^ Tata Sky does have its share of fanbois. I am a Tata Sky subscriber since their year of launch and what I have noticed is that the picture quality is on par with what I have seen on Dish TV and Airtel in the same area. Likewise, I have seen better picture quality on both Dish TV and Tata Sky at a different area. It does depend on the actual location too, applying a blanket rule generally doesn't work in this case
