i have bought tatasky yeaterday and was promised to my 7 yr old son that it will be installed next day surely.next day when i enquired with thier so called customer centre i was told that my registration has been done but installation has been scheduled on 23rd and cannot be preponed inspite of repeatedly requesting that i have to go out of chennai on 23rd but of no avail. i kept wondering that why on earth a customer have to suffer after paying the full cost including installation upfront then lie back helplessly at the mercy of a organisation which does not have meagre infrastructure to handle a small clientle .i feel poor customer service,insufficient manpower and unprofessional staff are the key to thier so claimed success, by taking thier customers for a ride . keep it up tatasky .

Broadcasting Services may be good, but servers are always down. ithas been 3 months since i am trying to register on their server but to no avail. One can't log on to selfcare portal ever. what to talk about recharging services. If a giant like TATA ia unable to manage their services their must be a role of SUN servers as well. They should see to protect their reputation.

The launch of Tata Sky may be able to make a little difference, as DTH services from Doordarshan and Zee have failed miserably , which can be measured on the basis of number of Subscribers they hold. Like in Dish TV of Zee only Zee programmes are given Prominence and same case with Doordarshan DTH.And naturally Star will give preference for Star Programmes on Tata Sky.So if u want to watch Programmes from Star, Sony, Zee, Etc You need to have a seperate DTH for each Network(means Star, Sony ,Zee) Etc and the cost wiil be in Thousands per month, for all the channels to come, leave aside the cost of Set Top boxes from each of these service providers, compared to the cost billed by a local Cable Operator.This is nothing but taking people for a ride in the name of Digital Technology.

  I agree with what Ashok has said. DTH has failed miserably in India.And its a scam to promote their favored channels.

Tata Sky,Very bad experiance in my life. Booked my connection in Hyderabad through phone, paid money and now literllay begging for my Set Top box and installation to officers here. They even threat me to cancel my order, if I ask for my box. They do not provide any senior officer no. for esclation. It is also not avaliable on Net. It seems this company is being run by unproffesionals with no ethical and moral reponsiblity. I must say very bad service and attitude. Can anyone from senior management look into this issue? It is important if you want to save your Company from such people. I will file a seprate legal case for damages for my money, interest and mental torture. I would also request to replace all Customer care assistants from Hyderabad office in tata sky Thanks Amit Jain
