Well... our so called politicians couldnt solved 3G stuff (they dont give licences and this and that - 100s of excuses they give to ask for more money) then how can we expect HD soon!!!I guess, it will come only when our kids will be able to register on IBF lol or may be who knows we may enjoy it in next birth only hahahaha

Sun Direct HD

10000 + taxes starting cost + rs. 100 / month / HD channel

though i have a full HD tv, i'm still going to say bye bye HD (for time being... )

What will we watch on HD???- saas bahu dramas- crap news (so called - breaking news)- repeat songs- D grade repeat movies (SET MAX - Aamdani Atthanni Kharcha Rupaiya - they shown it 1000s of times)- old programmes Thats all.Only sports and discovery channels are worth watching on HD.

^^ You're right. Why don't they ban these dumb saas bahu serials? :SDiscovery HD would be awesome!

why not movies? HBO, star movies & co. wouldn't mind paying for movie channels, sports channels & discovery & other such informative channels but has to be some reasonable price not like rs. 100 / month / HD channel.6 sports channels + 4 movie channels + 4 informative channels = 1400 + other channels cost nearly 350 + taxes = nearly 1950 per month.i.e. also when these channels start in HD first of all

Wow.. what a list... movie channels, sport channels, wildlife channels... even if they give us all at 500 Rs. then do we have time to keep them watching throughout a month?Seriously, i dont have time to watch even our regular SD channels. I hardly watch 1 hour in the morning and almost half an hour at night. Thats all.I will only buy HD when they will give STB at the price of existing regular STB and HD channels at the cost of half of what i am paying these days (so i guess, i am not going to watch HD for next couple of months) I would rather buy an HD dvd player and will watch HD movies of my choice (and will spend 400-500 on it) rather on the programmes i dont know what they will show me for that particular month!!!So... HD (channels) are not so welcome.
