I got this D2H connection in 2013 April after a lot of research and review readings. I personally checked the packages and the cost for each and then decided on this one.
A few things which made the decision in favor of D2H-
1.More HD channels than other competitors.
Price was lower than others.
Packages being offered were good.
Why I did not go for TATA sky? Not good packages and higher cost. Has the second largest number of HD channels after D2H
Why I did not opt for Airtel - the customer care for Airtel is the worst in the world and neither were the cost/packages that great
Why I did not take Dish TV ? I saw the market share reducing and from people whom I knew they said the customer care was hopeless.
I went with an HD set top box though I did not have an HD television. However was able to view the HD channels without any problems. The package I opted for was the Platinum HD package which had the maximum number of HD channels. Costs around 460-470 bucks monthly.
Once or twice had to call the customer care and they were very courteous and prompt in responding. The experience with them was excellent on all occasions and never faced a problem with them.
The only problem I find is that these days the set top box takes a longer time to load and that is somewhat irritating but apart from that it is excellent.
A very good product on the whole and would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone.
