Zeehunter Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Tata Sky - 1) 8 HD channels on TS 2) 150 for 2nd box 3) On Tata Sky you could even buy single channels and cancel out channels you don't want from the package ( but at the end it becomes costly if U have a family coz their needs are different) 4) Response time very good .. Way better than Videocon and airtel SD STB (dunno about HD STB) 5) Customer service flawless .. Pawns the competition And on Tata Sky , annual mega package comes for 5500 .. U get all SD and HD channels free with it 12 Showcase movies free And 4 active services free .. Active Cooking is free (good for your mom/wife ) :biguellowgrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achilles Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Wait, the response time of software on TS HD is better than others? I thought it was crap. Dish TV is wayyy faster and there's no lag. At all. There is another niggly stupid thing wrong with TS, don't know if it's there for others too. For TS to switch to a channel using the number pad you have to press the exact number. In Dish TV it works much better and in an intuitive manner. You can press any number on the number pad and the STB will switch to the nearest one it finds. For e.g.. if you press 444 and the nearest available channel is 500, it will switch to 500. It's a really small thing but it makes a huge usability difference.

Zeehunter Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 i have the two year pack the price protection pays off a little bit! Awwww yeah! When annual pack was launched it was for 5k And then within few months it was increased to 5500 Saved 500 bucks while my friends paid 5.5k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parvinder Singh Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Correction: pack increase is rs. 400 instead of 500 that I posted earlier. And most probably the new channels that are to be introduced on TS would be sd channels. My TS hd plus set top box is installed and all working today itself. Service was lightening fast. But wtf, chata sky doesn't provide universal remote Airtel remote was life saver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parvinder Singh Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 The user interface and response time of TS is certainly better than the airtel dvr that I used. My only complain: no universal remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parvinder Singh Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I tried VoD service of TS+ and bought few movies like Andaaz apna apna, bawarchi and chalte chalte for Rs.25 each thinking that they would all stay in my HDD forever and i could watch them with a click of a button. BUT after few days i see an expiry date attached to each of these movies, of approx 2 weeks from date of DL. WTFISTHISSHEET. Why take them back when i paid for them.
