How do you get your TV signal?

[WHATSINANAME]

Back in the day, there was just one way to watch TV in India - climb on the roof, and fiddle with the antenna till your little sister shouted, "Stop! I can see something!!" And then you jumped down, breaking your leg in the process, only to find some politician you never heard of had just died and so there would be nothing on TV except sad people playing sad shenaayis, for the next thirteen days!!

Now, of course, there are many more - less idiotic - ways to get the idiot box working. Lets see how people here get their daily dose of drama and dharma, sports and soaps, sting ops and sitcoms, Larry Kings and Item Queens, Tech gyaan and tele-dukaans!

Hathway cable + STB,Bangalore supposedly DVD quality video, looks decent on my 22" Dell S2209.

There should be multiple choice options to enable as just one option is not sufficient enough for some users.

I have at home regular cable, regular cable + STB, Tata sky DTH SD box , Tata Sky DTH HD box and also dreambox.
