We had our first cable connection in between 1991-1992 (When Zee TV was launched)
Then my father bought own 6ft. dish in 1993-1994. We were watching
Star Sports,
Channel V,
EL TV (later became Zee India TV & then Zee News),
Zee TV,
Star Plus,
Zee Cinema(later became paid channel),
PTV (Pakistani govt. channel),
Star Movies (later became paid channel)
I remember in late 90' another Pakistani private channel Indus TV was launched.
Also one channel UTN was launched from Zee, Apart from that other channels like Alpha TV Punjabi, Alpaha TV Bangali, Sahara TV were launched on the same platform
Then within a year or two he bought the second 6ft dish after launching of Sony TV, I guess (Between 1995-1996), He setup 2 LNBs on a dish.
From 1st LNB We were watching
Sony TV,
SET MAX (launched around 1999),
Cartoon Network/TNT (After 8.00pm),
CNN,
MTV.
And from 2nd LNB we were watching
DD Movie Club channel (later became DD Sports),
HOME TV,
Music ASIA.
Some where around 2001-2002, we moved the the cable connection after almost all channel turned digital and paid channels.
In 2012 -2013 we have bought the first set-top box of GTPL (After government compulsion)
In 2020 I have bought my first DTH connection Tata SKY HD, Still using it....
