I am switching to Tata Sky after having a really poor experience with ADTV and was wondering whether anyone can help me out in deciding the right package. I am going to go all in as far as the channels are concerned i.e. all SD and HD channels.

I would prefer going long term (annual) either immediately or after a month depending on which one turns out to be cheaper and have a few queries pertaining to this:

1. The CREDIT CARD/DEBIT CARD/NET BANKING OFFER 01 (₹1800) mentions:
+ 1 month Ultra free pack
+1 month HD access fee
Does this mean I am getting all the channels along with HD or does the Ultra free pack limit the number of channels compared to 'Ultra HD'?
Also, after the first month, do I have to go with Annual Ultra HD Pack + Annual HD Access for all the channels?

2. Compared to the above does CREDIT CARD/DEBIT CARD/NET BANKING OFFER 02 (₹9070) provide any benefit? It mentions:
+ Annual Ultra Plus HD pack
+ 1 month HD access fee
I assume here then I will have to purchase the HD Access pack after the first month. But then I will have 13 months of HD access but 12 months of Ultra HD, so how will I balance the two? Do I have to buy the standard Ultra Base package + an add-on package?

Back of the envelope calculations indicate that the pricing for the two would be similar assuming both the options provide all the channels (SD + HD) for 13 months, so I could do with some advice on how to proceed. Also, will the installation (in Mumbai) be done tomorrow if I make the payment today or does the "5-7 working days" message on their site mean something?

I will suggest you to see amazon offers there you will get annual package deals.

Thanks for the tip off. I can see only one relevant annual offer on Amazon with the Mega HD pack which I presume no longer exists. Will purchasing the same ensure that I get all the channels?

Tata Sky HD Connection With Mega HD Pack:Amazon:Electronics

As for Airtel, the lower price comes with its own baggage of lesser HD channels and absolutely horrendous customer representatives.

That I have, but was hoping to get the connection as soon as possible since I am presently without one after having Airtel unexpectedly pull the plug before expiration.

The seller actually replied within 5 minutes. Says that it will be Ultra with 1 year HD access, so I guess I can go ahead with it. Thanks once again.
