Discussion Digital Cable TV Vs DTH

[Anish Pai]

To experience the best of Digital Cable the following things must be there:
A good MSO
Good LCO
fast service
fast channel addition

Then it will be great.

 

[Sanjeev]

Still in many parts of Mumbai city only full digitisation has not happened all because of this goonda gardi of LCO

 

[Technoglitch]

There is no professionalism in digital cable and that's the only main drawback.

 

[Anish Pai]

Is that true, Mumbai falls in phase 1 and last date for digitization was 2012. Do u mean to say outside the city of Mumbai Sanjeev

 

[Anish Pai]

Wait for Reliance Jio to enter cable tv, then you see how small chintu regional MSO start their real services, fearing their existance

Yes in some parts of Thane district and even in Mumbai suburbs too digitisation has not happened which was supposed to happen

 

[Deepu]

Also, you don't have options for choosing different MSO's as LCO's would have divided the localities b/w them and you can only go with LCO who is incharge of your locality

 

[Anish Pai]

The future of MSO is India is if they want to continue service in their area, then they will have to provide good services or else some national MSO will take over them.

 

[Anish Pai]

Thane falls under phase 3 must be. And still this whole year is there. So slowly they will stop analoge. But entire Phase 1 and 2 are done

 

[Deepu]

LCO's are charging 1800 Rs for normal SD STB. With 1800 Rs, you can get DTH HD connection
