Thanks!
My cable from Bansdroni region.
How much u paid for STB ?
Is it a normal STB or HD ?
If possible just post a pic of ur STB.

I heard that Govt order for Digitization of cable TV before July 2012.
If,its true my Cable walla will have to change soon to Digital.
Last time they told an excuse that STB r too costly and we have to pay a lot for same number of channels and avoid that.

About 1/1.2k I guess, forgot cause its been a few years since, I'll post a pic later today.

Normal STB, not HD, pic quality same as Tata Sky(non HD), tested side by side, STB pic quality was slightly better actually, and also it supports multiple audio languages.

Good to hear pic better than DTH and support multiple audio too.
Hope our cable will provide same soon or later cos they will left no option after 30 June 2012.
Price of STB should be less now.

I asked my cable Walla about STB.
He told that he heard some kind of new but not confirmed.
So,I have to wait until July.

just my observation.

1. the problem with dish is that picture freezes suddenly in a sunny clear day. have seen in delhi and guwahati, sometimes its very annoying and goes off sometimes with drizzles.

2. have tata sky and its good. the problem persists when comes to CC, sometimes they just don't listen and starts putting their view on you. most annoying thing is its memory and sound. every time TATA sky starts from home channel and 100% volume.

3. have Airtel with tata sky, the most admirable thing is that it starts from last channel and volume, and stays little longer when comes to heavy rain compared with Tata and dish. as i have seen that people complaining about airtel cc, i think its depends on that place or circle. used in guwahati and problem was just resolved while taking to cc. again was calling to CC in delhi and it was a pathetic exp, they took bludy 40 mns to understand my prob, again just two weeks back when i was in ranchi, called cc to add a channel and it was happened within 2 mns.

my first pref is Airtel then TATA, and the pic in airtel HD is pretty good.

Thanks for the pic bro! :)
My cable has ask us to pay Rs.500/- extra this month for STB.
Don't know if its the total cost or they will will give STB on rental.
But,cable guy said that we have to pay Ra.200/- monthly same as now and channel will be almost same.
They have not not mention about any channel package system.
Hope I will get same STB cos our area difference is not so wide.
Please post some TV SS when u get free time later......:)

I can't, rather I won't post TV shots, cause we still use a 21" CRT, no one in our house watches TV, except mirakkel :p so my parents don't bother to buy a LCD and I feel ashamed to post its pics, I'll try to take pics from my neighbours(if they let me), but trust me, pic quality is as good as tata sky(non HD), or better(my STB is digicable by reliance). also we get all channels including rarities, even Animax(the one channel I used to watch), most channels have english streams(if available) and hindi(if available, like cartoon network).

Now we pay 200/- per month, but maybe after cas is fully implemented we have to pay per channel :|

Nothing to feel ashamed bro.
I got two 21" CRTs.
Sadly I can't afford a 32" HD LCD TV until they reached under 15K.
I use to watch Animax but not available from more than 1 year. :(
Can't watch anime from net cos don't have BB connection.
And DTH is expensive due to its package system.

Hope for the best, 200/- for all channels is a steal, but something tells me these greedy b@st@rds gonna charge us more.

BTW: In our locality you have to pay 180/- for cable, extra 20/- for repair service, if a cable ever break they will repair it asap for free.

May be same for us 180+20.
I never asked them detail.
And our cable is Siti Digital.
Just saw a the logo at the bottom of a channel.
Heard Siti Digital not so good compare to Hathway or Digicom.

If pay per channel rule applies then cable will not be VFM than DTH ?
Though most of the ppl hardly watch less than 20 channels regularly.
Consumer will never get any good service at better price until there is a competition between cable and DTH.....
