DTH services in india are in there nacent stage.Few years ago DISH tv debuted in this segment and years after Tata sky entered in this segment.In areas where cable is not present or cable quality is not satisfactory,people are choosing more and more DTH services.We try to make an brief comparision between both of the DTH service providers.
How they work and how they are different from cable : TATA Sky and Dish TV is having big servers, it can send TV channels signal, any movie or game to your TV through set top box in digital signal from their own satellite. DTH Server acts like CPU and your TV acts like monitor. So the quality of TV channels are very good. If you want good experience of Indian satellite TV channel, you should choose TATA SKY service. It is better in comparison to DISH TV. While in cable system a cable operator interacts with satellite and transmits via cable to individual connections.
Advantage of TATA SKY: 1.Better customer service. 2.Set top box cost low 3.Movie on demand- watch the latest movies for less cahrges which you can watch multiple times till midnight 4.you can watch 4 hindi news channel together and 4 english news channel together. 5.low monthly fee 6.No hidden Cost.
Disadvantage of TATA Sky: 1.Less number of channel in comparison to Dish TV. 2.Low flexibility in choosing extra channels.
Dish TV have some of the facility of TATA SKY but its service is poor, cost is also high, hidden cost is more. But quality of TV channels is quite same.
