South Smart 2190 Cut Open I stay in bangalore my mom stays in hubli(north Karnataka) given the fact that there are too many power cuts happening each time cable operator used to give enough reason to say why its not working.I finally decided to present my mother a DTH connection which will ensure that she can enjoy quality programming i waited for 2 months so that i can compare the rates finally i decided i will go with big tv since it was offereing me about 9 kannada channels under south smart and the launch package made a lot a sence to go for south smart which also has some hindi channels as well Now coming to facts>website shows under this pack there are 152 channels including movies channels and radio(in effect if one excludes the radio and movie around 106 channels)>Truth excluding movie and radio there are 156 channels (that takes grand total to 186+ ;-))>Channels like Zee,Neo Sports,Neo Cricket not available or not shown in web site except for colors >Truth they are all there
