Cable TV vs DTH

Should we stick with Cable TV or switch to DTH ?

The answer is straight, Stick to Cable TV if you have good service at your area.  Here is why:-

With cable TV you spend Rs 200 to 350 per month (depending on different states of India) and you get:-

  • Access to latest movies without paying extra money.
  • You can watch latest local news as it happens.  This is very important and biggest feature that is missing in DTH services.
  • You can use same connection for all TV sets in your home by paying additional 100 rupees of so. (negotiable depending on nature of cable wala)
