I'm thinking to get any DTH(D2H/Tata Sky etc) soon or later(after compulsory digitization) for my 2nd CRT TV.
But I planning to run it for about 4 to 6 months in a year cos I already have Cable with my 1st CRT TV.

Is there a long term suspension option available for any DTH ?
If YES, what would the cost for that ?
Also, if I simply stop recharging my account, what will happens?
And what would be the way/charges to restart services after that?
Do I need to do any paper work or need to do anything to start service again ?
Any if i want to change Chanel package at next time ?
And which DTH cheaper and good at after sale service ?
Suppose the Dish move from its exact place due to storm then how much they(DTH) gonna charge to fix this ?
BTW,can I do this by myself ?

Thanks!
 
Used in tata sky.

Friend has used for 3 months. He didnt recharge for 6-7 months, They will call sometime, tell them you are out of station or country.

Next time you recharge, they will cut 10 Rs as reactivation.
 
I have a Videocon D2H, I hadnt recharged since last December. Recharged it a week ago, it recharged like normal and no deductions, no extra funda. Just started working within 30 seconds of recharging.
 
Thanks for ur replies guys!
Then its Rs.10/- for TATA Sky and nothing for D2H.
That good for me.


You can try out the multi room connection features which some DTH service providers have. Eg for videocon check the link
D2H Satellite | DTH Connestion |Digital TV Offers | DTH Satellite Box - Videocon d2h

Think is available in Tata Sky also.

Thanks for the link!
This offer is good too.
Only I have to invest a on extra STBs.
My cable took Rs.600/- for STB but still not gave us STB.
At resent cable is cheapest option cos I'm getting most of the PAY channels @200/-.
I'm gonna wait until July 1st 2012.
Then things could change a little bit ?
May be new DTH connection could be cheaper.....
 
^ dth rates have increased due to increase in service tax and entertainment tax. dth wont be cheaper than cable.
 
Yes,u r right.
service tax increase.
If there a competition(after all become same Digital) between DTH and cable price could drop for DTH may be ?
But,I don't think 'Cable Amendment Law' gonna deploy soon.
As always time will tell who will get more benefit from this act we or Govt or these business guys.
