Tata Sky - Isko 'bhaga' daala to life jhingalaala

my cable op just sent pamphlet abt increase in rates to 350 :(earlier i was paying 360 w/o STBhe forced STB (2300Rs) upon us by saying certain channels will come only if i get STBand now after 4-5 months he raised rates to 350is there any government which can bring in CAS?
 
in tamilnadu they said that government will start a new MSO thro which the cost will be decided by TRAI rules but its started in particular places only if that system being extended all over INDIA then all would throw away their DTH and become a CABLE cust:dance:
 
I was kindof thinking across this point. Its quiet interesting that i would like to share with you. India is country which is described as 'unity in diversity'. Country where people of all different castes, languages, etc. stay together. This adds glory to our nation, but i guess its making business hell for DTH players.In local cable world, every area varies services according to languages. For example, in Mumbai, people will opt for Marathi channels in general. Channels like Sahara Samay mumbai and mumbai localized channels would be in demand. But that wont be the case in Delhi. They will see Delhi Aajtak and so on.... none of these people will much care of south channels. So its very easy for Local cable people to localise things and meet requirements of people which is quite a small range which they cover in. And most of them show city's local news, etc.Now in the world of DTH, things are hell different. Out there one service provider has to fulfil requirements of entire nation. South guys may be happy with certain packages but others may not.Lets take an example when new channel is introduced, say its a Marathi channel. Maharashtra people will be eager and demand to telecast ASAP, but that wont be the case in East India. So with south indian channel and so on. In these cases, the headache of adding new channels is only on that locality of cable person. Other zones even if they add after months of launch, is not a matter of big issue.But in DTH, you can imagine how difficult is that goinna be.What I thought which I have mentioned above, if true, makes chances of happiness of Customer Care representatives of DTH player quiet a difficult. The also need to localise, i guess!
 
Seriously, not making any joke out of it. I literally got this sort of feeling when i switched back to my local cable wala. I wish to share with you how life has now got relaxed and easy in terms of Entertaintment.

Since the rise in cost of packages, i started to feel more unworthy of being DTH customer. I was viewer of Family package + tensports (200 + 15). Since it never made sense to me to opt for a package costing Rs 50 for one colors channel. And for sports!? And for English channels??

Well, Recharge thingy i never understood. It never gave me the days i deserved. For example my last recharge on Rs 300/- Card was alloted only for month (30 days). If i take a look at revised charges (220 + 25 = 245) so still according to Rs 8/- per day, i should have got 30+ days added in my 'Tata Sky account'. So i finally opted to let things ease off by connecting back my local cable.

Now what a change in life. While playing vCD there is not headache of removing and reinserting wires and those bullsh*Tata Sky DTH. When Television is set on from power, there is no please wait, tata sky is loading and one moment please screens. Just the channel where u were left before the actual power off.

Now Clarity. guys except for last 10 channels on UHF band, i practically see no channel which has less clarity than tata sky. Thats where my fingers were crossed whether i would be able to adjust myself in terms of clarity, but to my surprise, the quality is excellent (may be Tata Sky DTH is mpeg2).

Now no need to run for recharge card everytime, and all guys dont keep in our locality so to get availablity of recharge card purchase was another struggle for existense in Tata sky's account positive balance. Now cable operator takes money and signature in card, thats all. No need for Rs 3/- SMSes or Tata helpline calls.

Life is so easy with one remote. Otherwise, maintaining two remotes uhh.... life was so painful in everyterm. Now i can store channels at whichever number i want as before.

Now channels. I have colors, NDTV Imagine, Real and so on. I was surprised to see long forgotten channels like Tez, Sahara Samay Mumbai, CVO etc. These were really unheard in tata sky.

Life is so much jhingalaala now.

After a long thought finding good things abt Tata Sky DTH, i only miss that 4 days advance guide and changing channel contents without changing channels actually. But only for that feature getting such pain, that wasnt worth, was that?

Thank u TataSky, cos if you wudnt have entered in my life I would have never been able to enjoy Entertaintment like this way after realizing there are tuffer ways to get the same simple and natural entertainment.

Guud bye Mr. Aamir Khan.


Yes Its true tata sky is very costly as compared with other DTH platform, Even now dishtvhas launched new packages which are very economical in price and have more number of channels in lowest base pack. Also if you won't found any channel in your base pack then you can select that from ala-carte packs as well. Like here as you said you want Colors only and for that you have to pay Rs.45 for that pack. where in dishtv its available in separate ala-caret at Rs.20+ tax .

I must appreciate you.
You are the most faithful employee of DISH TV :thumbsup:
You haven't left any medium for promoting DISH TV, be it Orkut, IBF or any other forums ;)
 
There is no war between Tata Sky and other DTH they tata sky not even entered into the war zone as of now. They just stand behind the war zone with limited soldiers and they are just passing time. It is very common that, when one thing is available in reasonable cost with higher Quality or same Quality people would go for it.

Tata Sky with limited channels and with Old MPEG2 technology with Higher cost
Tatasky Plus with limited Channels and new MPEG4 Technology in unimaginable cost for normal people

Dish with many channels and MPEG2 technolgy.. technology is compromised with the packages here.

SUN DTH with many channels and MPEG4 technogly..Airtel with MPEG4 and BIG with MPEG4..

on average the new technology and econimical subscribtion are here.. why still say something proud about tata sky...

I am sure even in north, poeple love to have more channels, only because of the cable wala they switched over to DTH.. especially people who own Tata., they feel anywhere in their heart that somehow they are wasting their money and missing many channels.

----------

people who talk about CC here., i do not think all are doing well even in tata sky. Earlier i had good impression tata sky CC. But recently when i wanted to re location, tata sky lost its image. 1000 RS for relocation never possible in any dth. It is a false commitment by tata sky that it is slashed to 350. But they did not mention the condition here trasparently. 350 is applicable when you are shifting the connection in the premises...i mean when you moving from one flat to another flat in the apartment. But when change the area, or state again in same as 650 and the additional cost for the cabling and all decided by engineers. How do i trust the engineer are asking the nominal charges...

When there is no transparency in service... do not price about the Customer care Quality.
 
I said the same years back. Did you belive? Asked me to stop. So take TS and jihngalala.
