I completely agree with you guys... HSDPA tariff is worst for any private operator in comparison with EVDO tariff. May be author thought TATA Docomo is best among the worst.... It's better not to talk about BSNL EVDO. It's a total crappy n/w...one BTS in one town and called it as n/w. At least you need 2 BTS to satisfy the definition of n/w.

Kindly immediately take it to the purview of DoT(ddgpg-dot@nic.in) and TRAI(ca@trai.gov.in). Please also register your complaint in http://pgportal.gov.in/

I think you've confused with upscaling needed for SD projection on Digital TVs against transmission(compression/decompression) of HD channels. There's nothing called upscaling SD to HD. If it's there then all channels will be upscaled instead of select channels. There's a possibility to loose bit of resolution due to higher compression applied by DTH operator but that's nothing to do with broadcaster who actually delivers the feed to DTH/IPTV operators in true HD form. Corollary:: IPTV operator can deliver same HD channels with much better resolution than DTH operators since bandwidth on copper(ADSL/VDSL)/fibre(FttH) is very high compared to transponders of DTH. I can say for sure that there's a vast difference between Star Plus HD and Star Plus.

A fantastic and fabulous move by MTS. :hi2: Hope TATA and Reliance are listening.....

I cannot compare digital cable system against TATA Sky+ HD since I've never tasted that mode of delivery except for some rare occasions of hotel rooms in metros. There's a possibility that digital cable delivery might be superior than DTH platform but it's certainly not specific to TATA sky. My advice for the people living in Delhi and Mumbai is to go for IPTV which is far more superior platform than any other platform. I think Airtel and Reliance have their IPTV operations in those 2 cities. I can say for sure TATA Sky+ HD is far better than analog cable systems even for SD channels. Difference between viewing of SD channels from SD box and HD box exist with all DTH operators. It's illogical to compare one DTH operator's SD box against another DTH operator's HD box. If you want a better viewing experience of SD channels then go for component output from your box instead of HDMI output. + features (pause rewind forward record) work exactly in the way it's expected to do..... + features is something which we adore and use most compared to the rest due to different tastes between family members. Record feature ensures that our female members sleep early without missing their serials. The best part lies in forwarding the ads while watching recorded serials/movies. Record feature ensures that we don't miss late night movies. Certainly SD can be best viewed on analog TV(CRT) compared to any digital TV(LCD,LED,Plasma) for any delivery platform since there's need for scaling in digital TVs. This scaling is something which is to do with the box SW. It's where the difference comes. Some boxes will have better scaling than other boxes and hence different quality. IMHO, the quality of SD channels in TATA Sky+ HD is quite good and nice. TATA Sky HD+ works on Mpeg4 compression (more channels for same bandwidth) compared to TATA Sky Mpeg2 compression. In comparison with other Mpeg4 SD boxes(Reliance,Sun,Airtel,Videocon), it's not the best. I've not compared against other HD boxes till now. @Arun, as indicated by @dkaile installation is similar to TATA sky+ which was earlier available pan-India and hence all the technicians in non-metro towns should be aware of it. Get the delivery in metro address and install in non-metro address.

How come speed can go beyond theoretical max speed of 3.1 Mbps in a Rev A n/w ?? :confuse: Even if we assume Reliance has soft launched Rev. B n/w in Chennai, the device in question should not have supported Rev. B......... Are we missing something??

I think after reaching 500 cities/towns, Reliance has gone back to sleeping mode. :NOTriste: :unexp: http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/personal/internet/wireless_internet_coverage.html Come on Reliance, although the wood is dark and deep there're miles to cover before you sleep. Keep up the momentum..... :thumb:

Great to see that 3G coverage has reached 32 cities. http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/personal/3G/HTML/index.html Let us wait and watch whether they can reach 140 by end of March as promised.... :cheer:
