sometimes half of the movie/screen is not visible only, especially the golden oldies :P
 
exactly... i make sure to put all the advertisers on ignore list. irritate me and get ignored.
 
Btw who encript the channels? Cable walla or broadcaster and who gets the money Cable walla or channelsI've heard one of the cable operator in our locality is still giving all channels @ 100, he has only taken 250 rs as set top box security. How it is possible? if broadcaster are not encrytping the signal, has to be local cable wallah then ?
 
It's quite possible as far as the deposit goes. There are two schemes available:
[*]Rs. 30 p.m. rental for STB with deposit of Rs. 999 that will 'depreciate' @ Rs. 12.50 every month.
[*]Rs. 45 p.m. rental for STB with deposit of Rs. 250 that will 'depreciate' @ Rs. 3.00 p.m.
[/list]So a Rs. 250 deposit is very much legitimate. However, he could not be airing 'all' channels for Rs. 100 only. The basic charge is Rs. 77 for all free-to-air channels (not including tax) so maybe that is what you have mistaken it for. In addition you have to pay Rs. 5 for every extra channel.

It's sucky because it means that if you want most decent channels then you will have to fork out almost Rs. 300 per TV p.m. So for my 3 TVs the monthly bill would actually come to around Rs. 1000 after tax!!! Suddenly I wish I had taken the 6 months free offer form Tata Sky. :( For now I am banking on Airtel IPTV on coming out soon, and also on it being good.
