Good News Installed New Tata Sky HD Connection

[DominicT]

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! ).

No, it's a regular 60cm dish - same size as my old d2h antenna.
I paid ₹1619 in total (Connection + Pack + Installation).

There is a ~1 second delay + image looks frozen for a moment. I think that is the time required for fetching the content from satellite.

I had a C band dish long time back and it had no delay though!

Congratulations Bhai !,This box might b having some internal storage content facility hence that 1 sec delay is time taken to get feed processed over it so that buffer can b created for rewind or live tv pause, unfortunately tata sky will likely never activate this feature
