Random thoughts 2

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!!!

    you are absolutely right there is lot more convinience in our lives after the aariavls of these services, my mother was tired up of bad reception, half of the times there was no light and lot other problems, sometimes the gang of cablewallas will not allow to switch over to other cable but now there is a boom in sattelite telivision first I got installed Dish tv at my home in chandigarh and the quality was superb and even the reception, I am staying in delhi and that too in south delhi where government had their own plans so they had mandatory installation of thir own set top boxes but through cablewallas only, i tried that but soon got very disturbed as every now an then it had problems and finally I installed Tata sky at my Delhi home and now I am enjoying the real picture quality, this sector is getting very competitive and with the arrial of Big Tv it is set to go new heights as we all know reliance has an tendancy to occupy the market with their powerful marketing strategies. Till now Tata sky never had an brand ambassador but the compitition is so tough that they have come up with Aamir khan who we all know is a great “friend” of Sharukh. so the war will continue and the customer will benifit out of it as he or she will have various options and easy payment facilities. But they all have a drawback too as its direct to sattelite bad weather conditions intrupt them a lot lets see how these people can sort this out.
