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?
