Ohh is that so.
I have the HD connection which I am using for first two months basically for free. I was also told that all HD channels will be free for these two months.
May be you won't be charged anything as per the rule. I just spoke to CC, they say I will have to pay!!

I think I may have to go for a DTH HD soon as the cable operator says within next few months we need to have a digital set top box in hyderabad will cost me something around Rs.6000/-.
So which is the best time where DTH people announce their offers
Who is best in quality and less pricing monthly package and also while buying

ideally it should be the same for use with all operators.
in practice though, all set top boxes are locked to their respective cable operators/DTH operators.
the set topbox in principle is the same machine.
just that cable operators provide a wired connection to the set top box whereas the DTH provides it wirelessly.

I mean to ask you that
If that rule of digital channels in mumbai and delhi means a digital set topbox and a DTH provider box or only one ??![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")

The only difference was analog cable was available though cable operators which did not give the government the actual number of subscribers using cable tv.
This resulting in loss of service tax to the govt.
Dth providers provide that by default.
Hence the stress to digitise cable tv.
Hey thanks for the 'service tax' info Superbad. So, in summary
Set top box- from DTH service providers like tata sky, airtel etc., wirelessly
Set Top box- from local gable guy, wired
How do cable guys provide HD channels? I don't think they do it yet.

in mumbai atleast all cable operators provide HD channels.
prices are not much different form DTH operators.
they are yet to provide packages currently they provide all channels @450 pm with HD. 300pm without HD
and their set top box(HD) @ around 3000, non HD around 1.5k. (prices are of a local cable operator which may vary from area to area)

Its a really bad move from Airtel![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")
, i think we will no longer be able to see the Star Cricket HD and ESPN HD.
Today i got a message from Airtel that they are replacing these 2 channels above with![[gun]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Guns.gif "Guns [gun]")
Z Studio HD & Sony Six HD.
Currently relishing the highlights of Spain's F1 race highlights for the last time on ESPN HD.
And there is no chance to get them i guess, any idea on why this move,haven't they got the satellite rights or access.

@Superbad- thanks for the info at post no. 73, somehow missed it earlier.
Got similar sms. The Setmax channel will show IPL, so the sports doze would be fed by setmax now.
No idea about the technicalities though.I guess these HD channels are taken by service providers on some lease sort or contract basis, otherwise I don't think there are issues of coverage/signals etc.
