Obviously because they must have imported limited number of boxes only. May be when demand arises, they would order and import more.
Videocon 4K UHD Videocon d2h 4K UHD Set-Top Box Pre-booking started
- Thread starter IndianMascot
- Start date
yes it's Limited Edition only..!!!
From my Old experience of being early user of "QUALITY D2h HD DVR-4611 Ultec UEC"(may be 1000 as such) which were imported from South Africa by Videocon, at the time of launching HD services, it's good if you go for initial Pieces.!!!
As we know history these Pretty4611DVR never come in marker later..wheras as the below average HD 500GB-100GB DVRs- n STB were seen in market till date..!!!!

Well just chill dear brothers, according to me 4K will take at least 3 to 4 years to even start growing. There r many issues from bandwidth constraint at DTH end and broadcaster end, high cost of running a UHD channel with less returns for the broadcasters as already even running a HD channel is a tough case bcoz people want price to be low, ads to be less and ultimately DTH ops and broadcasters have found a common way to come out of tis mess and they have bundled their SD and HD channels so that they get revenue from both end from HD customers which helps them offer HD at low cost plus in a market where still few people have opted for HD and HD is in nascent stage with few HD channels , i think UHD is far stretched step.
To be honest UHD is only for a little chunk of even the Premium Customers, u need 4K TV above at least 55 inches to even notice little difference between Full HD and 4K. So all in all i think no one would really take that much interest in UHD but yeah as people are not technically well aware so some may take 4K STB just for trying new technology but most of them will be unable to afford UHD Content and will ultimately just see HD and SD content on it till the market grows.
Right now even broadcasters r focused more on HD, UHD in my opinion will just account for 1 percent of sales

Let's see whether UHD takes off or breaks off like 3D.

Bro, even the current 4K STB's have been made by Videocon, they have assembled the parts and chips which were imported at their plant

3D will never take off, its waste. Too much strain in viewing

I think it will break off as the number of customers opting for it will be less but if at all the prices of 4k tv then some may think of buying it

You know lots of confidential stuff about d2h man. Was that the reason you were so sure about 1000 advance booking ?
It's more rely on Demand and Supply(DTH Invest)Theory
The more you make available the people it will be accepted however at economical prices..!!!!
Even if new satellite launches happen or TP capacities are increased by most DTHs in next Quarter(definitely shud be in process)ahead of 4K service launching., THEN we can see the noticeable change in marker..!!!
HD growth rate was decreased for last 3 years considering TS,Airtel and SD were facing Bandwidth-TP shortage and no chances of any proceedings/miracle to them was there to next couple of years..!!!
So as d2h decreased their rate of HD services the way they started it..
This has really made impact on broadcasters to push limited EDitions of HD and that too at high Price what they jumped in suddenly..!!!
So Only one solution is there ...The more Competitions heatan up among these 4K DTHs on capacity, will see drop in 4K TV makers Price as well
You need to understand 4K is need of time..!!!!!
