maybe a 32'. sure it sounds like a too good to be true statement, but with reliance and the kind of capital they have got this dosent look an impossible task for them

But if look at the cost of an LCD monitor @ 20K I think u will get a full loaded 20-24' LCD with max resolution of 1920x1200+

MPEG4 is definately a good thing, I thought TataSky would use it when they initially started but wth.

Either they would use DTH or one fat fibere optic cable will come to the house that would do broadband+IPTV+telephony.?

hmm may be but probably max we can expect is 32" in 10K..
huge capital ya they so .. they can play with economies of scale .. ha but they are cheaters nothing more.. u remember that LG - n100 they gave to people. I really dont beleive on Reliance Communications .. wasie bhi they are also not the best employers in india,

ya but how do that show the real HD // the true HD -
The HIGH-DIFINITION wont be visible till 42" or 52" I think
now there are 102" and 140" LCDs on shows on CES .. .. BBC Click showed that .. oh man .. what a tv

hmm ya but why cant wireless high speed satellite broadband ..

I dont think IPTV is the future ..

when we have a Dish Antenna in every home .. why send the cable to it.. that download link can be used for differnent stuffs.. telephony .. braodband .. TV .. and also WorldSpaceRadio :rolleyes: just feel the future :-D

now if u talk about wireless I forgot about WiMAX.
a 20mb/s up and down is nothing new in this tech.

If they could do this, it will adress all the things u wanted and more!

I agree with u Reliance havent got any credibility spcly RCOM. Ofcourse they will loot the customers in the name of HD. That's what they do best. ;-)

about the lcd i was talking about PC monitors. A typical 32' LCD HDTV should cost anywhere between 39-49K?

@W i d e S c r e e N
wi-max .. it was good but never been implemented..
there were constant news that BSNL testing it where is it ..noone knows

But I seriously think we can get satellite broadband also ..

waise anyone have a idea .. Is this thing functional in europe or usa? may be BSKY or DirectTV are already doing that :confused: may be

also .. the channels should be price on each channel basis ... not the package system. we have to pay fixed amount.. so what the difference. they implemented this in CAS so the same thing should be followed in DTH also.

TRAI .. is sleeping again :mad:

*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television

*www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/musicandvideo/hdvideo/contentshowcase.aspx
Satellite-based TV companies, such as DirecTV and Dish Network (both in North America), Sky Digital (in the UK and Ireland), Bell ExpressVu and StarChoice (both in Canada) and NTV Plus (in Russia), offer HDTV to customers as an upgrade. New satellite receiver boxes and a new satellite dish are often required to receive HD content.

If a DTH provider uses MPEG-4 .. he can provide better services .. than current MPEG-2 i.e. better than curent DIshTV n TataSky
If BigTV comes up with it .. then they will be able to provide more channels per transponder.
but you should also know that they (Tatasky - Dish) do have a option to shift to that high compression at future time.

You can say ... using HD XviD or VP70 instead of DVD.

i too am confused when they have 4G why bother with 3g, werent they going to skip 3 and go directly on to 4G?

WiMax has been launched in some metros i believe first were in banglore, pune, chennai,etc.

reliance also has it's own network of it.

do u think wimax could be used as IPTV?

Bcoz they are idiots .. they don't know if you wait technology lapses.. new one comes as Wi-Max has arrived
they are fighting on frequenses .. Man at least launch it thorugh 2 ISP or Providers to see the effectiveness in Indian Context.
They dont have clear frequency bcoz Army is using most of that bandwidth applicable for it ..
what the heck .. how much time army wants to change to diff frequency man..
Korea is almost done with 4G .
I think the time 3G comes to India .. it will be a obsolete ..

Is it really working? ..
I mean if its any true .. Can you get the MegaBits Wireless Broadband line out there ..I doubt it .. never heard of it..anyone using it.
If noone can subscribed to it .. then what it is, Its not there
they just making fool ..
Bcoz AFAIK even Wi-Max frequency has not yet cleared by Sleeping Lazy TRAI.
So if it hasnt been cleared .. its not implemented.

reliance also has it's own network of it.

Reliance to bhagwan hi jane .. may be marketing gimick.. which their MBAs are good at

Yes I used to think that was very much possible but .. now .. no-longer sure.. bro,
Infact there was news of Phone-Broadband-TV on Wi-Max platform,
but where is it :x again.. Trai ka locha.. No ruling n guidelines yet.

Its working in Singapore so fine... my friend was there last year .. he told me it works so fine. and backward compatible too. he was always online at home n in office.

On NDTV GadgetGuru .. in Jan 2007 .. there was a interview witha Airtel or BSNL man .. that It will be done within months not years. but again .. Dreams ... Booom

Wi-Max is good platform infact excellent .. it shows so much promise in itself and should be next thing for Indian broadband market.
But again ... delay in implementing.

.....

As per my calculations taking the situations, circumstances prevailing in Feb-2008-

I think,
for TV -> DTH will rule, IPTV n CAS may not be able to provide quality n cost effectiveness,
for Broadband -> Combinition of Wi-Max wireless Broadband and HighSpeed Satellite Internet Access with DTH will be available,
for Phone -> as for now 2.5G will be there ... 3G/4G & Wi-Max (together) only by 2010
