Thread: Free to air.. Not on tata Sky

I have been using tata sky for 1year now. Its good that these ppl are providing pay channels like sun network for some extra cost.
I don't mind paying for these channels.
But about free to air channels??
In Andhra Pradesh, we don't get
tv5
zee telugu
vissa
samskruti

Well they would not prvodie any of these features right now as this service is newly launched and they are just keen in providing limited money making channels till the time they would have more competitors in this field.

If they are not providing it tehn you should ask there customer department why they are not providing it and if you do not get any relevant answer then you should write to there head manager of the zone.

Thats why TataSky has very low presence in AP.

FTA channels are available "free" in Prasar Bharati's DTH service only. You can install Prasar Bharati's DTH equipment for an initial cost (cost of dish, STB and installation charges) and then you can view them free for life - well almost free, because in Maharashtra there is an entertainment tax of Rs. 45 per month.

On either DishTV or TataSky, FTA channels are available "free" when packaged with other paid channels. So they are "free" or "not free" depending upon how you look at it.

So do you mean to say that one would have to get another dish and then watch it... like one cannot see the same free channels on the present Satellite TV service providers such as Dish and TATA Sky.
