I am sorry but your post hardly made any sense to me. May be I am too thick to understand what you are trying to say... could you please rephrase..

DishTV and SunTv both seems to b in a hurry to get numbers. which is a must for all. problem is the company is happy to appoint franchisees to oversee the operations rather than assuming full responsibility. where will teh customers go if there is a technical hiccup. in TataSky's case the company handles it.
people of india still do not demand moneys' worth. they still like the trash. if a tatasky subscriber moves out of bombay and goes to kolkatta, he still get the service in the same subscriber id. normal documentation like change of address and intallation is all they need at the new place. other operators since handled by franchisees problems are bound to crop up.
i did not say lower price is bad.

Customer care of Tata is as bad or good as Dish TV. I have tata sky at home and you are put on hold for atleast 7-10 min before they pick up the call.

Offlate, Tata sky is making the STAR sports/ESPN/Start cricket as paid channels. THis wont go down with the viewers very well especiall with Big TV launch coming up in Dec.

I have DishTV and its good. The only bad thing I can think of besides the nagging ●Active logo(on channels like sports, movies etc) is non user friendly menu(just like their website).

Every year on Dec 31, my Dish Tv comes up for renewal and every last 2 years I thought about switching to TataSky but have not found a compelling reason to do so. If TataSky waved off installtion and STB charges (on account of my switching) I may have considered it.

Then TataSky brought in the channel package seggregation and that put me off to some extent. I am getting reasonable good quality signal and I have no real complaints against the CC - in fact I rarely had to go to them. So "never fix anything that ain't broken" rule applies.

I have the following compalints though:

Rain outage is more on DishTV than TataSky.
The user interface is not good.
There is a one/two second delay when you switch channels.
The electronic program guide is quite unfriendly.
As vishnus89 said, the ●Active logo is irritating - but so is the case with TS also.
Till date, I have never recieved a payment receipt - electronic or paper.

I forgot to say few details I guess it’s because I am used to it by now.

● Dish TV’s interface was the best before they upgraded.
● It was simple and easy for anyone to understand (anyone who read the manual).
● Dish TV’s ads were so catchy that I couldn’t wait to get updated.
● I mean glossy vista like interface and real-time news and stuff like that.
● All I am getting now is a Turbo C++ like visual interface (may be its because my TV is not good).
● It's not very difficult if you use windows OS.
● I never ever used any of the ‘Active Services’ yet.
● I don’t know why anyone would use it.

(I exaggerated a little OKAY.)

I would still like to get the old interface back if there is way. If anybody know a way to do it please share.

I really don't care to wait and happy to for 7-10 mins coz atleast i get satisfactory answer or resolution after waiting for 7-10 mins but in case of other providers like sify need to wait for hours and hours due to the wrong information, which one is better waiting on phone for 10 mins or sitting back idle and waiting for hours or days with wrong information.

Cable TV provider is better than all these DTH Service providers. I am well satisfied with Hathway who are my Cable TV providers.

I have been using Tata sky and am very happy with the service (it appears that the polls validate my sentiment). I went for Tata Sky because of the Tata brand. The Reliance is only after your money, tata get you quality.
