Hello friends,

I am back after a long time to Kolkata after completing my onsite assignment in USA. I need your help and suggestions as usual.

I have a 32" LG LCD capable of handling HD telecast (HD ready). Now every DTH service provider is advertising HD telecast. I am confused with which provider to go for. For our family, the preference would be to go with the one having maximum number of HD channels. I can even go upto Rs.400 per month if I get these.

I have heard that Dish TV is providing the maximum number of HD channels (30). Please give your suggestions.

I dont have preference to record the TV programme. Only HD telecast is sufficient.

Regards,
Abhijit

Friends be careful about Dish HD. As i read in another forum, only 2 or 3 channels are real HD and all the others are SD channels upscaled to HD (just like a bluray player upscaling DVD videos to 1080p). In other words they are not 'Tru HD' as they advertise. Same is the case with other HD DTH providers.
