Do you have Videocon D2H installed? Can you share some points regarding the picture quality/sound quality of the transmission.

I have Videocon SD DTH. I got a promotional message from Videocon yesterday to return my SD DTH & upgrade to HD DTH and they return 1,000 Rs for old STB. Not very sure how much the HD DTH costs & the monthly rental including all their "Asli" HD Channels. Will enquire with their CC support team and update in a while...

Any one here who has been already using the HD service from Videocon ? Plz share your views on Picture quality & Audio quality ?

How is SD quality compared to Tata Sky?

 

[elangoas]

I believe, Tata Sky has both Composite & Component video connection on its SD STB. Videocon has only Composite Video. When i connect that to my Panasonic LCD, it displays the video received as 480i. It is good i would say.

As far as the English movies channel, all of them look better than the regional channels. Sound quality is equally good on these channels & particularly Sony Pix is excellent from other channels.

PS : I have currently subscribed to South Diamond pack.

I believe output should be 576i (PAL equivalent) and not 480i (NTSC).

Can we opt for rest of India packs in South?

[dillihifi]

Does anybody who has d2H HD post their impressions regarding the PQ of SD and HD channels. Further would also like some impressions of the sound quality / and whether sound is with DRC or not / 5.1 DD sound or not for the HD channels .

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Can it play DD audio on hd channels with out a coaxial cable ? So far I have not seen even one single box from any provider capable of doing it. I wonder why ?

does box is with 7.1 audio or 5.1 audio. Because nothing was mentioned in the Print AD and nothing is mentioned on their website regarding audio.

 

[rana_kirti]

can D2H owners tell us what exactly is being shown on the Active HD 3D channel ? And has anyone tried it with a 3D tv ? How's it ?

Thanks

I have the d2h HD DVR.
Video output is 1080i
I need to check the audio. I am using the HDMI cable.
The HD channels are excellent quality esp the Sports channels which are what I usually watch.
I will get back about the audio.

 

[adarsh]

I bought d2h HD today. HD channels are treat to watch. When i connected coax output to my AVR ( HK 330), it shows PCM 48khz. I assume that HD channels are not in 5.1 format. Bit disappointed.

@garfield does HDMI supports 5.1? did u test it on HD channels?

@rana_kirti - they are showing some japaneses magic channel in 3D. Same video is shown in two halves of the tv screen. I dont have a 3D TV. So cant say much on 3D.

Videocon D2H leads the pack with maximum number of real HD channels. Check ads in today's newspapers. Well designed campaign.
