Tata Sky will keep doing this timepass while Videocon d2h will keep adding new channels without making noise, that is the difference between the two.
Airtel, Videocon and Dish TV all have said in press statements to give maximum SD and HD channels but tata sky has never given such a statement which clearly means that channel addition is not their priority. They move at snail's pace when it comes to adding new channels. Earlier there was bandwidth shortage excuse, now they have bandwidth but still they r not adding channels. All they say is thay we have many channels in last few months, i mean really? Tata Sky does not know that these channels which they added now and many channels they still don't have, all of them are present on other 3 big DTH platforms since a long time. So if a channel launches in othet platforms in 2015 , we should be happy to get it on tata sky in 2016 or 2017 but yes if it is a premium channel then it may get added first also.
I have no hopes, just excuses and no action.
If some people find this as fodder to jump in excitement like they do in other forums then well i am happy that they r finding reason to smile at such things. In another forum they r still busy telling others to not get jealous of tata sky, ye to hadd ho gayi. What is there to get jealous of?
