First, before I write the review, let me explain why I decided to go for DTH. I live in an area where there is cable raj(aka Goonda raj) . Each area is an ilaka of that cablewala and they don’t allow any competitor over there. And then, they can charge whatever you want as you have no option. Sick and tired of this, I decided to go for DTH.
There are a few DTH operators in the market like Big TV, Dish TV, Airtel and Tata Sky etc. I totally eliminated Big TV as I know enough about Ambanis and their thieving ways. I spoke to my friends and relatives. Apparently, most of them had Tata Sky and they seemed very happy. I must honestly say that I did not do too much research and based on word of mouth decided to go for Tata Sky.
I went on the net and put in my details in the form. Much to my surprise, I got a call from them within an hour. The chap on the other end explained to me various packages and services etc. He did a good job(despite his limited conversational skills). I was initially not sure about giving by CC details on phone but he just asked me to type it on the phone keypad.
The engineers were pretty prompt and got TS installed on the same day itself. I have got a mega pack for myself s I don’t have to bother about add-ons etc. So I pretty much get all the channels. The quality of sound and video is very good. I did have a short rain outage but I think that is a prob with technology.
Another point I would like to mention is unlike other customer services where you wait for hours and hours, here it is pretty prompt. I am usually able to get them in few minutes.
Overall, it’s a very good experience though. You get what you pay for. I have not once thought that I have spent more. It is a product for those who love to “experience” TV rather than just watch it. I would recommend it to all.
