If ESPN and *Cric are added, am gonna take the HD the next day itself!
Hmmm . . . not sure how exactly Hathway functions as a corporation. Called up Hathway Helpline regarding Nat Geo Wild HD and Zee HD addition in Mumbai. The person was unaware that these HD channels existed on the Hathway network. When I insisted Hathway had these channels he went off to check systems and inquire with others in the office. He came back to inform me that Hathway infact didn't have these channels. When I pointed out the fact that Hathway HD customers in other cities had these channels he insisted back that I must be mistaken and it was not possible and rubbished my claims.
While I understand it may take a while for these channels to launch all over etc., what annoys me is the lack of information. More importantly it indicates that since the Mumbai guys dont even know the existence of these channels, there is no work underway regarding their addition. Else I would have been told that its WIP and the channel additions may take a while. This guy was adamant that these channels did not exist on Hathway. And it wasn't this guy alone. I could hear him asking several people in the backgroud. His tone and confidence indicated it was the office's consensus.
