Great to see a TskyHD thread, I had a major ordeal with them during my upgrade to HD which gave me lot of insight.

 

This is specially for old Tsky subscribers, these guys dont have any cancellation policy of the old STB which is your primary card. So what they effectively do is, 1st install you HD box as your secondary connection, then swap the primary to secondary, primary now being the HD box and secondary the old SD one. Then they drop the secondary. But while they do this you have to forfeit your annual super saver packs, you would however retain any balances in your account. Their reason for this is that the annual packs are enabled on the primary connection, and the balance is on the subscriber ID. So clearly there is no good upgrade plan. I really had a bad tiff with them, with me recording their statements for record.

 

But the brighter side is, we all have been waiting for HD so long, and the pricing is amazing, the video quality is very nice. In last 5 days that I've watched the HD channels, I just dont feel like watching the normal channels anymore. All the HD content are eye popping, be it Discovery, Nat Geo, or the balls rolling in FIFA & wimbledon. :angry:

 

So, if your TV supports HD, go for it, you wont regret ! Just hoped Tsky would have been more clear & open on the upgrade plans for existing subscriber.

 

EDIT: Also wanna add, I have 2 Tsky and 1 DishTV SD STBs spare with no use, I would be glad if any one wants it and can pick up.

They initially quoted me 5 days for box delivery, then delivered it in 48 hrs. But activation took another 24 hrs because of all that issues.

For now TS HD as they have more channels. Plus a promise of all HD channels FREE for a year for existing subscribers. That and I have both TS (SD) as well as Airtel (SD) at home and prefer TS any given day. :(

this is sh*t...i recently got tata sy + and now hd comes

 

i called up the customer service to ask about the hd package and box

 

so they said all i can do is put away my tata sky+ box or give it to someone and get a new hd box so i have to change the box again

 

but then now if i do take the new box which doesnt make any sense since i bought sky+ a while back for 5k....evenif i do take it i cant record pause rewind or play just hd

I called them on Thursday, they said nothing for existing customers has been planned yet.
