Thread: TATA sky or Dish TV?

Im from Vashi Navi mumbai & im confused which service should i choose out of TATA sky & dish. closed big tv connection... its not feasible any more.

Hello!Do U mean u closed Big TV DTH?U found it is not working after installing it?Surprising.For any DTH the only requirement is that the line of sight to the satellite shud not be blocked by multistoried bldgs etc.AS for choosing between tata sky and Dish(Zee) the only difference is cost.tata sky is the costliest DTH service.In ZEE dish TV u get almost all popular channels fr rs 350/month.Just check whether it includes the sports cvhannels like Star sports pack Neo sports etc.In tata sky all sports channels are separate packs at extra cost.So u decide on zee dish TV after checking how many sports cvhannels are included in the main pack.

I will suggest you Dishtv, reason being as you are from Mumbai and might also be looking for more marathi channels along with other channels.

So at present Dishtv have Max number of Marathi channels on their platform
Total 9 Marathi channels

DD10 Sahyadri (Marathi)
ETV Marathi
Mi Marathi
Star Majha
Star Pravah
Zee 24 Taas
Zee Talkies
Zee Marathi
IBN Lokmat

Further Dishtv have more number of channels then Tata Sky

Dishtv offer most economical packages and ala-carte as compared with Tata Sky.

Dishtv packaging are quite good then Tata Sky as Tata Sky does not include sports channels and other entertainment channel in their base pack and for which you have to pay extra.

Where as Dishtv offer all the important channels in their base pack and at very economical price.

Dishtv has Good software and hardware, better and faster channels navigation.

Very important to get detailed information, check their website and get to know the channel packages and offers etc. I have a Tata Sky STB and they have one of the best customer service with good after-sale service. Do thorough research before making a final decision.

I feel right now big tv is costing way more than any other I have seen. so I think using dish tv would be a cheaper substitute. Besides every one of them have Good quality signals so its not the reception part i'm complaining about.

Tata Sky has good features also with its ongoing offers and promotions it gives a lot of opportunity to win freebies and goodies!!

Advantages DishTV:

• Lowest cost at an good quality. Subscribe to annual Platinum pack (Rs. 3990/- incl. of taxes) and get all channels + one regional bouquet. Comparatively TataSky is Rs. 5500/- for equivalent Annual mega pack (all channels).
• Good service. I am a subscriber and I have never had to complain.

Advantages TataSky:

• Simply one of the best STB and user interface. DishTV's STB and interface is at best, poor.
• Slightly better quality of Video and Audio.
• Very good service.
• Annual mega pack is costly but carries price protection. And any new channel added during the year is automatically added to your pack at no extra cost.

Basically, it is choice between price and quality. Note that, I have DishTV at home and sometimes watch it on my projector. The image is blown to 8 ft. x 6 ft. and I find the quality reasonably (could be better). And this statement comes from someone who watches and is used to Blu-ray HD.

I agree with Tata Sky providing very good service:thumbup1: as it is outmatches others in Dth.

Does not mean that DishTV service is poor. Since I am not a TS subscriber, I cannot compare. But I can say that DishTV provides good service.

I wanna ask this! I know that we can attach only one set to setup box unlike cable tv, but is there a way to add 1 more?
