I think all of you are right in some way. This is a known fact that content-wise tata sky is way behind (even if many other DTHs are behind in content, that does not make Tata Sky ahead). Several crucial SD and HD channels are missing. At the time when UHD is getting launched, remaining 40% behind in HD count is a big matter.
Now this is also a fact that on other factors than channel count, tata sky is way ahead. I guess all the members are saying and agreeing to this. Only thing is that the union of your individual opinions show complete picture of Tata Sky.
You have to also consider the factor that some of us have been associated with Tata Sky since 2006. And since 2010 they have been crying on space issue. Now either you don't cry or you resolve it. Depending on the period of wait, the level of frustration for different users can be different. We must respect that. 2010 to 2015 is a long time. Manhoman Singh becomes elected to a rejected PM in such span of time.
I left tata sky because of content and came back after trying other DTHs (dishtv, d2h, airtel). Left because of content shortage (example, Zee Cinema HD becomes available after 2years of launch, certainly I am not that patient person) and came back because none have such a quality product (although with limited content). Now my final solution is Tata Sky full Mega HD pack with 2 years subscription (because I know even in 2 years no one can beat tata sky in terms of quality of product. Unfortunately content is too low) and D2H with missing channels in form of a-la-carte. That overall works fine for me.
Final conclusion is - expectation is surely that if I have a mobile network subscription it must allow me to enable 2G, 3G, voice calling, SMS etc in all states of India. Meaning Tata SKy is a platform, then it must have all major channels at least which it does not. But we are yet to see a matured DTH industry in India (perhaps DTH portability can put some pressure) where DTH stops crying at least after 5 long years.
