Guys,
I am sorry as i promised of posting picture of a BIG dish i saw on a highway as last saturday when i went there; those people have already removed a dish. i couldnt found it on their roof! i didnt bother to ask as those people dont talk properly.
BUT - today while roaming around in a city, i saw 1 more BIG dish and this time i took a picture as soon as i saw it. (I pointed it out with a RED Arrow) Here it is:

Sorry, for very blurry image as i was on my bike and my cell cam is not so good (N 6600).
I then went to ask who took this connection. He is a "paan ka gallawala" (pan shop). I asked, "do you know any dealer in a city who provide a new connection?" and he didnt have any idea at all. (such people never answer properly even if they know that we dont feel to talk more). I knew that he must have a PCO (there was a public phone there too) and he must have got it through that offer and hence i didnt ask from where did you get it.
But, this is really not a good thing what Reliance is doing for DTH. Imagine, a local pan shop people have a connection and we guys are still hunting for it. They even dont know what the hell quality is! (and even what HD content is) and they are watching channels on BIG now! I dont understand why do they offer to such people who even dont know (and dont bother) about quality and technology!
Do they (Reliance Head of DTH) rank their own product on such a lower basis that they have to start with "pan shops" and "pco owners"?
Such a low side mentality...
Any way, hope they do something really BIG to meet our expectations now.
1 thing is sure... which i observed till now.
These hardwares (Dish and STB) i saw there, are all older ones. They are not as shown on their website with a new [BIG] logo on it. Its an old brand logo and even STB is an older one.
So, i guess they had problems with all of them and they may want to launch for public ONLY when they are sure that there is no problem in new hardwares.
When i went to enquire that pan shopkeeper, i saw in a
TV; logo [BIG TV] continuously stays on a top left corner which is really annoying! There was some news going and their logo was disturbing a news headline - which is completely NOT GOOD and NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Hope, they are doing something about it.
yes my friend,you are totally correct, even i feel that Reliance is doing thing in a very slow and stupid way. no website update, no official news about launching.since last 4 days i am also getting irritated with BIG TV, the story is........some one has posted a thread that BIG TV Demo is available in Reliance World out let ( which for their mobile sales and service)i also called CC and got confirmation that yes it is available in RWORLD outlets.since then i have visited 4 outlets, situatated in different parts of delhi, and surprisingly there was no demo or display of BIG TV, even the outlet workers are not aware about such thing.only one outlet was having a display board but that too was without instruments ( TV,STB) . when i asked when u start the demo , the worker of that outlet told me that it will take another 7 days to start.this is the way.... they are entering in to the market.infact....... they should have give connection to the enthuastic ppl of this forum, by this way they can get a good feedback from our side, rather then giving conection to the PANWALA or PCO owner....... you are right , what they know about the DTH or quality , or broadcasting ... they even do not know how to operate it .but............ since we are not a R energy customer , PcO owner or we have also not gone to the NAUCHANDI mela ........ we will not have the connection .... as well.....we have to wait ....... wait........ wait.......wait............this is the only thing we can do....
