TATA SKY vs ADTV vs BIG TV vs DISH TV vs SUN DIRECT vs VIDEOCON D2H vs DD DTH
I have already discussed on this topic earlier, The post is " BEST DTH SERVICE PROVIDER IN INDIA " when i wrote this post, at that time DTH is gaining ground in India, Most of the DTH operators were new in the market. But now things have been changed, DTH operators are now stable in the market, they have launched lots of new features, All operators have launched HD DVR(Digital video recorder), even Videocon launches 3D HD DVR.
Earlier Airtel Digital Tv broadcasting its services on Insat 4CR, but now its on SES 7 with more number of transponders that it can broadcast more number of channels.
All new operators using MPEG 4 Technology while Tata Sky and Dish Tv using MPEG 2 compression Technology. But these operators have MPEG 4 ready STB'S, so when they shift to MPEG 4, they can easily broadcast their services.
All DTH operators now offering HD channels on their platform, videocon offering maximum HD channels(Update : Now Airtel have maximum Hd channels). so if your television is HD supported then you must go for HD set top box
So with the time All dth operators adding new features, new technology and new channels to their platform, but it is still not easy to decide WHICH IS THE BEST DTH ?
If we talk about Airtel Digital Tv, its having best picture and audio quality, but complaint is pathetic customer care, Talk about Reliance digital Tv, having top class picture quality, but complaint of irritating logo, software problem and worst customer care
Talk about Tata Sky, big brand name, good quality, but expensive than others
About Dish Tv , cheapest channel packages, but picture and audio quality is not up to mark
Videocon have maximum number of channels, MPEG 4 technology, but complaint of picture hanging sometimes.
Here is small comparison among these Dth operators:
AIRTEL DIGITAL TV-
I find Airtel digital tv best in all manner, because it have super picture and audio quality, which must be most prefrable feature while choosing DTH.
Now because Airtel is shifted to new satellite that is SES7, so it have more number of transponders, so it can add more numbers of channel to their platform.
Advantages:
ADTV offers truly DVD quality picture and CD quality sound(best audio quality.. awesome)
packages and prices are good (Divided well for south and rest of India customers)
Universal remote(same remote for your Tv and STB first time in India)
STB software is very good
ADTV has less rain fed issue comparing to other Dth.
Presently offering maximum True HD channels
Disadvantages:
Disadvantage of ADTV is its interactive services, not able to provide good interactive services to customer ,Recently ADTV added some more interactive services, hope it will add more services and features soon.
Switching between two channels is bit slow
