This is quite off topic but may be of interest to quite a few of us. The cable subscription rates have gone as high as Rs 422 in some areas in Pune. Just wonder if anyone has tried / knows about DTH options available.
Did some googling and got only this much info: Zee, Star and DD are having this service. Couldn't get much information about rates, how to contact retailers etc. Set top boxes seem to have a wide price range from @3000 all the way up to 10000. Some articles claim that in future DTH could be used for two way communication as well (i.e. on demand TV, internet/broadband etc.) Also came across conflicting information about whether TRAI has mandated that the set top boxes to be used for DTH will be compatible across various providers. (Guess, it has to be like that.) Any information/pointers would be of great help. TIA.
