Maybe it is you who needs to check the facts.
Fact 1: Zee Telefilms Ltd owns a '
controlling' 50% stake in Ten Sports and have ever since November 2006.
Zee Telefilms picks up 50% stake in Ten Sports
Fact 2: I have both 'Sun Direct HD' and 'Dish TrueHD' along with SD 'Dish TV' and 'Airtel IPTV'. In fact I have had 'Dish TV' long before it was even commercially launched and the likes of you had even heard of what DTH is. I was also one of the first to get 'Sun DirectHD' and also 'Dish TrueHD' installed when they launched.
Fact 3: Unlike the TRUE HD coverage of the IPL, FIFA World Cup and Wimbeldon, the so called Ten Sports HD coverage of the India - Sri Lanka series was only in upscaled SD and that too with 4:3 coverage shown with an incorrect aspect ratio of 16:9.
Fact 4: I compared the SD coverage and the so called HD coverage of Ten Sports side by side, numerous times and although there was a slight improvement over the otherwise totally crappy picture of SD channels, the benefit was mostly nullified by the squeezed picture due to the incorrect aspect ratio.
Fact 5: The so called 'Ten Sports HD' coverage of the India - Sri Lanka series, when compared to the IPL, FIFA World Cup & Wimbeldon coverage by Sony MAX, ESPN and Star Sports HD is liking comparing a VCD at it's best with an average Blu-ray.
Fact 6: Zee TV is 'lying' and at the very least 'misleading' consumers, specially ignorant consumers such as yourself, by terming and advertising upscaled channels as HD. No amount of upscaling can create resolution that does not exist and therefore even the best upscaling can never compete with true HD quality.
Fact 7: Upscaling itself is rather easy and simple in today's day and time, infact even cheap $40 DVD players do it for you. As a matter of fact every single flat panel HD TV sold has a built in scaler and by default upscales all SD signals to match the TVs native HD resolution. The benefits if any of these upscaled channels compared to the SD counterparts are not as much due to the upscaling, but rathe the benefit is from the better quality compression and higher bandwith allocation to the upscaled channels.
Fact 8: It is you who needs to experience some real/true HD and learn a few things about technology before you go slamming people publicly on forums.
Fact 9: Every Tom, Dick & Harry is upscaling. In fact it is 'Sun Direct HD' that started this nonsense and has upscaled 'Colors' and 'Sun TV'. 'Tata-Sky HD' has upscaled 'Star Plus' and now 'Star Sports' and even 'Dish TrueHD' has upscaled 'Zee TV' & 'Zee Cinema'.
PS: I presume you meant to write 'Dish TV is spreading lies' and not "Dish TV is spreading likes".
