Seeking Help Best DTH service to buy after NTO 2.0

[Arun Nehra]

We all are using best DTH/ Cable TV in our house whichever it is.

Yes. The 'Best' quality product is a relative term for each end consumer. Which suits anyone's need to the acceptable reality, is the best one for him/her.

To be fair these are the pros of DTH companies

Airtel - Bundles with Airtel Black. You use telecom services anyway. So if you have a big family or use Airtel's broadband services. Airtel is ideal for you. Affordable box with recording.

Tata Play - For HD and niche offering.

Sun - Extremely low NCF.

Dish/D2h - I dunno much about same. So I can't comment.

For Dish/D2H they have a few Dish combos with lower NCF

Another pro I found is availability of DD FreeDish channels. So you get DD National HD, DD News HD and DD India HD.

I could only find DD National HD on LCN 698. Don't know about others.

So all FreeDish channels not available? Can you confirm whether we get encrypted channels like NDTV India and MTV Beats from DD FreeDish?

Exactly. This is quite disturbing. Only good thing is DDFD logo is a bit transparent on SD channels.
