We were using inCable for the past two years without any complaint but for the last couple of months it was really painful to watch TV in the real sense. The reception was poor and the voice cracked so much that the audio was hardly audible. It reached to its extreme slowly bit by bit so for so many days we were just hoping that it would improve on its own. The birth of my daughter made TV watching a rare event so nobody bothered to focus on getting it repaired. But as the things started settling and i began to watch TV more frequently though randomly, the desire to watch flawless reception on the television returned, the main motivation being IPL matches! I called up the incable helpdesk and they tried solving my problem but it didn’t work!!! So we started searching for an alternate cable network. My hubby works in a tata group company and Tatasky was the obvious choice. Way back when we shifted to Mumbai and wanted a cable connection, we had inquired about Tatasky but at that time there were some technical shortfalls due to which it could not be installed. It has been over ten days now and i am very pleased at the reception and quality of service offered by Tatasky. First and foremost, everything is online, you can have your own account on the tatasky website www.tatasky.com through which you can manage the transactions. This makes life so much easier for tech savvy people like us. I dread paying bills to a stinking cablewallah who might press your doorbell at any point of time. Secondly, the installation was hassle free. The digi-com as they call it arrived through courier and two people came to install it one day after. Installation took 15-20 mins and the guy explained the operational aspect to me as i was not very keen on reading the user manual on my own due to paucity of time. There is a 24 hour help channel in which a young kid and her aunt explain in detail how tatasky works. I liked the way the channels are organized and divided into various categories. Another interesting feature is showcase. Through showcase, you can order movies online for an additional cost of Rs. 75 each. There are 3-4 movies which are showcased and you have the option to choose one of them. The movie you choose will be available to you till midnight and will be telecast on different channels at pre-defined intervals, making it easier to catch up in case you missed a portion. With every new connection, you get a showcase free, and i took the pleasure of watching my free showcase yesterday, the movie being Dhram about which i plan to talk in my next post. Keep reading!!!

I have to let my thoughts out! This time it is nothing specific but my daily experiences. So a word of caution! Think twice before you proceed. It is for my own satisfaction that I blog, now it is far more evident than ever. So people, I have been at home for quite a while now and seem to have become a couch potato. Apart from watching cricket matches which I love, there are host of other programmes which I watch sometimes quite intently and sometimes only because I don’t feel like doing anything else. So the saas bahu serial becomes my last resort. Another factor in increased viewing of these sometimes serials is the continual stay of relatives at home. So sometimes though not always I have to obediently watch a ‘Mayeka’ or ‘Parivaar’ or ‘Saat Phere’ on Zee just to give them a company and sometimes a ‘Virrudh’ which I like for some strong performances though somewhat wasted ones. Then the channels are replete with reality shows like Indian Idol, Sa Re Ga Ma which become a little interesting when judjes are fighting just for the sake of increasing the TRP’s. I do watch them. But i will talk about them in my next post.
