Thread: Tata Sky Consumer Offer : Installation Free.

Tata Sky has launced a new consumer offer w.e.f 25th Nov. 2009 . Limited Period Promotion. This offer can be expressed as a price solving factor as you are entitled to a free STB and get a complete waiver on the Standard Installation charges of Rs 1,000. Both existing as well as new subscribers can avail this benefit and get a 100% off on their installation. Installation Free Offer : DTH – Tata Sky DTH in India, Leading Satellite Television Provider in India, DTH service by Tata Sky

This is very good for new subscribers. Hope they don't keep waiting and avail it soon. Also, wish they will pass some benefits to old customers too.

This is indeed good news. Many DTH operaters come with such schemes from time to time - remember the DishTV Free STB offer?

But this a typical shaving razor stick and shaving blades policy. Sell the razor stick cheap but make the blades costly. Same holds true for colour inkjet printers/ink cartridges also.

Installation/CPE, etc. are one time costs. Subscribed services cost is perennial.

Absolutely Correct, Here Tata Sky came with a installation free offer where they won't charge for installation but Their Packages and ala-carte are very costly which makes Tata Sky very costly.

This offer could cover up for the packages.

For how long? The rebate will cover at most six months of subscription cost. Many other DTH providers are providing similar offers and yet their packages are not so costly.

For instance, Videocon D2H is offering connection for Rs.1990/- (Rs. 1690/- for STB, Rs. 300 for installation). With this, you get either

- 3 Months Diamond / South Diamond / AP Diamond Pack free.
Or
- 5 months of Gold/South Gold/AP Gold pack free

Videocon D2H diamond pack is only Rs. 275/- pm incl of taxes. It has almost all premier channels in the package and hence possibly the cheapest of all right now.

So ultimately it comes to the same thing more or less.

THERE ARE NO FREE LUNCHES.

D2h with its new brand positioning in the market may start with a price competitive to higher brand and slowly will bring changes and raise its price.

Possibly.

But DishTV is also offering free STB when you subscribe to at least six months of Platinum pack.

Offers by different players give consumers a lot of choice option also encouraging competitive pricing which benefits customers.
