Hell of a decision from d2h...Jis chees se main bhhag raha tha wahi chees bhagte bhagte mere peeche aa gayi..I am not a hater of TS & supporter of d2h & vice-verse...
In 2011 when i decided to opt for dth & did market survey i zeroed on d2h & airtel & my dad on Tata sky. Some how I convinced him to opt for d2h & main reason for it is HD Access Fee. At that time it was 100 if i am not wrong..
But my actual perception about HDAF was wrong at that time..Let me explain..I thought if i opt for south special in TS (May be diff. pack at diff. price at that time) i have to pay 180 Rs/month & i get available HD channels for that pack in 180 only & 100 is a rent for that & i thought why i should pay 100Rs. extra (May be i haven't read footnotes )...What kind of meherbaani they are doing by providing HD channels...
But now when i studied it when d2h applied it i realized it is not like that i have to pay 180+125 = 305pm to get HD's. But you are restricted to few HD channels only as per your base pack..
So why it is called as HD Access Fee as it is an extension or add on to the base pack...One should get the real meaning of HDAF (specially TS user) If you opt for single HD channel in TS say SSHD1 you have to pay 40+125=165pm which will create a big hole in your pocket....This scheme is not in d2h..
Still my decision for opting for d2h over TS was not wrong as d2h having max. HD's compared to TS..Also TS missing some notable SD's like NGC people, Neos, 9X jalwa, Music india, Masti, Romedy Now etc..
One thing d2h has done is they haven't applied this funda to diamond pack so that people get deprived of english entertainment & movies in HD..Smart played haaa...so they are forcing people to opt for higher packs..It is like they have tighten the rope around our neck & asking to breath normally...HD packs & add-on were best..I think airtel having best addon's in both SD & HD..
Still I am not much affected by this HDAF policy as I am on New gold sports pack (& may remain on this pack for lifetime as they have added Ten cricket in this pack) & i don't watch English entertainment & movies channels...I get 16 HD's at 125 (7.81~8Rs. per channel) which is not bad deal for me...Also i have Best bargain ADD-ON English Entertainment...11 English entertainment + movies (SD) at 62Rs. if i at all wish to watch english channels in future...
But finally i would say this is the worst ever decision in d2h history...
Sorry for long post guys...

Quite indepth thinking and writing Sandeep23 bro .
I still don't understand how and why Tata Sky thinks that some one will pay Rs 165 for Star Sports HD1 channel ?
This is not only absurd but a
on their own face for making such packaging for users.
