It's only for the first 4 months i think. And the pic of their recharge coupon has 550 printed in bold. I hope that's valid for 2 months coz am sure as hell not paying that much for the current bouquet of channels on offer.
EDIT: To summarize the whole thing.
TATA-SKY
Initial Cost
1. Set-top box - 2999
2. Installation plus Activation plus warranty charges - 1000
3. Subscription Fee - 200 (for the full set of 55 channels for the first four months)
For Additional
TV's
1. Separate set-top box for each additional tv (upto 4) @ 2999 each (will use the same dish)
2. Choose a package as the primary subscription for any one television.
2. You'll get all the channels in the package selected on all televisions.
3. Fee (in addition to the monthly subscription) - Rs. 100/month
55 channels currently on offer. Zee should be available soon. (HBO is part of
Sony's package but missing for the list for some reason)
DISH TV
Maxi Offer - 3490 (includes 3 months subscription to 125 channels, 300/month for the Maxi package thereafter), installation Rs 200 extra
*The Price is inclusive of set top box rental for 5 years, handling charges and all applicable taxes.
One STB can only service one TV at a time. (u can connect more than one tv to a STB with parallel wiring but you will be viewing the same channel at one time on both the televisions, so it's useless)
