TATA SKY relocation problem

[chashti]

Tata Sky should provide at least 2-3 times free installation of Dish during relocation within certain period of time like within 1 year.currently they are charging 600 Rs. ( previously it was Rs 1000). This is very expensive devise for some one who spend his life in rented house like me. Recently i shifted my house and i dismantled the dish and took it along with me. I tried fix it myself but not able to do so as it requires pinpoint precision.Even though at some point i got signal strength of 199 ( INSAT 4A-15 selected. INSAT 4A is located 83 degree east) but the quality indicator remained at 0.what will happen if i discontinue my subscription?( only few days left for recharge). Do they take back dish from me?I don't want to pay 600 RS for just fixing the dish. After that again i have to spend Rs 1000 for recharge.One of main the reason why i bought TATA SKY was that it can be taken any where ( within our country) so that i don't have to pay cable operator non refundable advance.But didn't knew that relocating charges are going to cost more than that) .I just want people know about the facts regarding TATA SKY so they should think well before going for it.Any pointers for fixing the dish are highly welcomed.yesterday i got success in fixing the dish at right position.I fixed it towards east at 83 degree by making slight adjustments.i had to take my TV to terrace to see the signal level.I fixed the dish to terrace wall with screws. although it took me good amount of time for fixing, finally i was able to get good enough signal.

I understand your problem but considering that you are always on the move , Tata Sky was never going to be a feasible option for you. I also disagree about tatasky providing free relocation. Positioning the dish and doing the wiring is not a matter of a few minutes. It requires expertise and time. The original price of 1000 Rs was stupid and that the revised one of 600 Rs is still a bit high and a figure of around 300 Rs sounds just about right. There is also an option of getting someone from the local electronics store who install DD Direct and getting the work done for less money but ti comes at a risk of your warranty getting void.

I think at least that dish should not cause any problems for some years.Only problem can occur with STB due to fluctuation in power or due to non functioning of some electronic components in that case within warranty period I can get service from them.

We have to agree that installation by TS technician may require Rs 600, but if someone has done installation himself, is he still charged?

Hey karthi, If you installed yourself why TS reduces the amt?.Plz tell it clear.They will charge only when the installation is done by a TS personnel.

what the hell is this man, you should pay only if you have called up for Tata Sky technician...if you have done it your self then no point of deducting money. they are just looting customers by giving reasons that we have policy like that...its very bad.Also please check out their policy statements on their wesite and see what it says. is their any clause like that if it is their why they have not told it at the time of purchase. That means they are just hiding fact with the customers, let the customer suffer with that.

 

[meetdhil]

Yes you are right.If you have installed it at your own risk,then why should they reduce your amt?.

 

[KARTHIKEYAN]
