I am currently using Sun Direct ...but after some very crappy after sales support i have decided to change the provider


I was just going thru all these threads here and now i am like this > <

i would appreciate some help with choosing an alternate provider

i have currently shortlisted TATA sky and Dish TV


1. How are their after sales support ?
a. Can i recharge online ?
b. Will they respond quickly ?

2. How about channel availability ? i plan to subscribe to some rarely available channels like vh1 , Travel and Living , Animax etc etc A la carte ....

3. Any offers ?

4. Auxiliary services (like TATA sky Active)?

Thanks

Thank you neo001......... i just went through DishTv's Packages and found that it was indeed better than TATA Sky's .... both economical and the channel selection for Base pack was very good..... The add on packs are most economical among DTH service providers imo

Now i have a doubt

I choose a base pack and then an add on pack ..... if my add on pack has 4 channels ,among which 3 are already present in the base pack .... will i still be charged the full amount for the add on packs ?

And how long will they take to deliver it to my home if i order it online ?

I suggest you to go for Dish Maxi. It'll cost you around Rs. 300 and you'll get the channels of your liking,i.e, VH1,Animax and Travel 'n' living...
