This drove my Dad nuts and he cancelled the application and got CAS connection from local cablewallah(GalaxZee).
Anybody here had that problem?

so it means u liv in kolkata coz galaxzee is available there only and ur profile location also proves u r frm kolkata.the cable tv service is great in kolkata comparable to dth

Instead of removing the wiring, couldn't the wires have been spared and left idle?
Yah I told them but they replied the quality will suffer :confused: . I dont know how true it that.

Yah buddy I am a Kolkattan ( Kidderpore):D
Honestly the cablewallah ( National Cables) still rules as i have bought a 2nd STB for my room:D and they told me that all the Sports channels will not be available in my package (Rs 1700 for 4 Months) but when i got it and switched on all Sports Channels barring Zee Sports & Star Cricket were there :D, and to top it all, i told him about Zee Sports and they said it is included in my package:rolleyes:. To sum it up they themselves dont have a clear understanding about this mess.
What will you say when when channels not in your package is shown and the channel which is suppose to be in your package is blacked-out?

OK.I got the sun dth connection after noon.their CPE is really getting HOT(as in heating!)!that apart,i have to wait tomorrow for the activation :? from sun madras office.apart from that FTA channels are crystal clear like the enter,dd channels etc.also i heard FTA channels like etc channel(?) et al can be added manually.also the sun dth personnel are very friendly.they are very busy as heavy registeration for sun dth in kerala and other southern states :) pay channels will land in 2 weeks time as per the sun franchisee.

I have a query:how do we remove and re-insert the smart card :confused: no idea how to remove the card :? although i can open the lid!

^why oh Why?does ur sky or dishtv STB got mpeg4 support? and also the STB is under a unlimited lease!so no waste in buying and got stuck with one dth provider(err..sky aka tata sky!) *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/4.gif also the STB is made by a korean company and the model no.is SN9000IR

at the moment sun is giving connxn only in south india.and i read that in andhra pradesh itself around 7 lakh orders are pending :? also the pic quality is better than sky!.for NI,WI,NE -u have to wait for a month or so for the launch in north india.

Rs2000/- inclusive of installation and 1 yr subscription+15Meters of co-axial cable from sun network.High quality pictures!mpeg4 STB
75 channels including FTA.zee,sony,star packages are seen on test screen,sports channels to will be bundled(for me,no use!).from next year onwards u have to pay rs75/month for the south bundles.

also afaik from dec1 this year,customers can choose our own channels,so that these one alliance and all that BS cannot force unwanted channesl on us!

wait till they completes the requirment in south india :D as sun tv is a very famous Tamil Channel and do u know that murasoli maran and maran brothers are running this DTH;remember dayanidhi maran is the one who gave dataone BB with super cool plans;now with their DTH offerings from their company,they will be very careful-especially the North Indian/pak viewers.

North India package will be available by next month middle.

even my dvd player can play mp4[mpeg4] files... so wats the big deal.....
n "oh!" was bcoz even u urself call ur "super sun dth" as a "damn thing" so god knows how many people will even agree with you...
as far as which dth goes , then at presnt i have none and dont intend to go for any of the above mentioned in near future......
yes.. i am also frm andhra .... but leaving that aside...
at least TV channels in north are not controlled by political parties.... unlike SUN TV[n subsidieries] , Jaya Tv etc.etc...
thank god for that... no more party bashing on Regional News !

^what :shock: ur coming with dvdplayer review here :D ?
arey!this is my personal experiance which i wrote.i dont know much about what political thing which ur saying :?:
seems u hate sun i suppose :rolleyes:

neither am an advocate of sun dth!it is what fits the bill for me!
I'd have cared to buy a tata sky or dishtv(heard lotta bad apfas)-but i will miss malayalam channels which almost all are covered by Sun direct.also i dont need sports channels;infact i hate those channels!

and the best of all very good picture quality which others are not yet upto maybe!

BTW,why do we care about jaya tv or kalingar tv?atleast i am not a regular taamil viewer!

For ur second question on Difference between MPEG-4 and MPEG-2:

MPEG4 offers a better compression/quality ratio than MPEG2.

What it means to you as individual user: Better picture and sound quality than MPEG-2 receivers. Finer pictures more closer to Original DVD Quality.

What it means to Service Provider: Since MPEG-4 offers better compression, operators can carry more channels on each Transponder, thereby reducing their cost of investing to buy more transponders.

I think someone from south will tell you the story better!

The rise of SUN Dth to cause any competition so as to reduce the current subscription/package cost from Tatasky/Dish?

SOuth starter pack now costs Rs.200 on tatasky..It would be better atleast they brought down this to atleast 100-125 against Rs.75 of SUN Dth

^78?+16FM channels(?) I think.for rs2000/- i got a mpeg4(free leased i think!) STB+1 year free subscription without any hidden tags :) !I think I will buy star /one alliance thingy next month if their pricing is fine :)

BTW,sun DTH as of now is available only in south and may be goa also i think!

glad that you got one...would you mind posting some screenshots here?
Saami! I dont have a digital camera or camera-mobile phone!so u may have to wait for some time for my screenshots!(BTW i use a ancient TV 2000 Sony trinitron KF-J21MF1AK with kirara basso that time paid 22k! :x)

I will post a review this week for all u aspirants :eek:
