Seeing the quality of the new box- I am wondering whether I made a mistake. This is a no-name chinese dabba.
The earlier one was a Thomson make and lasted quite a few years.

Well its manufactured by technicolor and thomsom renamed as technicolor during 2010.

My old box that lasted for over 6+ years was manufactured by Thomson. Looks like Humax did not win the contract for standard STB's like last time.

Technicolor (Formerly Thomson) makes some great quality set-top-boxes. I am a Tata Sky customer since Feb, 2007. Never had any issues with Thomson stb. If I remember correctly old one was Made in India, this one is made in Vietnam.

I have opted for the HD box with 1 month HD access for 990. They said they would be doing it today by 3 PM. Well, they haven't even called yet. Are you guys getting it done at the promised time or with delays ? And if I upgrade from SD to HD, I get a new remote. That is what the CC said. But then I have given up on anything that the CC says these days.

Remote replacement for SD to HD upgrade depends on region. As I posted earlier, I have 2 SD connections & upgraded both with HD.
In Coimbatore they replaced STB + Remote & in Bangalore, its STB only, but the cost is same for both (990). I called CC & they confirmed that for Bangalore, its STB only.

Well at this point of time TS is concentrating on migrating Tamil Channels to MPEG 4.....i believe they have migrated 10 - 12 Tamil channels to MPEG 4....and also i believe they have migrated all the malayalam channels...i heard that TS is testing a malayalam channel...my source said that on or before 30th september TS will add atleast 10 Malayalam channels and also 3 - 4 Tamil channels...
