Hi,
This is my first post.
There seem to be a couple of un-answered questions / pointers that I would like to address:
1. There is no Piracy on the HD Content offered by ICC Pune. They are re-transmitting Free-To-Air channels currently available over India VOOM & LUX TV.
Yes, they provide HDTV STBs, to home that have a HDTV ready TV.
2. Reliance's IPTV and HDTV services are still to launch, so cant say of their content will be similar or different....
Reliance has been promissing IPTV for more than 3 years. IMHO, IPTV does not seem likely to suceed in India... atleast for the next 2 to 3 years.
NO Indian TV broadcaster currently offers HDTV transmissions on Satellite. Hence Dish TV only has HDTV Infra structure in place, but is NOT delivering HDTV content. ( Ditto for INX Nes ).
Since there is no India HDTV satellite content, no IPTV service ( or any other TV service except ICC's Cable TV in Pune ) offers HDTV content.
HDTV also requires HDTV ready boxes, ( applicable for DTH, IPTV or Cable TV ), and NO One except ICC Pune offers HDTV STBs.
What ever DishTV or Reliance may say, theirs are " Forward looking "
statements at best...
