Default Wrongly advertised as Rs. 999 per year
Although the sun dth is advertising as Rs. 999 for one year with set top box and free subscription, they are charging additional charge of Rs. 1000 for installation alone, which i feel is quite high. It means that it comes to Rs. 2000 for one year!

I agree that installation charges are quite high although it is a one time cost.

What?
It doesn't mean Rs 2000 for one year.
You have to pay the installation charges only once.
So, you should not say that it is Rs 2000 yearly. The yearly charges only come to Rs 999.

The yearly payment (or recharge) option needs you to pay only Rs 750/- for one year.

The default yearly charges after that is Rs 750/- , or Rs 75/- per month.
It varies depending upon the additional packs you select.

When TATA Sky launched in 2006, they charged Rs.3999 (2999+1000 installation) and they have not offered any free viewing time but offered launching offer of Rs.200/- for all channels (obviously number of channels were very few at that time). They have started charging from day one. It is better that now a days all the DTH operators are offering the packages for one year. But Tata Sky has not rewarded the early birds in that sense. So what is wrong if Dish TV charges 1999 that includes one year free viewing?

Hey Sumit! That was great. I think you should go into advertising and marketing. You will do great!. I agree that Tata Sky is better than Sun. Now, its also concentrating on expanding in south and is planning to add more channels as well. So I see it giving tough competition to Sun DTH in the future.

Sun direct was first launched in TN and was an instant success. It is claimed that they have more than 2 million subscribers. And using the MPEG-4 makes the service one of the best while i think tatasky is still with MPEG-2 transmission technique.
