Hi,
I used to be a TS SD user but 2 years ago while upgrading to HD I picked DishTV HD instead of upgrading the existing connection since TS at that time had not upgrade offers and their STB was relatively costlier and that DishTV had more HD content than TS.
I have had no complaints with TS but now I am looking at Videocon as well. One benefit with TS for me is that I already have a SD STB and can use multiroom connection if I go with TS. Videocon would cost double for me but I am really tempted by the fact that they now offer RF remote.
DishTV's remote was pathetic, as was their STB with mind numbing boot times. But their recent act of blocking subscribed channels unless you message them that you want it (mind you, these are channels that are not part of base pack but were subscribed on purpose) finally did it for me. I sent them a tweet on Thursday to fix it and they hvnt done so yet. Took my number and bombarded me with normal BS about how they are gonna fix it ASAP. Never even got a call from their call center.
My question is for those who have went from TS to Videocon. (quite many have done so here)
#1. Why did you make the move? Videocon is just only slightly cheaper and for top HD packs the difference is Rs50 (as per new TS charges) and for multiroom Videocon is Rs25 costlier.
#2. Is there anyone who regrets moving to Videocon from TataSky
#3 How different are the boot times on Videocon and TS?
#4 Any reason that I should not go with TSHD?
#5 How good is TSHD remote (DishHD's remote wouldn't work from even 7 feet away, or when it was pointed at TV, STB was just siting to the left of TV in visual range)
Good Remote, non laggy User Interface and fast boot times are priority , DVR isn't.
