Hi All,
I was looking for contact nos of FDR media all over the web, and I found this.
Both the channels, mehnditv and BOTI, does not have any programs. FDR are is a big time cheater. I subscribed to Mehndi just after the preview was over. For few days there were different shows and then, just a repeat cooking shows. I cancelled Mehndi and subscribed to BOTI last week, but same cheating on that too. The schedule on Rogers shows movie, and other shows but in realtime only cooking show recordings 24/7. I called Rogers and they said it is channel owners responsibility to adhere to the schedule and Rogers cant do anything. I am going to cancel it. FDR web site is a single page site. No contact numbers or address. Please do not waste money on this fake channels. I don't want to say it, but it is true, \\\" Desi after all\\\". Chor saale..

I completely echo and support Guruji's post.

we subscribed for both Mehendi and BOTI with rogers at the cost of additional 10$ per month on top of the existing fees.

1) After couple of days, it became very apparent that the same songs, same shows, same soaps, same movies are recycled into a endless loop, day after day.

2) The FDR media or whoever is behind these channels are curiously non-responsive and missing in action to receive feedback.

We disconnected after a month of usage.

I hope mr. FDR Media is listening to this feedback.

regards

Sri.

I have FDR media office address somewhere. They are (or were?) based at queens quay in TO downtown. I know some personnel too, if someone really needs to contact them, I will try and find out from my inbox.

Thanks desi28 . Please don't waste your time to find their address. I am pretty sure they have disappeared . More than FDR, I am disappointed with the response from Rogers. I told them that it is Rogers I dealt with and it is Rogers who collects the money. Rogers must take responsibility for the content telecast through their network and subscribers are not supposed to deal directly with the content producers. I am sending a written complaint to Rogers. What pisses me off is the fact that how easily someone can cheat us and we can't do anything but to cancel the channel. Anyway, l just wanted to warn you all Desis about the scam.
