It might take a while before we get HD channels in India. Till then Tata plus has done an excellent job of adding pvr, the quality offered being excellent as well.

Well, what they have to offer is relatively new to the mass and their advertisements have put across all its features very well. Fights over Tv, phone calls during imp scenes is something that evryone faces almost everyday. Evrthing is well done right from the promotion to the service offered to their customers.

tatasky plus is finally out and doing good. it has managed to satisfy the audience in terms of its tech quallity. people are willing to shell out a little extra in return of good quality and advanced technology. Overall its a very good product and definitely worth it.

@Abhijit -

TataSky+ is pretty much similar to Tivo with one big difference. There are no HD channels in India yet. Apart from that, most basic features are similar. Also, I think the new Tivo provides movie rentals via HD video streaming off the internet. Such features aren’t available in India.

The reason why DishTV might have pulled it back is because this type of service has a very small niche market. Also, owing to the high entry cost, many people might not have been interested. DishTV is anyways loosing most of its customers to the biggies. They probably didn’t have the money to hire Aamir Khan to advertise the device.

Regarding the hacks, I am sure once this becomes popular, there will be lots of shops in Palika offering hard disk upgrade services .

How does this compare with the Tivo that is popular in the western countries? I believe DishTV too had launched a similar device and then later pulled it out. Any idea what happened? Tivo has been hacked to add disk space – anyone tried this with the sky+ box?
