I watched DishTV on TOSHIBA LCD and also operated it to see how it functions.
I really tell you guys, DishTV sucks big time. Menus are horrible, picture and voice are just not up to the mark.
Now i realize, no matter how many faults BIG
TV has but it is the BEST choice for now.
Lets give them some more time and it would come out as the best provider (may be we will talk again on 12 Nov 2009 and scenario would be changed).
We are over reacting on a new player. BIG TV is still a new player compared to
Tata Sky and DishTV. Lets give them some more months to grow and improve.
Even AIRTEL is brand new player, than BIG.
How are they are able to give Good Service than BIG in all, aspects, except for the Number of channels, in the Inaugral offer.
Airtel thinks on Long Term customers, where as BIG just want numbers.
God knows, how much people will keep BIG after free 1 Year Subscription, as their monthly subs are very high, Starting 175 Rs Month [ South India ]
Most of my friends who bought BIG are calculating in a different way.
They are getting plenty of channels for 1 Year at Just 180 rs / Month [ 2190/12] and after that Nothing for 175 Rs. So They will throw it out after a year and go for another who gives better deal.
Reliance is following the same mobile phone strategy which will not work here.
I still remeber 1000's of Reliance phones floating in Koovum River [ Famous Drainage River in Chennai, once known as Buckingham Canal, by British], when the people were asked pay heavy monthly rents.
