Nice Update. So you planning for Hathway HD

----------

I subscribed ordinary local cable tv. It has picture noise many times. In digital cable tv (like hathway) you face problem of picture noise ( spotted picture / looking bad spots) ?

Never in Digital Cable. Yes many a times in Analog Cable TV
 
Does hathway cut off several times like ordinary analog cable tv? Is there parameters like dth stb frequency, fec, polarity horizon / vertical etc. to tune / scan channels? Thanks.
 
Yes, Most of the things are there. I don't remember about the Polarity but rest all features are available.
 
The Hyderabad Hathway says they dont have any info about its launch date yey (in Hyd) but most likely in september...

Regarding Pricing, Still Cable Leads. No of Channels @ low price is unbeatable .
yep it sure is... and most importantly the local channels are on it... We got 15+ Local News channels but on DTH platform we hardly get to see 4-5 channels..

Got through the SA cell today. He didn't have pricing details on the box or channels. Apparently Hathway hasn't announced it officially yet. All he knew was that HD channels would cost more than the 6 bucks a normal channel costs. They have about 8 real HD channels and they would be totally ad free according to him. There are supposed to be 12-15 other HD-like channels - not real HD. So maybe unscaled ones. He said the complete roll out with bookings and delivery should take least a couple of weeks more.
200-250 should be fair price.. considering we the present one ranges between 160-180 in hyderabad..
I dont know about others, I am willing to shell out that money!!
 
Comcasts Xfinity is awesome(just got it). Hathway if it wished could have something similar.

Presently I was shelling 280 . And in dth, its 440. So even if they provide HD Channels in least than 440, that would be a fair deal !!!
 
Cable with STB is really good, I have one, its the best with clear picture (for 21")Yet to take HDTV in India as still not all channels are in HD. Hope to take local cable with HD STB, value for money!
 
If ur Cable guy is good & they can give u HD STB, then theres nothing like it. U dont have to face any sort of weather outages. Yes outages are low in HD DTH, but still if that gets eliminated its an added advantage!@ Mascot....I think the other way when i subscribe to channels. I see the expenditure i wud have incurred if i was on Cable line. :DWe incurred 300pm on that line, and right now i am spending 314 pm - the additional 14 can be counted as expenditure for recording facility!! Hehe.
 
Spoke to the hathway person of my area, he said the infrastructure was all ready and they are planning to launch hd channels from the dussera!
