RE: few important points comparison

Dish TV : No heard about Basic + Pure ala cart pack.
D2H : D2H offers Basic + Pure ala cart pack where user can subscribe for particular channel in price of pure ala cart price. All know pure ala cart pack is costly than subscribe to any add on but this option made available its not bad.

Dish TV : No way for news update information.
D2H : Offers about 10 stickers for free of cost for news updates.

Dish TV : No online chat support service but call me service, I think charges for SMS Rs. 5 one time from RTN & reply call free from them. Free toll no also available.
D2H : Online chat support service (Internet required & its free as usual) and toll free number for CC.

RE: few important points comparison

You are wrong.Dishtv provide chat option in its online selfportal.
But D2h chat option is very poor and always busy.
I have tried above 100times but unable to connect and tollfree number is a mess.
To add a channel,in Dishtv selfcare portel it takes 2 hours but D2h takes 24 hours to 48 hours.

RE: few important points comparison

Ya. Now I remember I think its only for A/c user only but not for all.

I tried chat of D2H, as you told we need to wait till any cc person connected to chat. Only 2 of 10 times my chat doesnt completed.

HD add on was taken less than a minute to active when I ordered & my pack upgrade took about 10 hours to upgrade.

Dish tv too take about 2 - 5 hours to add ad on.

RE: few important points comparison

I totally disspointed with ala carte active & deactive service from Dish TV. Very bad experience every time. I mark the service negative & not to 0. Very bad. Subscribe to any add on is like punishment self. I was thinking when I face this that I did a capital crime by subscribe to an add on. Really.
