Dish DTH to offer free set-top boxes

[draog]

If anybody is going to unsubscribe the dishtv... do not throw away the set top boxes ( stb )... i heard that the reliance big tv have a secret plans to convert those stbs to their stbs.. actually thae have to just install their software to these stbs to use as big tv and we only have to buy the viewing card and an lnb from the reliance.....
And also we can use these stbs as the c band receivers for this we have to installl the c band software... ( ask the local deler for the same.. also if you go and askt eh dishtv stb service centers and ask them to install that old software they had in 2005 0r 2006 and we can use it as a c band receiver. They will do this for free..( the softawre installation).

R U ure about the Dishtv-stb to Big-TV stb conversion is just by software? I though Dishtv is on MPEG2 and Bigtv is going to be on MPEG4 and hence the hardware in STB also matters... What do you guys say?

I was visited by Accts. Mgr of ANDROMEDA MARKETING PVT. LTD. near Pinky Theater, Andheri East, Mumbai 400 059 (tel: +22 6710 4168 / 3991) who is making special short time offers to those buildings where Tata Sky dishes have been installed some time back. The offer is: Rs. 1,499 for 'digicomp' box, installation and wiring free, 60 movies till 30th Nov free. All taxes inclusive, activation in 24 hours, with payment to be made by cheque to: M/s TALK MARKETING after activation.The best package of channels is: Rs. 260 per month for Super Saver Pack, which has 'Family Pack' plus some English channels, totalling altogether about 120 channels. They also have 'South Value Pack' for Rs. 260. The key is one has to phone in and book your code by noon on Monday 22nd June. This offer seems to be made for West Suburban Mumbai. It is not clear why cheque is made to Talk Marketing. What is their connection to TataSky Ltd, etc. It seems strange that offer is valid for such short time of ten days, says the officer. He reached my housing complex only yesterday and now says offer is valid for the two days left till Monday.Can anyone justify this? Is this gunuine? I am unable to logon to tatasky[dot]com right now, for some strange reason.
