Re: Does Airtel DTH/Reliance Big TV DTH offer better picture than Tata?

can you confirm on the tripod / single arm (strut?) bit, as far as i can see the tripod is the most stable way to install the dish, and the single arm while it looks fancy, is nowhere near as stable. So can you tell me if the Airtel is a single arm or a tripod? (tata sky i know is always a tripod)

It was fixed after 36 hours. The Airtel guys in my area said they had almost 200 similar calls after the cyclone. No idea about TataSky numbers.

Unhappy Got Reliance Big TV... Uuuugh!

Just set up Reliance Big TV via component video and compared it to Tata Sky.

I just hate the Reliance picture!

It is just far too blocky; inspite of MPEG4, they still use too low a bit-rate for that to be an advantage over MPEG2.

Tata Sky also has blocky motion compensation artifacts, but Big TV is just plain offensive.

Checked channels like Nat Geo, Star Sports etc etc...

It is ironic that Big TV, Dish TV and Tatasky all take their customers for a ride by claiming low bit rate video to be "DVD Quality"

Take a properly mastered DVD, and you will never find a single motion compensation artifact on it!

And Reliance also seems to have some "step like jaggedness", which might be related to interlacing.

well first of all none of the DTH providers give DVD quality(except sun dth HD).secondly if u have a tv with poor de interlacer then the PQ will look kind a bad,since BIG tv or TS+ gives interlaced signal VIA component out.
