I have used videocon DTH services for few months and I bought it for Rs 1600 with 3 months subscription free. As I am south Indian so I requested to activate south Indian languages including tamil and telugu and other free channels. Initially the monthly payment is Rs.150 for this south indian packs and gradually they have increased the payment to Rs 204 for the same pack now.
The same channels are coming but the rate is somewhat higher which I think is little costly for middle class family. They used to give tensports as free channel and during cricket matches they used to give sonymax. But it is not there now.
