My d2h SD STB was having several problems lately and I finally decided to shift to Tata Sky. Booked HD Connection + Malayalam Basic HD pack and the installation was done within 48 hours.
Set Top Box:
I got the Technicolor HD STB. STB is very smaller than I expected - just half the size of my old d2h STB! Boot up time is almost same as my old one.
Remote:
Remote is very lightweight and quiet easy to use. Excellent range as well.
Signal levels:
What I liked:
• Excellent audio quality (Both SD and HD).
• Wide range of channels.
• 3 year warranty.
• Faster channel switching - found only 1 second delay.
What I didn't:
• SD channel picture quality - I feel like it was better in d2h.
• Favourites implementation - Favorites LCN starts at 900 where as in d2h it goes like 1,2,3 etc. Also it was very easy to rearrange the favourites in d2h. I miss that feature here.
• "You're not subscribed to this channel" voice narration - I found listening to this quiet irritating
. In d2h there was no voice narration for the same.
• UI is bit slow here and there (Can't complain for the price though!
).
