i already posted my cable wallah rates in other post posting here again
Chennai:

Today when the local cable person came for collecting monthly subscription he gave pamphlet that from nov onwards digital cable will come and its Govt. Cable their language, set top box cost rs.1450/- and monthly 145/- but no choice of channels nothing seems useless service. The lady just knows that from Nov onwards you will need one STB and pay Rs.145/- rest all will be same, even she doesnt know you can select channels in digitization or not, or pay per view channel is there or not, dont know i feel its not worth

The hall TV is connected to local cable and my laptop TV has dish tv, now planning to move the dish connection to main TV. Already i became fed up with the local cable channels all regional not a single hindi news or movies channels and am happy with the 190 Rs pm dish package, atleast i can see some good my choice channels.

Here people dont know anything about digitization as long as they get sun tv and some 10 other tamil channels they are happy, hence instead of fixing dish they prefer local cable wallah, who shows his own channels ,,
