17 Selecting a d2h connection
Nowadays, most of us have got a
d2h (direct-to-home) connection. There
mays till be a lot of people who think they cannot afford a d2h and are still
on the cable connection that their local cable guy provides. This blog will throw some light on how to
compare different offerings and finally select one based on your requirements.
Among the popular d2h connections
are Dish TV, Sun Direct, Videocon, Airtel, Tata Sky and Reliance Digital. Each one claims to be different than the
others and claims to offer the maximum number of channels in their bouquet of
offerings.
With over 600+ channels that
these service providers are offering, it gets a bit tedious to decide on which
provider to select. The first thing to
do is to browse through the different channels and decide on which are the ones
you will be seeing on a regular basis.
No use going for a product offering 400+ channels while you watch only
10 of them on a regular basis. Once you
arrive at your list of channels-to-have, scout through each service provider’s
website to see which package provides you with the channels that you are
interested in.
It may happen that not even one
of them have a basic package for your listJJ!! Don’t worry, look for a superior package to
your basic package and confirm if your needs are being met. Do this process for each service provider and
compare the rates. Some service
providers also offer you additional months viewing, if you pay for a year or
more. Don’t forget to compare the final
price using this option also.
Each provider has different
subscription offers based on which geographical location you are residing
in. So, in South, it will be better to
go for the package which has more number of South Indian channels.
If you have 2-3 TV’s in your home
and want the same connection in all of them, these players also offer a
discounted rate on the 2nd and 3rd connections. Add this
also to your calculation and then decide on which one to finalise on.
Each service provider also
provide a-la-carte channels, i.e. if you want to subscribe just one additional
channel, you pay the monthly charge and watch.
Some players like Videocon, offer
existing customers, to view some channels on a payment of Rs 1 for a
month.
Some players like Airtel offer
different pricing if you renew the channels through their app or their
website. Sometimes you get the channels
for free too!!
Check thoroughly and then decide
on your d2h connection. After all, it is
your money!! Happy viewing!! Cheers!!
