With the launch of DishTV by PrasarBharati, the miniscreen entertainment has taken new dimensions in India. I think DTH's ( Direct To Home ) existed even before the lauch of DTH by DoorDarshan. But was never this popular. Now DTH sets of DoorDarshan are available at prices starting from Rs 2490/-
DTH makes TV viewing more wonderful. With interactive menus, and 'Active' services, we can get more out of our traditional TV set.
The major factor in favor of DTH is that the picture has got stunnig quality. Every pixel on our TV set gets more detail with DTH. When this comes together with many more services like Games, its has become something which one cannot miss.
Dish TV brings to is customers access to 40+ DoorDarshan free-to-air channels, 20+ radio channels of All India Radio, About 15 private channels, Interactive Games, 5 Movie on demand Channels ( Channels on which you can see the latest movies on demand. To watch the movie a fee has to be paid per movie ), Interactive Menu with Electronic Program Guide and many 'Dish Active' services like anytime sports and news.
The Electronic Programme Guide is something which lists the programmes of every channel. Programme guides are not available for all the channels, yet most of the channels have one. This feature allows the users to browse through the programmes of 2 days ( The present day and the day very next to it ) . Some channels even have a description for their programs, for instance MGM has got a small description of their movies which contains the information about the story the cast and the crew. The new software which came in to existance a little while ago, lets the users to even set alarms for programs.
We have got 5 interactive games in DishTV at present. These games are of average to good quality and are much better than simple video games but are not anywhere near the playstation games. One can have access to these games through the menu and can play them using the provided remote.
And yes, one will get a remote to control all the activities of the DishTV. Using the remote one can access the menu, browse through the channels, set the favorite settings, add/remove channels to the favorite lists, and even do the software upgrade when a new software version is available. Oh yes! DishTV periodically upgrades their softwares to change the feel of DishTV and this software upgrades are freely available directly to their set top boxes so that the end users never feel the bite
