Tata Sky DTH service coming this June

People suffering at the hands of their local cable guys (or shall we say goons) have some good news in store for them. The joint venture between Tata and Star, Tata Sky is due to be launched sometime by June this year. This would provide consumers with an alternative to terrestrial transmission and Dish TV’s DTH package.

Zeeâ€™s Dish TV has been a disappointment for a lot of users with even the franchisee complaining about the lack of support they get from the company. Tata and Star should be able to do a better task with their services.

Tata Sky has tied up with Thomson for the set-top boxes and NDS Systems for the smart card technology. Vikram Kaushik, CEO, Tata Sky said about their upcoming services: “Our DTH service will completely redefine the television viewing experience in India. We are committed to building a state-of-the-art DTH operation. NDS Systems will enable us to transfer control and choice into the hands of subscribers.â€

Koen van Driel, senior vice-president, satellite, terrestrial and cable business unit, Thomson added about their involvement in this launch: “As the largest and most exciting new DTH TV project in the world, we are very proud to have been selected as a key supplier by Tata Sky.â€

yes,I agree that Dish TV has no content to offer except HBO and their officials at Noida ar behaving like Hitler or just as they are selling smack or opium which does not require any support service.I wish Tata-sky should flll the gap.Please enlighten how they are going to convert conax into NDS technology and in case it is a cheap conversion and the subscriber has not to spend more,then I assure thatDish Tv wont be abletoretain even a single subscriber,Interalia TATa -SKY can announce a replacement
scheme for these trash Kaon and Zenega boxes

Dish INDIA owned by zee has the worst line up of international channels like boomarang tv and stc these channels with the local cable operator in chennai through STB for free however dish calls them exclusive pay channels even VH1 is free but pay on dish when comparing dish with DD DTH its better to go for the Latter because its free and offers the same regional entertainment

As for as my knowledge of events goes, the package of these channels is included in the DHCPMaxie package., However,for others they will be charging appx.900/- per year extra for these channels. But I am not sure,it is an inside information.

Ananad,T-Sky is the logo name of another DTH service in India besides DishTV and a joint venture between Tata Group and Robert Murdoch controlled Sky TV having 80-20 equity and likely to launch the service within a month or so,if allgoes well.Package cost will be between 150-/to 250/- per month depending upon the bouqet you choose.However you can expect,as I am expecting,various sales promotion scheme under which it will be cheap as compared to cable TV or Dish TV(sick) and besides high quality of viewing.

I was glad to read that Tata is launching DTH service by June 06. I am sure it will provide much improved service which will include almost all known Indian channels and footprint will cover India & Gulf region. Pls introduce prepaid Access card to be compatible with all statdard satellite receivers since you are talking about replacing brands Zenega and Koan products. Looking forward for you to meet the goal. WISH YOU ALL SUCCESS.

saw the channel list on the dish tv website... mostly not worth the moolah...
will we have to get a different stb for tata sky? isn't it legally mandatory to have the stbs interoperable?
tata sky's website isn't even up yet... are you sure they are launching in a month...
is there a number we can call and get information? i tried the closest tata indicom outlet thinking they being the sister concern will be able to dig out some info... no use...
tata's broadband is very costly... hope the dth is not so...
