== History ==
On 6 February 2017 [[Discovery Communications]] (DC) launched the [[DSport]] channel to broadcast different kind of sporting actions in [[Indian Subcontinent]]. During the launch former MD of [[Star Sports (Indian TV network)|ESPN Star]] and former CEO of [[Dish TV]] RC Venkateish had joined the channel to work as content provider (acquisition) for the channel.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Laghate|first=Gaurav|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/media/entertainment/media/discovery-launches-sports-channel-dsports-in-india/articleshow/56997525.cms?from=mdr|title=Discovery launches sports channel DSPORT in India|date=2017-02-06|work=The Economic Times|access-date=2020-02-18}}</ref> Since then Venkateish (owner of Lex Sportel) acquired sporting rights of multiple events which were broadcast on DSport, until November 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dreamdth.com/community/threads/dsport-removed-the-word-discovery.126661/|title=Breaking News - DSport removed the word "Discovery"|last=Roy|first=Tuhin|date=2019-12-06|website=DreamDTH - Technology Discussion Forums|language=en-US|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-02-18}}</ref> In January 2020 Discovery applied a name change of their sports channel to [[Eurosport]] which was challenged by Lex Sportel as the one who made the uplinking license deal of the channel.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportbusiness.com/news/lex-sportel-vision-challenges-discoverys-move-for-control-of-dsport/|title=Lex Sportel Vision challenges Discovery’s move for control of DSport|last=McCullagh|first=Kevin|date=2020-01-13|website=SportBusiness|language=en-US|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-02-18}}</ref> But [[Delhi High Court]] went in favor of Discovery and as a result Lex Sportel went out of the deal. Then Lex Sportel started showing ads about the launch of their new channel and a scroll text on the DSport channel that the contents of the channel belongs to Lex Sportel's server based in [[Hong Kong]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dreamdth.com/community/threads/euro-sports-content-on-dsport-lex-sportel-remove.127723/post-1513152|title=Breaking News - euro sports content on Dsport, lex sportel removed|last=Singh|first=Gurmeet|date=2020-01-20|website=DreamDTH - Technology Discussion Forums|language=en-US|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-02-18}}</ref> until 24 January when Discovery took full control of the channel. Though this was scheduled to take effect on 14 February so Lex Sportel again went to court and Discovery took control of the channel three weeks before the original date, but the court dismissed the matter.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.insidesport.co/court-restrains-lex-sportel-from-using-discovery-brand-dsport/|title=Discovery wins Round 1 in DSport trade mark dispute with Lex Sportel - Sports Business News|last=Agnihotri|first=Shweta|date=2020-01-29|website=InsideSport|language=en-gb|access-date=2020-02-18}}</ref> Finally on 28 January Lex Sportel launched their own channel 1Sports.
