Good News Updated To Tata Sky HD STB

[Neel]

From Yesterday,My SD set Top Box was not responding.When I switched the STB on then It just freezed.Even it didn't respond to remote.I just called our Local Installer to check the matter.He came in today morning and Checked the box thoroughly.He just announced that The box needs to be replaced.He told that an HD box is available with him.So,we agreed to replace as he also mentioned that an SD box will cost more and Also will take time.During this lockdown,we need to watch news everyday.So,he replaced the box.

Advantages of the box:-
i) Sound Quality Increased.
ii)Able to view HD channels.
iii)3 years Waranty
Disadvantages:-
i)New UI is Worst for me.
ii)Not able to view Mute or Volume UI.(Screenshot Provided)
iii)HD and SD PQ same(I thought it would be better).
iv)Costs Rs 1100/-
Screenshot is as follows:-

Congratulations for the set top box upgrade, Neel!

ii)Not able to view Mute or Volume UI.(Screenshot Provided)

It might be due to Tata Sky adding red bug recharge ticker. It will be solved once coronavirus pandemic is over. They are so showing it so people will learn easy online recharge is possible.

iii)HD and SD PQ same(I thought it would be better).

Noticeable difference is possible only if you view HD channels on a HD TV. Otherwise CRT TV provides crystal clear picture quality on SD channels so you will feel both are same only. I am saying this from my personal experience.

Congrats on the upgrade!

Its odd that you felt HD UI is worst and the second disadvantage which you mentioned about mute of volume UI seems to related to Red button bug, the volume bar takes times to appear if their are interactive services or any scroll running on that channel.

Thanks @Bapun Raz sir.
I know about the red bug recharge ticker.
It is available on Ch100 welcome and Abp ananda and many more.
But still this problem is on all channels.
Shall I try changing resolution from 1080 to 720@65Hz??

Your volume is not showing because that part of screen is out of frame (can be seen in this photo), it can be fixed by adjusting settings. This is not related to Red button bug.

SD and HD will appear same in CRT TV sets. You will find no difference unless u watch it on full hd tv sets.

U need to change the options in user setting to SD if it's set to HD
