abeeeeeeeeeee....
I was talking about MTNL IPTV service and IOL IPTV service...
IOL has tied up with MTNL/BSNL for providing the service...
Still MTNL Delhi IPTV site shows only 52 channels and higher tariff...
I wasnt comparing IPTV and DTH...lol
