city02 63 Report post Posted September 2, 2011 i finally got TS+ and despite the installer insisting that we had to stop our regular cable so he could swap the old wire for the TS wire, we finally got both by paying rs. 1 k extra without any bill of course so they could 'pull' the new wire through the walls. though it felt like an illegal payment, due to some absurd reasoning that TS does not permit such wiring work it was worth it not to have any visible wires coming in from any windows which was the only other option. since we stay in a 18 floor building, they did not even need access to the roof to install the dish [my wife refuses to have any ugly contraption visible from our flat / balconies]. they were able to plug into existing dish infrastructure which was super nice. it was all over in about 1-2 hours from the doorbell ringing to the workers leaving which was better than expected. my irritation was with the buying process - there should be an option to simply add on the rs. 1.5 k in additional fixed charges [rs 500 for some box like white device with a bunch of plugs approx 1-2" wide and 3-4" long] and rs. 1 k for the initial recharge / top up for activation and subscription. we went for the ala carte pricing and got about half a dozen english channels: star world hd star movies hd fox crime espn star sports ananda [bengali for the wife] we plan on adding: fx axn zcafe bbc entertainment but the sms ADD feature is not working for our primary mobile # we also tried to download the supposedly free iphone app but were asked for payment authorisation so we cancelled it there seems to be a limit on the number of series you can setup for recording and we reached that on the 1st day of use! but it seems kind of absurd when we have 97% free space - why should there be ANY limit? just keep recording till the space runs out. i think we had about half a dozen series recording set up after which we could only record individual episodes the timings were also off: simpsons started almost a min before the recording and law & order started over 5-6 min later which was annoying and might be a channel issue rather than TS+ how do you save 'bookmarks' or chapters so that you can resume watching a recording a few days later? we can do that on our older DVR [lg and panasonic] so it should not be a big deal is it hard to make DTH interactive? we should be able to add or delete channels from the STB alone instead of using our mobiles i loved the fact that 2 simultaneous channels could be recorded like TiVo and oldest watched episodes would be automatically deleted if we ran out of space while the unwatched ones would be kept - i wish our older DVR had those options too i would also like the following channels in HD: star sports zee cafe all movie channels surprisingly i can't make out much difference on my LG plasma between SD STB [digital] and HD [DTH] other than the aspect ratio [no more stretching] of course there is a huge difference between analog and digital cable best value for money so far in PVR: lg was 160 gb for rs. 15 k [singapore] = rs. 94 / gb in 2009 panasonic was 250 gb for rs. 16 k [hong kong] = rs 64 / gb in 2010 TS+ was 380 gb for rs. 6.5 k = rs 18 / gb in 2011 the PPV / pay per 'event' option is fibe for regular DTH but obsolete for recorders since VOD would always be better for the same content - why would you watch anything live when you can watch the recording as you please [excluding live / breaking news of course] now we can finally not renew our subscription to 70mm for dvd rentals since their service & selection is quite bad - just record from the movie channels! i'll still rent from big flix since i like watching the bonus features and commentary on dvds but probably half as many discs. the dvd rental stores don't realise DVR will make them obsolete and reduce piracy over the next few years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
me_saket 73 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 purchased two set top boxes from tata sky. There was offer on 29th OCT "Jhingalala saturday" I am more than happy. Never thought that i will purchase HD PVR. But when i heard offer. it was cheaper than normal HD box. so didnt resiste myself for buying 2 boxes. I was very busy in handling TATA SKY engineers from last 4 days. And finally connection activated yesterday. Those Technician(tata sky called them as ENGINEERS) are so irresponsible and wasted my more than 10 hrs in last 4 days. Bcoz my preferred technician was on leave for 3 days, and finally he came and provided me service. HD+ is awesome with HD channel clarity and pause and live feature. I had noticed one problem today. If i mute sound from tata sky remote for 15min, then after unmute also no audio comes. i need to make box standby for 5 second, does anybody faces such issue with HD+?
