I have taken SUN as 2 nd connection apart from Big TV. I was planning to upgrade it as 1 st connection with all the channels of my family viewing which appear in Category A+ homes. But I find SUN is good to be fit in only as a cheaper connection for low paying subscribers only, having taken it at Rs. 999 + 1000 installation with 10 months of Sunshine Pack+telugu as free regional pack in Oct'08. But I find if I include our channels of preference as per SUNs packages, it costs a BOMB, which will be available on Tata/Dish or even Big TV at Rs.300-320

If I have to subscribe for my family viewing I need mainly

Star World,Star Movies,HBO,zee Trends,S Pix,Zee Cafe,Discovery,National geographic, Animal Planet,NDTV Goodtimes,NDTV Profit,NDTV 24x7, and all popular kids channels CN,POGO,Jetix,Nick,Hungama etc

None of their combinations gives me just all these as a minumum for any amount below Rs. 450

Simply a case of poor design for Cat A+ viewers by SUN.

Since I subscribed it for my mother for its Bhakti Channel and all Telugu channels, AIR Radio channels Telugu & AIR Ragam, and some of them are removed now like Bhakti TV & some AIR popular channels, I just decided to let SUN remain as a low category low ARPU connection.
