Tech Review: TATA Sky - Isko Laga Dala to Life Jingala

I being a member of the TATA group finally gifted my sister a TATA Sky DTH connection on 10-Jan. Within 2-3 days the TATA Sky customer care people did something due to which multiple dealers started approaching my sister for the connection. Finally my sister fixed the deal with one of the dealers who delivered the Digicomp on 13-Jan & the installation finally happened today.

Since there was Line of Sight problem from my sisters balcony we settled to install it on the terrace, quite aware of the fact that cable guys keep fidling with it due to loss in their business. It took them around 1.5 years to align the dish & do the wiring stuff upto the TV. Finally everythign was plugged in to the right place & the POWER ON button pressed. BINGO....everything starts fine & the first thing to watch was Raageshwari....ya that ex-MTV-VJ. You might be thinking why the hell did I first talk about Raageshwari. Thats because there is a dedicated demo channel on how to use TATA Sky connection & the Digicomp & Remote features, & this channel is hosted by Raageshwari. So any problem with your settings....don't worry....press 999 from your Remote & Raags is there to help you out. The interesting fact is that both HINDI & ENGLISH audio tracks are available for this channel. Then comes a small green button which is used to change the audio track. And anytime you want to come to the main menu, just press the HOME button. Not to worry.....the usage was pretty simple. The picture & sound quality was obviously excellent. I guess to experience the excellent picture quality you need to get yourself a Plasma rather than sticking with your old 21' TV. Otherwise you will not realise the realistic images. Rest all the features worked fine as told by Raags. One nice thing was that even without using your Recharge vouchers you get free viewing time of 10 days.

Do you think everything is heading towards a positive & profitable direction. Just hang on. There is a small CATCH when it comes to the installation. Though you pay Rs.2999 for the Digicomp & Rs.1000 for installation..... you STILL DON'T OWN THE DISH.....you ONLY OWN THE DIGICOMP. So next time to plan to shift your house ensure to return your Dish to your current dealer & shell out Rs.1000 as installation charges in your new place from another dealer.

Thats why the tag line goes like ISKO LAGA DALA TO...........
