Earlier available for Rs 2,999, the Tata Sky set-top-box will now be available for a price of Rs 1,499.
According to Tata Sky, they've crossed the 1.5 million connections mark, and to celebrate the occasion, the company has reduced the price of its hardware (set-top-box) by half.
Earlier available for Rs 2,999, the set-top-box will now be available for a price of Rs 1,499. When initially launched in August 2006, a customer had to shell out Rs 3,999 for the same set-top-box.
Tata Sky claims that the rapid subscriber ramp-up in a short span of 16 months has resulted in large cost savings for them, which they want to now pass share with customers.
Vikram Kaushik, managing director and chief executive officer of Tata Sky, expressed the view that it's the confidence shown by customers in their service that has helped them achieve 1.5 million connections within 16 months of launch. Hence, it's only fair they share the benefits with their customers.
The company objective now is to make the Tata Sky service available to all strata of society.
In addition to the price cut, Tata Sky has announced plans to launch its high-end personal video recorder (PVR) this year. The PVR device will help subscribers pause live television, record multiple programs, and enjoy video-on-demand. The device has already been launched by Tata Sky's parent company, News Corp, in the UK, Italy, and Australia.
Recently, Tata Sky added newly-launched channels to its existing bouquet; namely UTV Bindass, 9X, NDTV MetroNation, and NDTV Imagine, increasing the channel count to over 150 TV channels and services.

when i took a connection i had paid 4000+ but now they have slashed the rate for the packages. will they provide anything for the customers or refund the excess amount
The TATA SKY is simply fool the people. First they charge additional Rs 30 for the lefestyle gold pack. Now they are moving NDTV Imagine to this pack from 18th April. SO by giving this channel to all for 1-2 month is just simply fooling You. Also in there website , there is no option to change your package to lower package (i.i. you can not switch from 300 to 250 ).But option is there to switch to higher package. So this is bullshit. I highly advised not to opt for Tatasky. Wait for some more days as Reliance BIGTV is going to launched. That definetly will cheaper then TATA sky
If there is a reduction in price and giving customer share, what about the existing customers ??Will TataSky give something for the existing customers. As Apple(i-phone) did !!!..Any TataSky representative.is reading this..
Tata sky plays games with their customers. They sold their setup box and installation at 3200 Rs. to me. They keep increasing their monthly subscription by making their customers pay for more popular channels/services. Eg: You have to pay 30 rs. extra every month for 9X, Bindhasst, NDTV good times. Later on they asked 300 rs. for Active education. This will go on and we would end up paying more than what other services providers/cablewalas charge in the industry. The only satisfaction is DVD Quality output.
TATA SKY is the best thing that happen to our entertainment and reception quality. We are very happy to pay what we used to pay our Cable Operator earlier for A Class service... Some people are being fooled by this MPEG2 vs. MPEG4 thing, mind you even the advanced LCD and Plasma TVs are not Full HD and MPEG 4 is a waste in the process! The TV that reliance plans to offer for free has a resolution that doesnot fully support full HD either.
1080 progressive scan is full hd and theres many lcd come up with full hd .. true most lcds are 1080 interlaced hd comaptibel . But relaince will have a bettr pic quality for sure . For one thing Tata isnt botherd to even even upgrade their video out put to component or s video
Great news Vijay.Could you kindly point a link to the same? Price wars- great news for us.I hope the DTH providers get to quality wars as wel...HD transmission and all...yummy ...or am I hoping too much
I guess true HD (1080p) is not available even abroad. The best that is available is 720p or 1080i. Most of the programming in India is not HD so it does not matter even if Reliance is coming with HD. Also, knowing reliance, there would be a catch somewhere and the service would need time to stabilize. - Tata Sky customer
Guys planning to go in for TataSky - Please evaluate their latest offering. Their offer about few months back was better.
I've taken a TataSky connection in early Jan this year. Great quality, good infrastructure, picture-clarity, good service (well, so far!). No regrets.
Previous offer: TataSky STB+Installation+6 months of their top-package free @Rs.4000/-. Doing the math: 3000+1000 and 350x6=2100 free. Hence effective cost of STB=4000-Installation-freebies=900
New offer: STB:1500, Installation:1000 and 1 month of max package free. Doing the math again: Effective cost of STB = 1500-freebies= 1150.
Hence in effect, this new offer is actually a sugar-coated gimmick. Indeed, you might have to shell out less of initial investment (only Rs.2500/- in all) ! So, if you want to take a connection - take it. Dont just go because you think you "save" on this offer :-) (IMHO)
tata sky is worst as they have packages on regional basis .they have a starter pack of rs.200 which includes only south indian channels which is of no use for people leaving iutside south india and most importantly they have onle 138 channels includingtheir 22 interactive channels means it offers onle 116 channels in which 7 channels are a part of lifestyle gold pack avialable for rs.30 per month and 2 channels in sports gold pack available for rs.149 per annum,this means after deducting more 9 channels only 115 channels are available for rs.350 per which they call south jumbo pack. so they are fooling the customers altough they are adding latest channels but to get thos eu have to pay for thse channels.
TataSky is worst. They blackmail you by demanding additional money for channels which they have earlier promised as part of package. Channels are also less. A code scene is mostly interupting while seeing some programme. Their customercare before subscription is quite polite which become suddenly very rude & un helpful when u purchase it. My advise Please do not buy atleast Tata Sky .
Tata Sky is not at all good.. Their customer service sucks.. First they installed the antenna in the wrong direction, and hence the signal quality suffered. Then they ask for Rs 250 to re-install the antenna.
Also, their package is very minimal. They keep removing channels from their package (that you first subscribe for ), and then charge Rs 30-50 a month for those few channels.
Better go for Dish TV (lot more channels than Tata Sky) , or Hathway CAS (I saw it at a friends place, its just 1000 for the box and almost all channels. The box is free if you pay 1 yr subscription in advance)
