Some points mentioned to think about the future of
Tata Sky
1)The price of different packs provided by
tata sky are very high compared to other DTH like airtel,sun,big and dish
tv
Other DTH providers have added hell lot of new channels and the latest one to
talk about is reliance big tv,which has added 15 regional channels like adithya tv,kairali we...etc.Sun direct has moved a step ahead by adding channels like fox,fox crime,nat geo wild,baby tv and in coming weeks even channels like fox sports and nat geo
music will be made available
Moreover with such a high price,tata sky should provide more channels and should create different packs with addons so that customers get better options
But the same cannot happen with tata sky because of the following reasons::
a)tata sky does not have space to add regional channels.
For ex,if we have a look at the electronic program guide,the regional channel count begins from channel 801 and between any 2 regional channel groups,there is not much space,in this way,tata sky can add only 3 more malayalam channels(form 861-870..only 3 more space is left),but there are many more malayalam channels available,similar is the case with kannada channels,tata sky cannot add any more channels in this group and there are almost 10 more kannada channels available
b)tata sky can improve on the above mentioned point,by shifting the regional channel numbers
for ex,they can start there regional channel count form channel no 750 and can keep more space between any 2 regional channel groups like 750-780 for tamil,780 to 810 for telugu and so on
c)but point (B) is merely impossible to be done as shifting channels and changing channel number will cost tata sky more which in turn will be taken from customers itself by charging them more
d)Tata SKy is rival with ZEE turner group and big tv.that is the reason why no more channels from zee group are coming in,popular channels like zee talkies and zee sports are still not there.even big tv is going to start there own new channels,we are very sure that even those channels will not come to tata sky.
2)Whenever any email is sent by customers regarding addition of channels,tata has only one reply and that is a)we are in talks with the channel,b)we will let u know by sending an alert,c)there are more than 400 channels and tata sky will add only the popular ones
3)Are zee talkies and Zee sports not popluar channels?it took more than one year to add a popular channel like 9xm,where as not so popular channel like real is been added from the first day itself
4)Tata Sky right now is on number 2 position with 4.5 million customers and there is just a thin line between tata sky and sun direct,very easily in coming weeks..sun direct will surpass tata sky
5)These 4.5 million customer even include those who have cancelled the services,if we remove that ones that have been cancelled,tata sky will easly be sitting on number 3. and in an year or two,tata sky will be last as reliance big tv has more channels to offer which attracts customers.
6)tata sky should add these following channels to satisfy customers,but we can thionk about it only in vain,.
ZEE sports
Zee talkies
ET now
ss music
b4u music
b4u movies
bindass movies
ndtv imagine showbiz
Zee tamil
adithya tv

indiavision news
jai hind tv
fox tv
fox crime
nat geo wild
baby tv
6 more telugu channles amoing which 3 are from sun group,5 kannada channels,3 bangla channels(cannot remember channel names now)
7)Point 6 is impossible to happen and now we know the future of tata sky
8) i am myself a tata sky customer from last 2 years and also have tata sky plus,i completely feel the money invested in the product is waste.My anger towards the product is justified and so are other customers who face the same problem like me
What should we do?
You missed some channels like Nat Geo Music, Nat Geo HD (Already on Sun)
Coming soon channels like ..Discovery Turbo, Discovery Science and Discovery HD. When I went for the Mega Pack last year I had a notion that I will be getting these channels for at least Six months within My Mega Pack for free. ..But heavily disappointed there..... As soon as I will be getting over with Mega Pack time to shift to Airtel IPTV...Best Service to go for.
