Insanity Rediscovered

I never liked the idea but had to go for it coz I preferred the package compared to the one offered by Tata Sky.

I have never liked Zee… this includes the company and their channels. But overall the thing has worked for me…

There are some major disappointments as I am going to discuss now.

The wiring done by the Dish TV dudes suck. They did it like the regular cable guys do it. No streamlined wiring as it is done by Airtel dudes. As a result, I have this long wire running from one corner of the room to the another.

The dudes were totally unprofessional and actually took away the spare connection cable that came in the STB. I am totally going to curse and yell at Dish TV dudes for this only.

The connection on the STB was poorly done and it got detached as I tried to place the STB at a convenient location.

Activation of the service took around 30 hours. This is perhaps the most disappointing aspect of getting Dish TV over Tata Sky.

The user interface of the service sucks as compared to Tata Sky. I had expected this considering Zee’s own channel sucks when it comes to graphics and overall design layouts.

Some channels are just too smudgy. Looks more like a badly encoded movie downloaded from the net which is being run at a bigger size.

Good things? Nothing that Tata Sky would not have done for me.

My real old television set can now display more than 30 channels.

I can now watch Formula-1.

I can now curse the Cable Guy without worrying that he would disconnect the connection at my place.

I can watch cable even when there is no electricity at my place.
