Hi mylotters, at last i have taken this decision which i had kept pending for a long time. I had taken a CAS set-top box system about 3 years back as i had been told by my cable distributor that the reception was very good. For about a year it was excellent and i was happy because the picture and sound quality was ver clear and sharp. However once the warranty period was over things started going bad, ie there were fluctuations and disturbances in the picture. Sometimes i would get a distorted picture on the tv, sometimes the screen would go blank as there was some problem at the control centre. At times rival cable operators would cut our cable operators wire redulting i loss of transmission and that too when some important event was to be broadcast.
I was getting increasingly frustrated because our operator had started neglecting our complaints and would not turn up. Now completely fed up me and a couple of my neighbours decided to change over to Tata Sky Sat Tv as we had received good reports of their service. We took the step yesterday and have booked and placed the order. Once it is installed, which will be by this weekend we can look forward to good transmission, good quality picture and mainly freedom from the troublesome cable operator. Has anyone of you got this system installed in your house? If so please let me know how you find it.Thanks and happy mylotting.

thanks chaitra for your response. Glad to hear that the same system is in your mom`s house. Hope i am able to enjoy it too. Yes, they have added new channels like bindaas and colours an i got into the new plan which now costs Rs 275/month. I will be paying yearly so i will get 10 months plus two months free viewing.lol.

I have a Tata Sky satellite tv installed in my house and am very happy with the picture and sound quality. And besides I have the option of putting reminders for the next five days programmes that I want to watch. Then there are some nice movies on Showcase that I can order by just sending an sms. Their customer service executives have also always been helpful. I hope you too enjoy the Tata Sky.
