Well I have heard a lot about the MTNL IPTV service but do not really know what all channels they provide and the services which they actually offer.

And is it worth getting the MTNL IPTV?

Hi Preeti,

Here is the channels list provide by IOL to BSNL & MTNL customers.

Direct-To-Home, IPTV & Satellite Radio News: TV Channels of BSNL & MTNL IPTV

Here is the channels list provide by Aksh to MTNL customers

Direct-To-Home, IPTV & Satellite Radio News: Aksh and MTNL launch icontrol in Delhi and Mumbai

Regards,

thanks for the list of channels. Now can anyone shed some light regarding the picture quality and overall performance from MTNL?

Huh! Let MTNL provide quality and affordable BB service first, I say!

AKSH IPTV was installed at my home on 23-06-2008.But it worked hardly for 2 days.Thereafter I lodged complaints to AKSH IPTV & MTNL several times on phone and through email.The customer service provided by AKSH IPTV is very very poor. They do not give complaint numbers which is violation of TRAI guidelines. When you call at call centre they will ask your name and contact number but they do not bother to call back. Every time you have to remind them about the problem you are facing. I think I have called them more than 50 times.This is the poorest customer service I have seen in my entire life.. I sent emails to their head office at Gurgaon but I think they don't have any regards to customers.The reason given to me was problem at Prabhadevi telephone exchange.But I have not received a written comnunication from MTNL/AKSH.I fails to understand when the infrastructure was not ready why they have go ahead with the project. MTNL is not able to fix the problem after so many days . This shows it's efficiency. This is the main reason MTNL is loosing it's market share in Mumbai.
On 04-07-2008 I written email to MTNL's top boss that if the problem is not fixed I will escalate the matter to Department of Telecommunication.Then on 8-7-2008 AKSH's technician came to my home and fixed the problem. But from 09-07-2008 onwards IPTV is not working. Again I called several times at call centre to wake up AKSH. On 12-07-2008 their technician visited my home and assured me that problem will be solved in a couple of days.When I called at call centre today i.e. 17-07-2008 told me that the problem is solved. But IPTV is not functioning yet. As usual I had given my contact details but nobody called me and no technical help is provided.Although I sent several emails ,lodged complaints online and on telephone, I have a not received a single written communication from AKSH / MTNL.AKSH MUMBAI MTNL IPTV IS SUPER FLOP SHOW

and how about TataSky... can anyone comment on services of tatasky

Go for Tatasky, and overall clean service provider, will cost you approx 360 monthly with all taxes. Quality and service quite satisfactory can be compared superior in complete range.....
With my overall personal experience, I can rate as:
1. Tatasky
2. DishTV
3. BigTV
4. Local Cable walah

IPTV us not rated as it is NOT YET a service, only a gimmick to squeez money from you, in name of TV viewer. Go for it if you like chatting up and complaining on telephones.......
