I have been using the Hathway Digital SetTop Box from past few months, and am very happy with it! using it on a Plasma, it makes the pictures look even better, coz bad picture looks horrible, and good pic looks great!

Here in Hyderabad they are selling the box for Rs.2,500/- and monthly rental is around Rs.300/- with more around 130+ channels!

I saw TATA Sky installed at my inlaws, the pic quality is good, cant say its better than the Settop box i am using thou! its the same. but the dissapointing thing is no Zee pack in it, and not even HBO!!!!! totally they give around 56 channels only! many good channels are missing, like CNBC, Discovery - Travel & Living, HBO, Zee pack, and more!

Cost for TATA Sky : Rs.4,550/- which includes the Dish, Settopbox, and 3 months subscribtion.

If u notice, basically both are working thru SET TOP Box only! jus that in hathway, u get the signals thru a cable thru the dish in their office, in Tatasky/Dish TV, u get the cable coming from a dish above ur house!
