I have both Tatasky and Airtel DTH in my 2 house. Tatasky offers NCF discount for some distributor curated packs( value lite packs). On the other hand Airtel advertise the packs without NCF (Rs. 153/-), which confuses consumers that Airtel is cheap and they trap. Airtel is not giving any Distributor discounts and charging complete Rs. 153/-
Real example of Kannada SD basic packs:
Tatasky: Kannada value lite 199/- including GST (Offers all Kannada channels except Sun network. If u add sun pack, total Rs. 235/-)
Videocon D2h: Popular Kannada Combo Rs.199/- including GST (Offers all Kannada channels except Sun network. If u add sun pack, total Rs. 235/-)
Airtel DTH: Airtel Kannada Regional Topup Rs. 114/- (catch no NCF added yet). Total = 114 + 153 = Rs. 267 /- (They show small numbers by excluding NCF in all their prices and tries to fool customer. Actually they are charging more than any DTH)
Sundirect : Kannada DPO pack 1 Rs.219.9/-(including GST except zee kannada, if u add, total = 219.9 + 22.42 = Rs. 242.32/-). Benefits - You will get all language Sun network channels free of cost.
