Sony Rox HD

Sony Rox HD was a Hindi music channel and the de facto HD counterpart of Sony Mix, but with a more upmarket look and a focus on newer songs (Sony Mix gives equal importance to modern and classic Hindi songs). It lasted for nearly two years before suddenly closing down on New Year's Eve 2018. Also, on 30 March 2020, Sony Mix itself will cease broadcasting, marking the exit of Sony Pictures Networks India from the music genre.

2017–2018

Launched on 15 January 2017. Closed down on 31 December 2018 along with Sony's other HD-only channels Sony Le Plex HD and Sony Ten Golf HD. This left MTV Beats HD as the only Hindi HD music channel in India. (Another Hindi HD music channel, MTunes HD, had closed down in 2017.)
