Good News Sun Direct FTA Box

[redlofredlof]

Here is a cost breakdown of how much you end up paying with all 3 ncf models from Zing, Sun and Airtel.
Zing 1626 ÷ 48 = 34 NCF per month + (channel cost+gst +ncf + gst on ncf)
Sun 1099 ÷ 24 = 45 NCF per month + (channel cost + gst)
Airtel 1600 ÷ 36= 45 NCF per month + (channel cost + gst)

If you want channels that cost 100+18%gst
Zing 11 hd channels = 100(cost) + 60(ncf) + 28(gst of channel and ncf) +34(monthly prepaid ncf)=222
Sun and Airtel= 100(cost)+18(gst of channel)+45(monthly pre paid ncf)=163

So, as per this calculation Sun and Airtel are more VFM.

In fact default NCF on Sun is 50 which is just 5 rupees more expensive than its FTA version.

I see no reason for anyone to buy Zing anymore.
ZING PCM audio quality is bad and the branding is very large and opaque.
Airtel PCM audio quality is slightly better but HD quality and STB quality is great. Branding logo is red but translucent.
Sun quality is not known to me. Branding is translucent and almost invisible.

I hope your wish comes true. But knowing TP, their capitalist nature is not made for compromise with revenue.

What scam bro? Who is adding 11 Pay HD channels in FTA Set top box? They not launched this to add so many Pay Channels. And see they are providing FTA and Some Pay channels at lower price from both Airtel And Sun. And I don't think any company giving Pay channels for free even for FTA users other then DishTV.
Airtel and Sun has no plans after ending of their given period but Zing has. 1111 for next 4 years
Picture Quality of DishTV is superior among all DTH, They are not compressing channels like TP and Airtel. Audio quality is not that bad if you viewing with TV Speakers. And not checked with external speakers.
They are around 10 ruppees per month less then other DTH. Means you can add 1 (19 Rupees) channel and 2 (10 ruppees) channels at no NCF + 1 Day lockin on Pay channels period.
If anyone want no Pay channels or to add 1-2 channels on daily basis or 4-5 channels at non regular basis, than any DTH not even close to them.
And Sun not providing Pay channels (Zee anmol, Sony Pal etc) in FTA Pack. So it's useless for North users.
