I suggest we can change the title of this thread to somewhat like "Share your first hand experiences of HD DVR"......
I thought of starting a new thread, but there are so relating to this thing, that a new user will only get confused, as to where to find the relevant stuff!!
@ Thread
I am sharing my first hand experience of this product.......
I booked my connection through Online Team on Friday night & the installation was completed yesterday.
About time taken for installation, i was a bit disappointed.....coz the 2 guys came at 2:30 in the afternoon, & the final testing and all was completed by 6:45 PM or so.....the "Senior" of the 2 said that HD DVR installation normally takes 4-5 hours [:O].
I want to ask other users of D2h & also of other DTH providers, is this ture?? Frankly speaking i felt he took me for a ride.....anyways, it was done in the end.
The demo is pending, coz he said his senior had better idea so it is advisable to get it from that person - fine enough - should be today or so.
As regards channels......i also feel HD is worth spending the money. never seen such
sharp content on Live
TV!!
PACKAGE CONTENTS
1) 1 GOLD Plated HDMI cable.
2) Standard A/V Cable too is there if you dont have HDMI in TV.
3) 1 USB Cable - I think it is the 1 meant to be used as extension.....USB port is situated at the back, so may be to avoid those hassles, this cable can come in handy.
4) The STB of course - Manufactured by Altech UEC (Pty) Ltd, South Africa, Model 4611. (for those who want to
Google it up)
5) The Remote Control & Adaptor for Power Supply.
6) User Guide
7) And yes, 1 month Platinum HD pack worth 440 is free.
All the functions are same as offered by other DTH providers - Play/Pause live TV, Rewind/Forward, Record/Schedule Recording of shows......
But 1 thing that i am really curious about is - There's a Purple button at the bottom of the remote.....the User Guide named it as "Motion Sensor button". But i havent gone thru it much due to lack of time......It will be known only when the person comes for demo.
HD Channels available -
1) NGC HD
2) Discovery HD
3) Movies Now HD
4) Travel XP HD
5) D2h Movies HD
6) D2h
Music HD (Video Songs channel)
7) Test Channel - I saw Zee over here, but i think it may be due to glitch.....coz i couldnt make out much difference between normal Zee, and this channel. So, the mystery remains as to which is this channel - Zee TV HD or some other.
8) Test Feed - It showed me the standard message about "Not subscribed.......blah blah". Even this remains a mystery.
And deep within, i hope that 1 of them is Star Cricket HD......coz without that, their product wont be sold - atleast new buyers will think twice as we all know TS is offering it for Free, along with Active services!!
All in all - i would feel that the effective cost would fall to around 5.5k given the added benefits.
I am not making any judgments here - i dont know what others are offering, and what is their "Effective Cost".......
Will post things as & when anything comes to my mind. Or may be if anyone requires further info, can post their queries.
