Tata sky is digital satellite dish antenna receiver service for Television in India.
I was using ICC cable tv connection in India but it was not having good quality, though they chart Rs.333/- per month in Koregoan Park, Pune, India. per month. Only 30% of the channels are clear on TV upto 29inch. On TV with 42inch LCD 90% of the channels will be not clear. Though this also depend on the wiring done, wiring quality and gauge but if you ask for change of wires then they may not do it without tkaing good amount from you.
I researched about the tatasky service and dish tv (from zee group). after doing lot of research i found that tatasky offer better technology, more clarity and better service then tatasky. You may read a lot of review saying tatasky service (call center and service team) is bad but Dish TV may be even worse.
So our of them TataSky is selected and we bought the Package from Croma store in Pune. Tatasky advertise it as 1500 but they charge Rs.1000 for installation which is not justified, that take the purchase cost to Rs.2500. ideally saying Tatasky lie on TV that tatasky cost 1500 and then charge exorbitant installation charges of Rs.1000. But reason for this may be that cable tv providers also charge Rs.1000 as installation charges though zee dish tv charge only Rs.300 or so.
The service person whom came for installation demonstrated us tha tour wire in the house for cable TV is of lower strength and may not be able to carry all channels properly. We saw it using his system an then allow him to change it. it needed 3 meters extra cable costing Rs.40 per meter. They provide 20 meters free cable.
We found quality of all the channels good, all channels were clear for 42 inch LCD TV.
At the time of purchase you need to also buy Rs.1000/- coupon which is actually payment of installation charges, the service person may like to see it. But you need to yourself activate this coupon in your account by calling tatasky call center else your account will show -Rs.1000/- balance and may be deducted from your future payment. Its easier to activate this voucher form tatasky.com website, this is voucher like prepaid voucher.
After that within 14 days of installation you need to purchase the monthly coupons and activate them. you can either pay directly on tatasky website using credit card or buy coupons from tatasky dealers and then activate them.
You will need your subscriber ID, which you can also see on your TV by pressing home button on remote. I was surprised that i can also see my payments made to tatasky and due dates on the TV. i took super saver package cositng Rs.300/- per month but their Family pack of Rs.250/- per month is more then enough for all requirements.
