Last Thursday, we exclusively brought to you the new initiative of India’s leading Direct to Home (DTH) operator Tata Sky which under its ‘Tata Sky Only Box offer’ offered a new HD Zapper connection to its customer without a dish antenna. Tata Sky has now today revised the price of its ‘Only Box offer’ making it a much more exciting prospect for its customers.
From today, Tata Sky has reduced the price of its Only Box offer to Rs 1100 from the earlier price of Rs 1450. The charges for availing a Tata Sky Antenna and LNB in case of the existing customer premise ODU is found to be faulty has also been reduced from Rs 450 to Rs 399.
| Earlier | Now | |
| HD Zapper Connection with Dish | Rs 1450 | Rs 1100 |
| ODU (Dish plus LNB) in case existing customer ODU is faulty | Rs 450 | Rs 399 |
Earlier, those availing the Only Box offer would have only availed a discount of Rs 49 making it a not so much attractive option. With a discount of Rs 399, customers having existing LNB and Dish will surely look to avail the Only Box offer. Incase their existing ODU unit is faulty, then they would have to pay the price which Tata Sky charges for a new HD connection with a dish antenna.
Tata Sky representative Mansi said, “Effective from 19th March (00:00 hours) customers will be able to avail Tata Sky HD Zapper connections with ODU at Rs 1100 only. Also, the charges for availing a Tata Sky Antenna and LNB (in case of the existing customer premise ODU is found to be faulty) will also be reduced from Rs 450 to Rs 399.”
As reported earlier, under the offer Dish and LNB will not be found with the connection. Customers will be given an HD Zapper Box, adapter, remote and 10-meter cable in the new connection. The offer is only available on 1-month packs and not on long-duration packs of 6 or 12 months. The Only Box offer is currently only available on new HD connections.
The new offer is in line with the DTH provider’s policy to provide the best proposition to all its customers. The booking for new connections under the new offer can only be done through dealers. The cost of the monthly pack will be on top of the new connection price.
The peaking on new installations will be done as per the Tata Sky norms. Wherever the customer has missing parts or his kit can’t be used, the kit will be replaced by the Tata Sky kit in the same work order at an extra cost of Rs 399. If the customer is not ready then the installation will be cancelled.
The warranty will only be for the HD Zapper box and remote. There will be a 3-year warranty for box adapter. Only Box offer will lead to a reduction in wastage of dish antenna. Until now, customers through a makeshift were trying to install a new connection without dish antenna with the help of dealers. The new offer will be beneficial for those not needing a new dish antenna and LNB with the connection.
