This is now getting extremely frustrating with TS raising charges for every bloody service that they are providing.

What are they thinking? They have the lowest number of HD channels, the quality is also not outstanding and they have the balls to increase prices!

Seriously they are digging their own grave and seems the time has come to move to other providers.
 
I guess it's plain & simple economics. The demand for STBs is high because of the recent digitization. The cablewalas don't have enough boxes to supply and people need to watch IPL somehow.

It makes biz sense in the short run. Milk the consumers for what they got. But in the long run, I'm sure this greed will come back to bite them in the ___!

I cancelled the HD part of my tatasky recently after they started charging 1200 buck a year for mirroring the SD channels. I guess i'll be looking for a new service provider soon.
 
I pay Rs. 8600 per annum for two connections (both HD). I think that that is hell of a lot. I am in no mood to accommodate further northward movement.
 
I have 2 HD and 1 SD box and this is beyond the point of my tolerance now :mad:

Wish I could sell my boxes or transfer to someone else....
 
I guess they are into 'make hay while the Sun shines" mode. Sad.

What about making our own package... is it available on TS? Does it give any savings if we choose say only 30% of all channels in a standard package.

Yes. "Make my package" is available option. But a-la-carte prices are so high that this option is practically useless.
 
I do had the same thinking regarding high price of TS packages. But I came to know from somebody about Supreme Sports Pack @ 1200 for the whole year. It was March 2012 when my previous monthly subscription ended in late feb. 2012. And my kids exams were to be scheduled in March 2012. So I decided I will recharge my account after the exams i.e. after 25th March 2012. Meanwhile I started getting calls from customer care regarding the recharge of my pack, but I told them that I will recharge after my kid's exams. Surprisingly they began to offer me some special offer/ discount such as If I recharge for 3 months then my monthly pack of 250 ( appx) . I dont remember exact amount, will cost me 220 and If I recharge for 6 months it will cost me Rs. 200. But this was a limited time offer ( as told by TS customer care executive). But I didn't want to recharge due to the exams of my kids. But Luckily I met with a person in the last week of march 2012 and shared all these concerns. He told me to call TS customer care and to ask that I want to recharge my account annually for Supreme Sports pack which is available at Rs.1200 and TS executive told me to hold the call while she confirms the same from her senior. And after some time she told me that the same pack was availabe for me. But she told further that this Pack is now revised and now is called Supreme Sports Special pack @ 1500 for the whole year and also include either 4 cartoon channels or 2 cartoon channels with Star movies and AXN. I decided to go for 2 cartoon with Star Movies and AXN. So, Now enjoying the service at a Discount.
So Guys you too can try as the Tata Sky commercial says " poochhne me kya jata hai "

TS Motto: "Pooch lo nahi to hum lootne mein lage rahenge".

I asked them but at the time of renewal but they denied having any special plans. :mad: May be they used to offer such discounts in early 2012, has anyone got such offer from dec'12 onwards?
 
Why do u say so? It is neither a fake statement nor meant to provoke people to pull out of TS.

It is in your face statement nothing else...

Unless your meaning for troll is something else
 
I was thinking for some time to upgarde my Tata sky connection to Tata sky HD. Thank God that I didn't do that. In fact the local cable guy is offering me Hathway HD for Rs.300 per month (with more number of HD channels) and he has been frequently requesting me for more than a year. In fact I was using the cable service from the same guy (for nearly 5 years) before getting TS and the price never changed from Rs.250. I was very much disappointed with the way TS changed it's pricing for HD channels. I thought why one has to pay even for SD channels just for mirroring it to HD. I am sure TS will keep on throwing some unpleasant surprises in coming months to come. In fact I have stopped recharging the Tatasky connection for more than 3 months (just watching only DVD movies though :D). Going by these GREEDY practices of TS (or any other service provider for the matter), I am some what inclined to go for Hathway HD from the local cable guy itself.
 
Im in the same boat too with 2 TS SD connections. Was thinking of upgrading to HD in June when my annual Mega SD pack expires. But I guess Videocon is the way to go. Cheapest price (Platinum HD @ 5500pa) & most true HD channels...
 
Wharfedale Linton Heritage Speakers in Walnut finish at a Special Offer Price. BUY now before the price increase.
