Digitization in India is Complete, For Years We had Dookh Darshan, and then With Revolution We Had Cable and Private Channels, Today Scenario Is Changed, Soon We will have Single Provider for all your Services, Like Internet, TV, Telephone and Net Security, Even Highly Efficient IPTV Can be Launched in India, If we can achieve Good Internet Speed,
Here i am Doing Primary Comparison Between Tata Sky, Airtel and Local Cable, I will Ignore Less Significant Big, Dish TV, and Videocon D2H. Southern Indians Can Consider Sun Direct instead of Airtel,
Tata Sky,
Tata Sky Offer Premium Direct 2 Home Service, in HD and SD, it is Quite Expensive Service Compared to its Counter Parts, Tata Sky Offers Various Advantages Over Others, Listed Below,
- Hardware Quality: Quality of Set Top Box is Exceptional,
- Remote Control: Remote Both HD and SD Feels Right and Deliver Desired Result, HD + Set Top Box is Really and Upgrade

Disadvantages of Tata Sky:

Airtel DTH,
Airtel DTH is Prominant DTH Provider for HD and SD Services, and is Quite Popular, Airtel has Limited Advantages in Comparison with Tata Sky and Local Cable

- After Sales is Poor,
- Recharge Reflection take Long time, and Your TV May Be off, In case you Forgot to Keep it on during Recharge,
- Universal Remote Sucks on Airtel, Neither Samsung Nor Harmony Universal Remote is Any Good with Airtel
- Pay Per View Channels Are not Great
Local Cable
Local Cable is Transmitted Digitally thru Cable Line and is Generally Considered Cheapest Option, and has host of disadvantages Compared to Others, But also Carries some Advantages,
Advantages:
- Local City Channels Are Available
- Bill Collection is Done Manually By people
- Service Depends on Person, so you may be able to get privileged Service,
- You Can Pay for One Connection and run two tv with two Set top Box, Depends on your Cable Guy,
Disadvantages:
- Worst reception,
- Not MPEG -4
- High Downtime,
- Cable Looming All Over your Terrace and Streets,
- Cheap hardware, and Bad Remote
- No pay Per view
- No Special Channels, Like Star Premium HD,
- Fixed Rate, Not Market Determined Cost,
- Multi TV is Worst, and With Each Addition, quality reduces,
- No Guarantee of perfect Visual Experince
- Less Number of HD Channels,
- Remote Feels Crap and Not Configurable with Samsung on Harmony,
These are Some Comparison points Which will help you Decide with Service to Opt for, however Please note that, if you are using Local Cable you are indirectly supporting Corruption, Gangwars etc, Since Local Cable Operators Collect Payment in Cash and Offers Multiple TV without any Additional Cost, Which is Actually a Theft, Also Local Cable looms over your terrace with wire, which is Hazardous for Birds,
In My Choice Tata Sky will remain Best Option if you are ready to pay little more,
