Its entirety up to you which dth you want to use, as every person has its own preferencess, but being a forum member and having had the experience of all dth except sun direct, I will suggest you to go for airtel hd or hd dvr.
Every dth service has its own prose and cons. Non is idealy perfect. If one has good pq the other's bad. If one has good cc the other's bad. If one has more channel the other's less. But I have always opted for quality than quantity.
I know every one wants to have more and more of the hd channels but you can't take out, the quality of, sd channels of the equation as Only a few channels are available in hd as of now.
The quality of hd channels is almost the same in every dth (not in d2h), only an expert can differentiat it, but its the sd channels quality that matters the most.
Airtel has a good quality and quantity of popular hd and sd channels. (ess hd will be back for sure in coming days)
Following is my view as i see it in terms of sd channels quality.
1)RDTV (but very less hd ch)
2)ADTV (my pick, best with ess hd)
3)TS (less hd ch and near future?)
4)d2h(poor hardware & hd pq but economica)
5)dish tv(good hardware most ch)
Now its up to you buddy. Thats what only I think.
Wish you best of luck.
