Just saw an ad on tata sky channel 100 about a new tatasky mobile app which is supposedly coming soon. I don't have the details but based on the ad it seems it'll have streaming content available (again, no ideas if its live channels or other content). I know the general opinion isn't in favor of tatasky these days (with limited number of HD channels, higher costs, mega pack not getting the new SWP channel), but if they can provide something like the comcast (and other providers) apps in the US, it'll be a really great addition IMO. Let's hope they don't fudge it up somehow.
Tata Sky Mobile app with live tv online
- Thread starter nSinghal
- Start date
Looks like the app has launched now. Acc to the tatasky message, the app has over 50 channels showing live for Rs 60 per month (boo). Will give it a try once I'm home later tonight. But that's assuming tata sky allows a demo for a day. Not paying 60 bucks for the whole month only to find out its useless Or doesn't work at all within the first few minutes. I'll wait for someone else to give it a try if I can't demo it for a day before paying for the whole month first.
No demo. Minimum subscription is one month. Couldn't even find the list of available channels anywhere. Asked the CC rep to email me a list of available channel but they refused saying its not possible. Said he could tell me the channel names but can't email a list for some reason. No English entertainment or movies channles available. No interest in Hindi channels so didn't even ask which ones available.
Thought about giving it a try for a month but then decided against it. Didn't want to give tatasky the satisfaction that they could lure people into buying atleast a month of online tv by not providing any demo or trial options. Don't these idiots realize its not a hardware installation but an online service. Not providing a demo/trial is a suicide move for an online service.
Also I already wasted 60 bucks on the piece of crap known as Star World "premier" last month. Tatasky refused to terminate the channel from my package before the month was completed even though I called within an hour of the channel's premier. Not wasting any more money now.
Edit: oh, also found out dish tv already has a similar app. About 30 channels and some movies available for 69 a month.

It's really not about the 60Rs. a month. It's more to do with the Internet connection required to see the channels. Obviously you would want to see tv through mobile on the move and not when you are home. That means you need a 3G connection for which you would need to pay about Rs. 500 a month extra as you would need at least a few GBs of data pack. I could be wrong, but this is not making much sense!
