What can I say…
My dad is just too good. He doesn’t need much of a reason to get any service or gadget (which he likes). So all of them come without a confirmation from anybody. Be it for World Space Satellite Radio, Home Theatre Systems or Dish TV. Just a day long bandh from Cable Operators in Mumbai was good enough for him to order Dish TV. Not that I do not like it but sometimes it gets annoying when he lands up with a not-so-good thing.
But well - considering we never payed our cable operators for the connection since eternity, dish tv could very well be worth it. Especially at times when cable network is down. I am eager to check out the quality of video and sound on it.

I dont think a revu would be of any help nor I have much content to post about it. I will post the stuff in here.
First things first, I have not yet subscribed a paid package so all the free stuff there is on, is pure crap ( as in the channels). I would make sure we get all the channels that they have. The sound and video quality is definitely better than normal TV. Swapping Channels is no longer accompanied with lags. Sadly, only one TV can view broadcasts at a time. If used on multiple recievers, you end up getting the same channels. I havent actually checked out the set top box yet, to see if I can configure it on the tv-tuner. That would really be nice.
Besides, both of us have got the Pinnacle PCTV stereo which supports, Stereo sound! So we can expect some quality music, a notch above what we are used to on tele.
