Need urgent info from all.
how is the service of tatasky in bangalore ?
if i buy a tatasky hd monday, in how many days are they going to activate my tatasky hd box ( approx days).
anybody's recent experience in bangalore will help
 
Not sure about Bangalore. In Mangalore, it was installed on the 2nd day after i placed the order over the phone. It was activated immediately, including the HD channels. BTW, I'm an existing subscriber. not sure if the quick activation was because of that. My installation was done 4 days back.

Quality - HD is superb! other channels - have greatly improved with the new box. As of now, I'm watching it in my projector - 110 inch screen (My LCD is under repair). it is awesome:clapping:

There is no standard TAT in Bangalore. Some of us have got activations done within hours (even during the time I was waiting for several days, escalating to get the installation done soon after full payment) and some got it done only after several days and weeks (like me).

Basically activation happens within 10mins after successful installation and software download (strangely all TS boxes come without any firmware and need it downloaded before they can be used for activation). Installation and Activation takes about 2 hours. So if you could get the Technicians come within 24 hours, it can get activated by then.

It also depends on availability of the STB so you may have to wait longer if it is not available.

Swapping the box doesn't take more than few minutes (just connecting IF cable to the new STB and connecting HDMI cable to the TV). So the technicians must have happily done it quickly to get more revenue without any sweating of installing the Antenna and running the cable.

Infact anyone of us can swap the STBs for TS HD connection without any assistance. Only for TS+HD you need to run additional cable and install a different antenna (ideally) and LNB.
 
Only you need to pair the Digicard with the new box which has to done by the technician only.

yes, i had done the swap myself and then had to wait a week for them to pair and activate. it can be done remotely and can be done in minutes,

may be you will have better luck with being in bangalore.
 
I got mine installed a week before. The installation happened exactly a week after i had booked online. They had however promised me it would happen within 2-3 days at the time of booking. The installation did take a couple of hours and activation of the SD channels was immediately post install. The HD ones though took about 3 hours for activation.

The reason for the delay given by both the customer service and the service engineers was that there was a shortage of STBs
 
Narayan,
i have sent u a PM on my concern. Any help is appreciated.
He really cant help you other than covering you top to bottom with TS praise! I have and extensive discussion with him to be more rational but he seems to have born only to praise TS and hurling comments on those who find fault with TS.
 
Since i booked LG LV 5500 yesterday, there was some confusion regarding with Tata Sky HD activation.
the retailer told me that the coupons they have expires this thursday. So only i started this thread. Later when i went to pay the cash, i spoke to him once again and he worked out a coupon which expires another week later like next week. So i am happy now . Hope i get the installation and activation done this week only.

+1.

Mr. Narayan is not a rational fellow. He wants to criticize everybody else and praise someone to such an extent that it becomes nauseating. According to Mr. Narayan, TataSky is the best thing that happened in this world after invention of the wheel. He simply cannot tolerate anything said against his beloved.

For instance, we have enough reports of TataSky failing to install a service after accepting payment online, promising delivery in one or two days and yet failing to complete the work after several days. According to the 'esteemed' member, this is because TS is genuinely contrained due to lack of CPE. When others face similar predicaments, then it is deficiency in service, cheating customers, daylight robbery, and other such acidic comments.

All of the rest over here are very objective in praise or criticism of any service provider. But if someone says anything bad about TS, our "Dexter" is out to avenge.
 
Folks,
kewl down. relax. End of the day the forum is to help others and at same time receive help too.
hmm i got the coupon today. the expiry says thrusday. I have no idea why the retailer that told me that the coupon expires next week.
Anyway since i got this box because i got LG TV. I had to send SMS to a particular number which i did. I got a reply " In next 24 hours some one from tata sky will contact". wow. I immediately called the customer care. I told him the situation. He took all my details. I asked him what if the installation does not happen. He ensured that they are aware of the situation and they will ensure that the installation and activation will complete before expiration.
I will update as things happen.
 
well mr. u canb think wwhatever u like. i know very well that i state only the facts. infacts its members like prankey who have just one business of inserting praises of dish tv in every thread and writing absurd wrong false info about tata sky. i have noticed this for long. its a fact that a person who speaks truth has to face the flak and i m facing it too. so i dont care about what some people think bcoz i know i m honest and only stating the truth to help others. whether u like it or not, tata sky has proved why they r leaders and anyone who uses it and then shifts to other operators or vice versa will fell the same(ya some people like prankey would still desperately promote false rumours about tata sky, so ignore). competitors or unnecessary bashers can try any no. of tricks to defame tata sky but they will not succeed. instead dish tv and reliance should stop their cheating tactics , that would much beneficial to divert energy to

DAMN, WHEN DID I PRAISE DISH TV NERD??? I SUFFER from their incompetency and issues from these operators. And its my responsibility to spread awareness for the same so all can COMPLAIN and get the issues sorted! And you, instead of understanding and appreciating our concerns and help us make your BELOVED operator really the best by resolving those issues, choose ONLY to praise them BLANKLY!

Only you are the most intolerable individual I have seen on EVERY FORUMS. Thought we already discussed the issues with TS and Dish TV!

For your kind information I have RETURNED my Dish HD connection, took compensation for all the UNETHICAL issues they did, however truth is truth. Dish TV doesn't do Audio Engineering like TS does which KILLS the experience. To add, most of the frequently watched channels are given in MONO sound for no apparent reason by TS (AND - they STILL say it is in Stereo!). And the remote of TS+HD has one of the cheapest construction where the keys are very soft, lacking firm feedback like those with hard membranes do.

So issues exists with every operator and the reason I am sticking with TS is entirely based on the COMPROMISE made among these two (I prefer watching Star HD channels and having a DVR, and hence I have kept it).

I WARN YOU AGAIN to test our patience, before you are PERMANENTLY BANNED from ALL the forums. You seems to have NO IDEA how IRRATIONAL and IRRITATING you are. I feel like pulling my hair when I see your posts and language you use for TS and other forum members!

Its almost like you are doing ANTI PUBLICITY of TS by IRRITATING and PROVOKING other members to criticize TS MORE after reading such IRRATIONAL posts from you. You should know that you are only ONE OF YOUR OWN KIND in this ENTIRE UNIVERSE! HAIL TS for creating an ANGEL like you who could ONLY IRRITATE other members to the CORE!

Hehe, well said. I agree, he may need few more births to understand WHY we get so fumed by his BLANK, GOOD FOR NOTHING posts which DO NOT ADD ANY VALUE to our discussion.
 
Would request the mods to close this thread as i don't see it trending in a positive direction.
 
Do we really need such heated arguments for Tatasky HD activation?:rolleyes:
We don't if that member is rational in his writing. Its actually way beyond this thread I am struggling to make this person realize that he do not add any value with such BLANK and UNREASONABLE praise of Tatasky. They are another service provider of India which also have several challenges and are no way perfect as this person try to project despite all the constructive criticism.

I would also suggest mods to delete all the posts including mine which do not add value to the discussion.
