Thread: Tata Sky vs. Dish Tv

Hi

As i said in some of my previous posts that i m done with this local cablewalla who is providing Cable and Internet at my home and my mom want sky tv so here i would love to see your suggestions on same topic can you please suggest me if Tata Sky is better than Dish Tv or not.. and which one should i go for now..

i have already done research on both and somewhere i can see that both are equal in price and channels, which make me more confused

so please suggest which one is better... :taz:

and there is one more in line which is Big Tv... i really dont like this name.. Big Tv... this sounds like a big banana... as i was trying to check installation charges and stuff but there is nothing on BIG TV

I am good and everything is fine. I was not on line yesterday.

The reason why I like Dish TV is that they have not reclassified packages like TataSky (well, as yet anyway).

i dont know whats wrong with me... i just want to go for Tata Sky... i think its coz of brand name...

You should not go for brand name. You should go for who is the best.

In terms of signal quality, TataSky has a slight edge. Their STB interface is also much-much better.

DishTV has better package and plus they offer STB free with the Rs. 3990/- yearly subscription. They have more movies and music channels. In terms of Value for Money, DishTV is ahead.

As far as CC is concerned both are in the same boat.

fine i will speak to mom once again n then will think about it again... but need it urgently..

Why don't you proceed as follows:

a) Make a list of most wanted channels - those which you would like to watch, those your mom and others in the family would want, etc.
b) The above list will more or less decide your package
c) If you like more movies and music, DishTV has better offer in the Maxi package
d) If you are not interested in sports (and cricket) TataSky has removed it and put it as an add-on package so you are not unnecessarily burdened.
e) I have found DishTV web site and payment/renewals by Credit Card extremely comfortable. Maybe TataSky is the same also.

I feel that at this moment DishTV has a definite edge in terms of pricing. The only discount offer that I have heard from TataSky is that if a friend refers you (gives you referal codes), then you get one month free viewing while your friend gets 2 months free. Afterwards you can also refer friends and avail the free viewing offer. I do not know whether add-on packages are included in the free viewing offer.

Finally, on a 29" or a smaller TV, video quality difference will not be that evident.

you have to wait as lot of big companies are entering in dth market. At present tata sky,dish tv and sun dth are there. The poll should include sun dth :19:also

i understand that it should include sun dth also but here we are just trying to compare 2 providers.. and thats the only reason i provided 2 options in poll without even that any other option

Tata Sky is best because of its service.

I dont think dish tv has a good costemer service. And that too its very slow than TS

Tata Sky vs Dish Tv is like Airtel vs BSNL.

The former(s) have slightly better service and quality but the later(s) have more value for money plans.

and i think one should always go for better and stable service... if you get a good service then paying a little higher amount never pinch...

Have you got the idea, what to buy???

As I am subscriber to tata sky dth the quality is good .Regarding tariff you should compare with other dths. The big tv dth has been launched. :51:

yes please i m booking tata sky with my next salary... month end mae to you all know...

wipro ki garib janta... :taz:

Tata Sky is much better than Dish TV, whether its the channels available or the features Tata Sky is the best to get, well worth the money spent on it.

yes i already had a word with Tata sky cust care and they are saying they can install it and activate it in 3-4 days... and after that they are offering me 3 moths free rechage...

thats a pretty good deal you got!

3-4 days! are they joking? my neighbour had it installed 3 days back and they immediately activated it after installing it. i must say they are really fast.

yaa i think but my friend was telling me that on tata sky he got 6 months free when he subscribed for it in Jan 2008

I have both Tatasky (one year) as well as Dishtv(two years).

Dishtv offers more channels(especially from Zee)

Quality equal (understand Dishtv uses better technology)

Customer care and easy interactive response Dishtv way behind Tatasky. Usage/Billing information from Taasky excellent. Recharge procedure from Tatasky simple and good.

Am planning to convert into Tatasky multiple connection and give up Dishtv

Please refer this post from me: http://www.indiabroadband.net/dish-t...html#post36132 (Not Impressed with Dish TV)

1. I would tend to vote in favour of TataSky in terms of signal quality (slightly better).
2. Recharge procedure is quite good with DishTV also. I used recharge facility only once but I find that paying by CC much more convenient and less problematic.
3. I had to call CC just twice on issues - other times (twice) was for MOD. I could get thru to CC in little less reasonable time (5 mins) but my issues were resolved within a day or two.
4. I always subscribe for a full year and that way I get two months discount. Because of this I rarely have to call CC at all.
5. I am not planning to change from DishTV because for Rs. 4500/- pa (multi-tv maxi package with discount), I get to watch many more channels. For TS, I will have to pay Rs. 5250/- (again refer to the above link) and I will only get a few more channels.

If in future I buy a large screen LCD and I find quality not good enough, I may switch.
