first of all cable tv topic should be discussed in other threads not in this one..
If I would have appreciated Tata Play for this move there is nothing wrong. I don't understand why you DTH lovers get triggered whenever someone discuss about Cable TV?
also me and my friends experience with cable tv is pathetic..
So, it's not fault of entire cable TV industry but your cable operator is not good better stuck with your DTH.
frequent cable line cuts during rainy season and windy seasons
Wait are you talking about DTH services? Because, as I've seen DTH are the first to run out of service whenever it's clouds out there.
Cable TV has no cut at all, maybe again your cable operator fault.
also channel count is very less.. also HD channel count is very very less
Wait what? Just look at the list of channel available on Fastway platform. Many of them are not even available on big player like Tata Play.
cable tv is just for ppl who cant afford dth service cost..and are happy with just limited number of channels.. so any day i will prefer DTH over cable tv..
Many can afford service cost anytime but still like Cable TV. You know why? Because, the cable operator is just call away, most cases he is friendly so understand our preferences. Again saying your local cable operator experience is not good doesn't mean entire cable industry work same way.
Local channels showing same repeated stuff that are present in every other channel otheriwse.. so no use of local channels..
Wait! Let me clear you I'm from Rajasthan and believe me I've watched lots of regional movies on
Padharo Sa a local Rajasthani channel only because of Cable TV.
Many local HD and SD movie channel showing movies from Bollywood, Hollywood, Punjabi, South Indian dubbed. Many Hollywood channel are showing in English only.
Where we have to subscribe to watch live darshan of temples cable operator give access to watch national and local temples. For example, Fastway Radiant is showing darshan from Ujjain Mahakaleshwar, Jaipur's Moti Dungari Ganesh Temple, etc.
Conclusion from my side is that, if your operator is good and have good MSO signed. You must try cable TV.
And, if your cable operator is third class service provider and you are in remote area go for DTH.
