Reliance-ADA Group might become the latest DTH player in India

Anil Ambani’s Reliance-ADA Group has been given the permission to go ahead with their DTH (Direct to Home) plans by the Indian government.

News sources claim that a letter of intent (LoI) for the group’s foray into DTH was given on Monday. This letter was delivered to Blue Sky Magic, which is a part of the Reliance group.

Reliance Communications however declined to comment on this news story. The government has reportedly asked the company to complete formalities including the bank guarantee and license fee.

Reliance is expected to complete these formalities by next month. It would potentially take on the existing players in the DTH market, which includes Tata Sky, ZEE Dish TV, and DD’s own DTH Service.

They had originally applied for a DTH license around a year ago.

    Ref: ID : 200513903649 BIG TV

    Pls refer your complaint id no: 75614018 dtd 11/09/08 at 06:45 am, after making useless 16 calls to your customer care ,iam forced to write this mail to you. Onam, one of the biggest celebration in kerala,the best of the best television programmes, you deactivated on the same day and till date you are not taken any action to reactivate my transmission,I reminded your customer care several times and they given me reply that engineer comes to you at the earliest. Your unprofessional business deal restricted the good times of my children and my family.
    After taken your one year fee from me and why you deactivated my transmission? Why you are not rectifying my transmission? Why you disconnected Big Tv exact on the onam days? Now am very much excited to see when and how you are going to pay my losses made by your irresponsible attitude.

    Still can you say that ‘ BIG TV TOH AISA’

    Hello,

    To further bring this issue to your greater attention, the complaint number mentioned in the email below – 790032528 is closed without resolving the issue.

    Reason for closure – There was some software problem.

    Did the customer support guys call the customer to check if the issue is resolved before closing the complaint number – NO (A big NO)

    I called the customer support again, they created a new complaint (79296022) and are giving me a new SLA of 48 hrs.

    So I logged the 1st complaint on Wed (29th Oct), the issue is not resolved till now i.e Tuesday (4th Nov). so what is the idea behind giving a false SLA to the customer and fooling the customer.

    I have asked the customer support guys to take that Box …i mean BIGTV box and the antenna and return my money back… Unfortunately they are not ready to do that also for me.

    So I have lost my Rs 2000 by going for a BigTV connection which is of no use. Is this how Reliance and Mr Ambani is making money in India?

    Below are few of the comments on Bigtv for your reference. I hope you either close the customer support altogether or improve it to the extent that they have basic customer support skills and know how to respect the customers when they call and not disconnect the call. As of now they only know to give excuses and false promises.

    CC is the back bone of any business. If that fails Big TV has no place in the market.

    I am also one of the victims of this BigTv(but worst in service). I have been trying to call the customer care every day to get fixed my problem. But no one is turningup or no one has updated on the complaint status till the date. For the last 12 days, same story is repeating. Daily they say, it will get fixed by the end of the day. But no one is turningup.

    Hi.. We have been using Big TV for a few weeks and here is the basic reveiw

    1. Product is decent.
    2. There is delay in fixing your connection. Just check the net and you will here more such

    horror stories
    3. Customer service sucks BIG time ;-( Irrespective of when you call, you will have to be on hold for 10 – 15 mins… Really Bad .. just like any of Anil Ambani’s ventures.
    4. Nothing major to write home about. Would have been a great product but is a customer serice disaster… (remebber Rcom!!)

    All the best guys.. You’ve been warned. Dont forget to guy a handsfree for your phone alongwith BIG tv as you need to hold on for soooo long to connect to customer service. The wait for installation is something you will find is another regular complaint. We were lucky that it took only a few days.

    I’ve taken BIG TV on 18th of October; it was working fine with all the features. On 29 of October it automatically went off I made a request on the same day to resolve this issue…They have given the complaint on (790032528) and they have given 48 hr SLA to resolve this Issue, but till now they didn’t turn up to resolve this issue, every day I have to give wakeup call to listen there excuses, and I have to obey there immoral commitment. This is really ridiculous and no way acceptable, enough is enough…! please take out your connection and get my money back .

    Hello all,

    Extending the audience as I did not get any response till now.
    I’m forwarding this email further to the Mr Anil Ambani group…..
    here is the current status of my issue – I call the customer support after the SLA given for the new complaint according to them which indeed is my original complaint and only 1 complaint i reported till now after taking the BigTV new connection(790032528 and 79296022), now the customer support still says that the issue is in problem solving state and as usual does not know when the issue will be resolved nor can he get his manager on the call for my concern but still expects me to wait and watch the show……………

    Not sure of what to do next after calling the customer support almost 33 times for a single complaint……I’m thinking to give the dummy box (i mean BIG tv)and the antenna to Mr Anil Ambani as a donation so that he can make 1 more BIG TV customer and become the world’s 2nd richest man.

    Hats off to Reliance……..and ALL the best to Ambani group to make some easy money from a middle class indian family and giving BIG promises like BIG TV…….
