Today, direct-to-home service has
taken television experience to new horizons right from its inception. The
flexible and hassle free set up procedure that involves just a few meters of
cable, and the easy transfer process, were two of the main factors that made
DTH a favorite for thousands of families across the country. But, it is common
to find people who frequently change their satellite service providers and
those who hate the idea of having a set top box on top of their televisions. When
care is taken on some factors while choosing a satellite channels service
provider, or while transferring the service from one provider to another, a pleasant
television experience is guaranteed for everyone who use a DTH service.
Network Availability
This is the first thing one
should know about a DTH satellite
service provider before obtaining a connection from them. A short, friendly
conversion with either the customer care or the local dealer of a particular
service provider is all it takes to know if the reception and network
disturbance due to weather conditions are within acceptable or desired range,
in a particular area. By doing so, undisrupted television viewing experience is
guaranteed to the maximum.
Channel Packages
It is common to come across
people who blame the service providers for unavailability of the channels they
wish to see, even after paying a hefty initial setup fee. So, it is important
to know the channel packages, available and unavailable channels of a
DTH Satellite service provider before
acquiring a connection from them. Recently, custom channel packages are offered
as per the customer’s requirements, making it easy for a customer to know if
the DTH service includes his most favorite channels.
Service Costs
Sometimes, people would be happy
about the channel packages and the availability of network even during bad
weather, in their DTH service. But, some d2h service providers may charge
considerably high when it comes to upgrading to HD service, adding more
channels, etc. So, it is always advised to know the exact amount charged while
availing services like the above, to avoid frustration in the future.
Additional Features
Apart from network quality,
packages and service costs, different types of additional services are offered
by various DTH satellite
service providers. Such services include HD recording of a movie or series,
movie on demand, play/pause feature, extra hard disk storage, etc. For people
who look for more from their DTH service, taking a moment to know about the
additional features available with their service provider could be a better
thing to do before obtaining a connection.
Viewing TV through a satellite
and having HD feature gives a memorable experience if little care is taken
about the features above.
