Tata Sky Plus in USA?

[shaile]

well yeah. its not official of course. some guy is probably smugging in the hardware and selling it locally. or just fooling indians living in china.

There may also be illegal sales in USA :ishock: as many Indians reside there.

I don't know what to say about your innocence/ignorance :iomg:
Anybody buying Tata Sky (even if illegally) in USA would use STB for what? As showpiece? as signals cannot be received there (mentioned in previous posts)

yeap. USA is on the opposite side of the planet. signals wont reach there.

The INSAT 4A Ku Band Signals WHich Tata Sky uses Covers only India MainLand . Not even Andaman Nicobar and adjoining Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal areas..

even in neighbouring countries like Pak, Bhutan, Nepal , etcc... a Large Size Dish has to be used to cap the Signals . .. so no Question of USA ,
satellite signals penetrate cloud components .. but not Earths Crust and travel to USA which is opposite of the Planet :wall::wall:

but yes can still install the DIsh and STB of Tatasky in USA and just watch the User Interface

SKY has Satellite TV operations in UK, Italy, Germany, NZ apart from Tata Sky in India (but not in US). Besides Murdoch own TV/Print media worldwide.




DirecTV is the counter part of sky in US. Also owned by Murdoch (If you guys can remember the ad which used to play on Channel 999 which later turned to channel 100 and the ad disappeared) Good TV. Better TV. DIRECTV.

Newscorp did had some stake in DirecTV, but now its not related to Newscorp (Murdoch company) anymore.
The DirecTV Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In December 2003, GM's interests in the remainder of the company, DirecTV, DirecTV Latin America, PanAmSat and Hughes Network Systems were sold to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, reorganizing itself into the DirecTV Group. News Corp. actually owned only 39% of DirecTV, however it was the largest single shareholder, and several DirecTV executives had strong links to News Corp, including Chase Carey.
PanAmSat was sold to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. in August.
SkyTerra Communications, Inc. completed its purchase of 100% controlling interest in Hughes Network Systems from the DirecTV Group in January.
In November 2006, News Corporation agreed to transfer its interest in DirecTV Group to John Malone's Liberty Media. In return it bought back Liberty's shares in News Corp., giving the Murdoch family tighter control of the latter firm.
On February 2008, after receiving FCC approval, Liberty completed its acquisition of News Corporation's stake in DirecTV. In return it bought back its shares of News Corp. However, Liberty was required by the FCC to sell its shares in either DirecTV's Puerto Rican operations or Liberty Global's cable provider in Puerto Rico. DirecTV Puerto Rico was accordingly placed in a trust twelve months later.[1]
On May 4, 2009, DirecTV Group Inc. said it would become a part of Liberty's entertainment unit, part of which would then be spun off as a separate company called DirecTV. Liberty would increase its share of DirecTV from 48 to 54 percent, with Malone and his family owning 24 percent.
