I am in Ghorpadi area. But I don't have TruHD. If I ever move to HD, it will be
Tata Sky HD+ for sure. Saw it a friends house and the quality and interface was fantastic.
My 6-month long saga finally came to an end yesterday. Many technicians came and went. One of them suggested that I keep the STB outside the
TV cabinet so that it would be better cooled. That didnt help. Finally, one smart fellow told us that our VC card was faulty. I had no idea how he determined that. The condition here was that a replacement VC card would cost me Rs. 400. I told the service center that I would pay only if the problem did indeed get fixed considering I had already paid close to Rs. 2000 for all the replacements done. That was not acceptable to them. So I told them I was going with TataSky. Finally, some manager type person agreed. So they came and changed my card. Pairing with the new card took around 3 hours. Lo and behold, no pixellation, whatsover. Simply unbelievable. I have to pinch myself to believe that the problem has indeed gone away.
So now, I have new Dish, new STB, new LNB, new cable and finally a new VC card. Need to still pay the Rs. 400. Apart from the money, the amount of headache and numerous technicians (duffers) that I had to endure was priceless (to use a term from a
credit card ad campaign).
Hoping that my story might benefit someone someday.
