i think price is same as dish or tata. crappy website on both IE n FF

i v click 100 times to view wat is there in one plan!!

well i m going to buy dish tv.
i v heard that both dish and tata go off air at the slightest sign of bad weather.

my friend also told me that these DTH services dont work even when it is drizzling !! is it true???

You get more channels than Tata Sky & Dish TV on Big TV. Also the picture & sound quality is better in case of Big TV.

DTH services are affected in bad weather. Big TV is better than others in this department too as it has bigger dish which helps in better signals while it's raining. However, most probably, it won't work in heavy rains & snowfall. I've heard Tata Sky & Dish TV stop working even when it's drizzling.

So Should I take TataSky instead ?

I am not going to hurry. As of now, the packages look very very confusing. No clear detail. I would rather wait till the dust settles.

As of now, TATA Sky looks to be a good option for people in a hurry.

 

[narangz]

^^ Yeah, wait & watch for some more days to read reviews of Big TV or wait for Airtel & then read it's reviews.

Tata Sky is too costly for the channels it provides. I can bet Big TV has better quality although customers who tried it before launch during test period had STB hanging problems. I hope it is solved now or it will be solved in near future through software update.

u can get DishTv.
my cousin's using it 4 the past 2 yrs and no probs as of such.yeah its true that their system is a bit crappy i.e changes r not instanly updated.it takes bout 24-48 hrs to reflect the changes.

 

[shashank_re]

Go with TataSky dude.
It may be slightly expensive as compared to Dish TV but you should understand that peace of mind is more worth than those few bucks

any one bought this BIG TV here??

 

[enticer86]

Bad news for me again. Most of the satellites are in the south-west sky for Delhi. And my home is in the shadow area for south-west
Can't use terrace too.

i scrutinized big tv plans for the first time over the weekend and find that only the initial offer is good and later it gets to arnd Rs. 450 pm if we want all the channels.

In any of the DTH services can we watch 2 channels at the same time? e.g. ESPN and STAR @ the same time??

 

[ThinkFree]

^No.
