Hello All,

I have after a long thinking decided to switch to DTH.
I was browsing through the catalogs of all the DTH providers, I found Videocon's rates cheaper(Diamond pack is charged at Rs 275/- taxes included) as compared to any other DTH service provider.
As my cable-wallah charges us Rs. 300, and I think he provides us with all the channels, but the reception of some channels is bad.

So I want to know if Videocon provides good quality and service.

Thanks,
Aditya.

I dont know about the service and quality, but if you are someone who wants a wide range of channels then I would recommend going for something like Tata Sky, as they have many channels and I think the most out of all the DTH companies. You can also consider Dish TV, as Videocon has lesser channels than other DTH providers.

Actually I was originally going for DishTV untill I came to know about Videocon D2H.
As for TataSky, I don't find its pricing and package combinations attractive enough.

Thanks for your opinion.

how many channels ppl r watching at a time, these dth companies r fooling the common man. when dth was started, it was said that u only pay for what u watch. but its not the reality.
y dont they charge rs. 5/per channel n gv the option to viewers to select from the list, instead of giving bouquets.

I have purchased SettopBox n DVD, channel reception quality is good.
We dont have to switch cables for DVD and DTH since it is one pack.

Also current pricing 275 includes all the channels with good quality reception.

Worth a try.

its good than other dth cheaper and all major channels are there that we watch ,, i compared it with tata sky but found that tata sky is costlier.
d2h pack 275 is great all channels are covered sports , lifestyle, etc.

I have been using Cable Settop box Hathway for more than 2 years now, and it was only on this saturday that I decided to go for Videocon with Diamond Plan, which comes for Rs 275, all inclusive, and it s working fine. The picture quality is good, sound clarity is amazing, and so far its been a good experiance.

Has all the channels, of all the generes which we generally watch, movie, entertainment, sports, news.....

Going forward, it seems to be a clear winner.

Hi All,
I am using Videocon DTH from last 20 days.
Picture quality is good & I am totally happy with the quality & features.
There Active movies i.e. MovieOnDemand are still not fully operationalised so you will watch 6 movies all the time for free(although all are worthless including Ash movies Mistress of Spices).
Rates are cheapest as compared to Airtel & other DTH players & if you but a 6 month or 12 month Diamond pack (which contains all Channel inclusing English Movies & all Cricket channels) the average cost per month will be around 245 Rs.
Bye
Ravi

please don't purchase videocone d2h - because its signal quality is not good at the time, dont' purchase reliance big tv - because its signal quality is too poor it was fail in rainy & bad weather, dont' purchase tata sky - because it is too costly (pay more, get less) & also don't purchase sun tv - because in this dth you saw more south channels

Please & Please purchase Airtel Digital TV - because it was good in all fields (less amt., more channels, very- very good signal quality & picture quality is too good.)

I have a 2 Airtel digital tv in my house from last 1 year.
