Friends,
I have this 32" LG LCD TV (model 32LC7R) which I had bought last june. I had cost me Rs.40000. I had been impressed by the sharp picture quality I had seen at Pantaloons E-zone. The pictures of even Sharp/Hitachi/Sony, etc were no comparison in the 32" LCD TV segment.. I had been using the local cablewallah's signal for the 6 months for my cable TV needs. I admit I had been stupid enough to do that
. It does not simply match with my TV. The picture quality was no match with the ones I saw at E-zone. Actually the not so intelligent sales guy insisted not to go for DTH at the first itself.
Recently I went to E-zone again and I saw the model that I have being displayed in full bloom. I was bowled over by the picture once again and decided, enough is enough, I must get DTH now.
Now the 1st question is: If I take any package from the DTH operators (Tata Sky, Dish, etc) will I get the picture quality I saw at the showroom? My TV has a max resolution of 1366x1024 (not sure though, but I think I am pretty close) and I am sure the TV at display at e-zone was demonstrated using this high quality signal.
Now the 2nd question is: Which operator (Dish, Tata Sky, Big TV, Sun DTH) to go for? I am from Kolkata. I have compared the packages and it seems Dish is cheaper but I am not sure about the picture quality. Summarizing our family's need for channel viewing, I compared the packages from Dish and Tata Sky and following is my finding:
Tata Sky: I have to take Super Saver pack + Lifestyle gold pack + sports pack (Espn, star sports, ten sports and star cricket). Total p.m. comes to Rs.385. The set-top box is Rs.1499 and installation charges, activation, etc is Rs.1000.
Dish TV: I have to take platinum pack (Rs.275 p.m.) It offers the similar channels as in Tata Sky package I shortlisted above. Am I missing something, as the price difference is over Rs.100? Dish has an ongoing offer right now where you get STB and platinum pack for 3 months for Rs.2090 only. Installation and activation charges is Rs.200.
Which one to take? Do you have any other options? I am really in a fix. Please help. Thanks.
And oh I forgot, if I take Dish TV, I have to additionally take the bouquet of Bengali channels "Mishti Bangla" for Rs.25 extra p.m. But I am not seeing Star Ananda in Dish TV package. Where is it?
