One of my relative is looking for purchasing new DTH Connection they already having suspended Tata Play connection.
Their requirements are only devotional channel with bunch of kids channels. So, I suggested them FTA Box.
I gone through each thread related to FTA Box offered by various DTH service provider but I am now bit confused which should I buy.
Like if I go with DishTV, it will be great but they are asking for NCF for each channel.
Airtel is offering good option with no extra NCF like DishTV but only issue is they are not stable with the pack pricing they keep changing and mostly increasing.
SunDirect, offer is decent which is not causing any difference to their monthly NCF but, it's good and SunDirect is trustworthy in future. Unlike, Airtel which is famous for increasing pack prices and DishTV which is charging NCF on channel basis.
DDFreeDish, is out of race because of obvious reason of not carrying paid channel.
 
As you are from North India, Sun Direct 2 year box pack option is not that good. They are not providing many Hindi FTA channels.

Airtel: Airtel is a very good option. But it's availablity is very limited and also after 3 years you might have to take regular packs, as they not have any special pack for FTA users. Buying from online is a very bad choice as you will not get full 3 year validity.

Zing: Zing is also a good option. This will fulfill your devotional channel requirements and also many FTA channels available including DD Free Dish Channels. NCF is a big issue but if you want to take 19 rupees channels like Star Plus etc then you can get it around 200 ruppees for 1 year. The big plus point is they have packs after 4 years (1111 for next 4 years). Currently not have any good kids pack with low NCF. You have to Pay 5 ruppees NCF on Each channel.

Recommendation: Airtel, if available. Zing, if Airtel not available.
 
Currently not have any good kids pack with low NCF.
Is there anything call Zing pack available? If yes please share it's link.

Why you suggested Airtel when Zing box Monthly charge will cost just 23 and ADTV will cost 45?

Yes, Zing pack available for long time deactive users of DishTV for around 1800 for 4 Years.

Yes, Zing box is very good but you said I want Kids pay channels for regular basis then suggested Airtel. Zing will charge 5 Ruppees NCF. But will give freedom to remove at any time unlike Airtel.

So paying 1800 will make any deactivated DishTV box a Zing box? And, in future will keep getting Zing offers? If it's true it's wow!
Also, Not able to find Zing pack please share it's link.

Just seen YouTube video which was showing Zing all kids pack will cost 116 rupees. 116+23(monthly NCF) 139

Sun all Kids including south cost 60+ GST compared to Airtel all kids only hindi will cost 53.
Sun FTA 70+45(monthly NCF) 115
Airtel FTA 53+43(monthly NCF) 96

So, only difference is of few rupees monthly and Zing is offering more watchable channels but, Airtel has more spritual channel.
Whereas, I'm wondering to select limited channel in kids categories.

You can grab Sun HD box with 2 year NCF activated @999 or even lower. Just check if your favorite channels are available or not .

Sun Direct 2 year NCF is good but for South. In North even DD Free Dish providing more quality channels then their NCF pack. And also official price is 1099 + Activation charge.

From where?
If You want Sun Direct, then go for regular connection not 2 year NCF pack.
 
I'm wondering to go with Zing but where should I buy it?
There is DishTV India office 2.5km from my place should I visit there?
