Big tv comes with some more packs for users who can pay extra...

BIG TV is also coming with three Pack:-

Maxx pack is useless thing, who'll pay 5k for DTH??
I saw their site, nice site!

just4kix

Yes. I visited their web site also.

But I feel that their monthly subscriptions are too high:

If I were to compare with my Dish Maxi package, I would be paying in comparison:

Starter Pack 3: 93 channels @ Rs. 175/-
Regional Pack: 3 channels @ Rs. 30/-
Top Ups:
... News Plus: 3 channels @ Rs. 25/-
... Hindi Movie Plus: 3 channels @ Rs. 25/-
... Sports-1 Plus: 2 channels @ Rs. 25/-
... Elite Plus: 3 channels @ Rs. 25/-
... English Movie Plus: 3 channels @ Rs. 25/-
... Kids Plus: 3 channels @ Rs. 25/-
... Uni Plus: 3 channels @ Rs. 25/-

A grand total of Rs. 380/- and I will still have some channels missing such as - MGM, Turner Classic Movies.

And I pay Rs. 300 for Dish Maxi + Rs. 150 for second TV. Big TV will charge Rs. 190/- for second TV.

I was plaaning to buy BIGTV, but little disappointed with their launch offers. Maxx pack is d thing where u'll get everything, but 12 month free MAXX pack comes for 4990 something is not cup of every1's tea.
So I recharged my dishtv with 300 ITZ card, now I can enjoy even more no of channels compared to BIGTV, d only disappointing thing is BINDAAS TV, Hope dish will include it in future.

yes these package are not too attractive but still we are getting Mpeg-4 picture quality and cd quality sound in almost same rates that dist tv is providing and this is really a good value for our money..finally we can enjoy better picture quality in same price

As far as I know mpeg4 doesnt make any difference to the picture quality.. it just uses less bandwidth so more channels can be broadcasted.

I dont think that the mpeg4 makes any difference either, i mean how clear can you get DVD quality?

dakshi.me

MPEG 4 makes a huge difference dear.. No pixalation in picture hence best picture quality. even it saves 30% of bandwidth so no need to change STB if more channels will be added in future..

mpeg 4 gives better quality & compression than the mpeg2
big TV uses advanced STB's as it has component output which gives the best quality (ofcourse next best to HDMI)than the composite in TATA Sky & Dish TV(u need to have component input in ur TV set), USB port (heard that we can play the contents frm Pendrive later on ) & in STB model 2 they have given Dolby SPDIF output to amplifier.

I'm frm mumbai & I compared the quality & packages of all DTH providers before going for BIG TV.
Even the quality of Big TV in composite is better than TATA
Eventually the package costing turns out to be the same .I guess dish is cheaper here than Tata & BIg is slightly on higher side

After 1 yr/initial offer. in BIG TV u can opt. for package(starter 1 + free regional pack) as low as 100 rs. even the Starter 3 packs covers most of the channels @ 175 while in tata minimum(family) pack is 200 & dish welcome is rs.262

Frm last week Tata sky has launched new offering i.e. In rs. 3990 u will get the STB & 400 days of super saver pack (Here if u add up the cost of Life style gold pack @40per mnth & 400 p.a + sports gold @30 p.m. & 300 p.a + sports platinum @ 40 p.m & 400 p.a + ten sports available on a la carte basis @ 15 p.m & 150 p.a )
So the total of TATA Sky comes around rs. 5240 for almost a year (BIG TV Max offer @ 4990 + free monthly subcription pack of movies - hindi for 3 mnths)

this is a lauch phaze so service is not upto mark & the Reliance world & Customer Service guys lack the product knowledge.
The movies channel is not working as per the schedule on all BIG CINEMA movie channels(for eg. on channel 120 GOAL was from 15th Aug to 28th aug & 29th to 14th sept. JODHAA AKBAR as per their Schedule but still as on 3rd sept they r showing GOAL )

I purchased the Kit i.e. STB & Max offer frm Reliance world on 31st aug & called the CC for Installation .
The installation guys came to my residence on 1st sept. at 2 pm aa per mentioned by the CC guy.
