This is my perspective on the revolutionary Satellite TV service...Tata Sky Plus!

To put it simply, it is a service that will change the way you watch television forever. Tata Sky+ is
a premium set-top box with a personal video recorder that allows you to record up to 45 hours of
live TV. Tata Sky+ gives you the power to record one programme while watching another, pause
a live telecast and even rewind a TV programme that you are watching.


It is a new age product for the fast generation who don’t have to fight for the remote any more. It allows you to do the following things:

[*]Play or Pause or Rewind a channel
[*]You can record a show and watch at a later stage.
[*]You can pre-programme the Digi-comp to record a show at particular time and you can see the programme at your convenience.
[*]There is an inbuilt hard disk of 160 GB (that’s humongous). You can actually record 45 hours of Live TV!
[*]One can record channels like discovery, cartoon network which offers their service in different languages. Once you record a serial you can choose from languages supported.
[*]It has some other features like space management, back to back recording, automatic serial series recording, parental lock and much more.
[*]Price of the Box is around Rs 8999
[/list]I think its absolute value for money, as the features it provides more than compensate the price at which they come, and also the fact that no other DTH service provider provides these features.

On its face, seems a bit expensive, but when you actually think the value that it provides in that price...you dont really feel its expensiveness!
 
yeah the features are simply interesting. Am planning to buy one, have you experience any problems if you are a user?
 
Hi, Question for all:Is there any plans for TSky to go from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 ?? Its high time they change. Also, I think TSKy+ is still using MPEG-2 signals so I wonder whether they have any real plans to upgrade their backend?Thanks.
 
they would need to replace all the existing stbs in the market if they do so.
 
Is market is peak for TS? Becuase, with low number of channels. TS will not stay in Market.:ashamed:

TS+ uses MPEG4(?) At least that is what their website says!!
 
I have upgraded to Tata Sky+.I ordered on the evening of Saturday, 16th. The box was delivered on Tuesday and installation done on Wednesday. Everything went smoothly, as per agreed schedule, correct to the hour.I have taken the mega pack rs. 5000 per year with all channels and 5000 discount on the STB and installation. My existing balance of about rs. 1000 was adjusted against the mega pack.Existing dish and cable were changed with new hardware, I do not know why!The technician team was very professional and courteous; they even offered to get a generator for the drilling, when power was absent for a short while.I have given 5 star rating for the team in the commissioning report.
