Hi guys,
I have subscribed both Videocon D2h & ADTV..
Here is my comparison of both on personal experience only on latest Samsung 50 inch 3D LED & 5.1 Home Theatre basis. I am not in favour or against anyone but comparison.
Pls suggest if mistaken.

1) Picture Quality
Videocon D2h
8/10 for HD & 7/10 for SD 23 HD channels for Rest of India
Airtel Digital TV
9.5/10 for HD & 8/10 for SD HD channels are much sharper, more contrast & looks like actual FULL HD than d2h if you observe thoroughly. Otherwise not noticeable for normal viewer.
19 HD channels for Rest of India

2) Audio Quality
D2H
5.1 Through HDMI true 5.1 on HT for few 10 HD channels, otherwise normal. 5.1 audio is loud while normal audio is very low compare to 5.1. Through optical SPDIF on HT.
ADTV
5.1 for few HD channels while normal audio but all channel audio is on same level no up & down like d2h.

3)User Interface
D2H
Slow & sluggish UI. Time to switch channel is more compare to ADTV.
ADTV
Very smooth, easy & fast UI. Time to switch channel is less compare to D2H.

4)Hardware
D2H
Cheap hardware feel, STB hangs & restarts automatically sometimes after replacing new also.
ADTV
Good hardware No issue.

5)Remote
D2H
RF remote no need to point like IR but feels sometime have to press hard to change the channels & sometimes channels skipped if press hard. Have to deal with 2 Remotes.
ADTV
Universal Remote for STB & TV so have the convenience of only 1 remote operation which is important if you are having multiple A/V devices.

6)Package Cost
D2H
Rs 481 for ALL HD SD channels. Premium package. Truly best value for money package in market
ADTV
Rs 525 Mega Pack little costlier than D2H.

7)Customer Care
D2h
Very good as per my experience quick field engineer support & understandable,
ADTV
Very good as per my experience quick field engineer support & understandable,

8)
D2H
3D content One 3D demo like NGC Channel but not impressive.
ADTV
No 3D content yet.

9)Conclusion
D2H
BEST VFM in market if you are not so concerned of best PQ.
ADTV
Overall Very good Package in terms of hardware, software & channels & definitely noticeable superior Picture quality than d2h.

Well that is depends on a lot of factors. May be a little off topic but I would like to share one incident.

Due to a marriage, I went to my cousin house in another city and there he has D2H on his 42 inch Samsung LED. As you guys know I am tataksy user but when I saw that I was shocked. Picture quality on HD feeds was looking better than Tata sky :skd and also SD feeds were like tata sky at least if not better and also I have heard a lot about software and all that but I used that for at least few hours and I did not get anything to complain. From that time, I am inching to get D2H. He was using some 555 model.

Now I realize why this is selling like hot cake. I hope they will continue the same way in their price...hya

Thanks for the review. Now Videocon comes with new 2244 STB. I have heard it is way better than anything available in India. How true is that? Can someone confirm?

Thanks in advance.
