TS provides hbo premium hd channels.
If I pay ₹990 per year for the HBO Premium Channels subscription under the Specials category, am I eligible to get the HD versions of both HBO Defined and Hits?

hd acess fee is free for new connections for 1 year

would get all Correspondent SD and HD channel, by subscribing Grand Sports with New connection.

Just active Mega Hd on 1st box and all Sd n Hd channels in just Rs.200 monthly.

Thanks. So, I guess I should subscribe to the Grand Sports pack for the first year and save the HD access fee and switch to Mega HD from the next year onwards. That would make most sense, right?

Current Plan: ₹5,115
Supreme Sports Kids (₹3,190) + HD Access Fee (₹1,925)
New Subscription, First Year: ₹18,355
Tata Sky+ Transfer HD (₹8,900) + Grand Sports (₹5,335) + HD Access Fee (Free) + HBO Premium Channels (₹990) + Star World Premiere (₹600) + Multi-TV (₹2,530)
New Subscription, Second Year Onwards: ₹11,620
Mega HD (₹7,500) + HBO Premium Channels (₹990) + Star World Premiere (₹600) + Multi-TV (₹2,530)

List of English HD Channels Covered:
  1. AXN
  2. CNBC TV18 Prime
  3. Colors Infinity
  4. Comedy Central
  5. Discovery
  6. Fox Life
  7. FX
  8. HBO Defined
  9. HBO Hits
  10. History TV18
  11. MN+
  12. Movies Now
  13. Nat Geo Wild
  14. National Geographic
  15. PIX
  16. Star Movies
  17. Star Movies Select
  18. Star World
  19. Star World Premiere
  20. Zee Cafe
  21. Zee Studio
So, a pretty steep jump in expenses, but I think ₹1,000 per month (from the second year onwards) is still a decent amount for the best HD English and Hindi content in India on two TVs, both with practically unlimited convenience features, including the pausing and rewinding of live television and versatile recording options. It also includes six Showcase titles for free.

I’ll try to use my bedroom’s television with just my own downloaded content (over 6TB of HD movies and television shows) for a few months and see if that’s good enough. If not, I think I’ll end up going with Tata Sky from the beginning of next year.

Thank you for all your help.

If I were to get all the HD English channels available on the Dish platform, along with their HD box with built-in recorder, how much would it cost me, everything included? And would it give me the ability to pause and rewind live television?

I have tried to do this research myself but I am very confused with the websites of all these DTH operators. Please help me out, if you have an easier time deciphering them.

I havnt know much about Dishtv but they have no dedicated Hard Disk Recording Box. Recording is only from USB.
But u can get Full On HD pack with lowest base pack to get all HD channels.

If u don't mind spending a little more then go for tata sky plus hd as it will give u the option to record and play/pause live tv else take Videocon d2h 4K STB as it has the best in class software thus giving a great viewing experience, u can play/pause live tv along with doing recording on USB and Videocon is cost effective, currently it does not have few english hd chs like CC HD, FX HD, Zee Cafe but by diwali they will add them for sure
