I placed the order for Tata-Sky with a neighbourhood dealeron 24/10, and the STB was delivered to my place on 25/10. The installation was scheduled on the afternoon of 30/10. As I do not have a landline phone at my place, I had given my mobile number as the primary contact id, and due to battery charger problems, my mobile was not working till about 4 PM. As soon as I started the mobile, I saw a few missed calls from a TATA-Indicom number, and on calling back I found the installation team had already gone ahead of my place. The engineer told me that he will get back to me after talking to his office, and within an hour I received a call from another team that they were on their way to my place.
The team reached at around 6:30 PM, and had installed the dish and the wiring by 7:30. And I must commend the professional job they did. The reception was impeccable, and the my wife said she can’t watch the TV for long as such crystal clear picture quality might be detrimental to her eyes after watching the snowy/hazy/lined cable TV for ages.
And my dad is sure going the enjoy the remaining matches of Champions Trophy.
PS: And the icing on the cake is that I have not yet paid a single penny for the installation. The dealer had asked me to first get the dish installed, watch it for a day and then pay. I would be happy man when I pay him in the evening.
