I was present during the Tata Sky installation at my Sisters place. After the entire installation episode what I came to know from the Engineer was that when you shift your residence, you need to return your old dish to your distributor & have to procure a new dish & pay Rs. 1000 as installation charges at your new residence from a new distributor. The only equipment that you own is the Digicomp (the Set-top box) which is currently priced at Rs. 2999. Any comments on this ?

The Coolest One!!!
that is if u have the dish and the digicomp...if they take either of it back, u are again stuck with them...
I think this thread is just stupid.... B'coz if you move to a new locality.... u still have to pay installation charges to the cable operator, if u don't want to use ur DTH ? And getting the Dish installed by a electrician makes more sense. Don't inform Tata Sky of the change of address, how are they going to know ?

Read 1 of the posts which rightly says that if you don't intimate TATA Sky abt change of address they might terminate your connection if they come to know. Also someone has rightly said that by getting it done from an Electrician u might end up saving temporarily, but later on if u hv to contact TATA Sky for some major issue u compulsorily hv to intimate them abt ur address change & end up paying Rs. 1000.

If you can still hol on to the older address for billing purposes i guess, but how many can do that.
As it stands You took out a contract with Tata Sky and if you dont like it then choose some one else.
Until then you are bound by whatever you signed for.
Sucks..i know..but maybe with more players entering the same space..things might improve.

^^I totally agree with you.....Since they are not asking extra money for the dish, its pretty much obvious that u have no authority over it.....The dish need not be in your premises also....Since they are taking Rs.1000 for the installation, its their headache to get the signal......If there is any other dish nearby, they might even take the connection from there......In my uncle's place the dish was fixed for my uncle's TV in his balcony...when his neighour wanted a connection the engineers just took the connection from the existing dish....They did not bring in a new dish.......
hmmm, that's funny. The building next to us (a 4 floor apartment building), Has got 5 dishes!!! I was myself wondering why they wouldn't have just connected all the apartments with one dish. I thought that they probably allot a separate dish to each subscriber, but it seems froma couple of posts that that is not the case. hmmm...
Also, Tata Sky techs do some real crappy installations... so much for being better than the "local cable-wallah" - they do the same "taar kheech ke lago do yaar" installation... terrible. They should learn from Airtel.

Actually its not their fault to provide seperate dish to everyone in the same building... At the time of installation they ask the customer if they want to use a single dish for whole building or they want to get their seperate dish installed... most of customers cos of ignorance think tht y to share my dish with anyone (they also think dish will be their property 😉 ) and get the individual mindish installed at their balcony.... When Tata Sky guys did an installation at my place they were very professional and got the wire pinned up properly... May be now with demand shooting up they r lowering the service... which i think is sad...
hmmm, why would Tata Sky put five dishes up when they can get away with one? If the customers insist a lot, then maybe I can understand, but most people don't tend to be that assertive. If it doesn't harm the quality of signal and general functionality then why would anyone insist "nahin muche to apna hi dish chahiye hai"??
