Well from experience, i can say that getting HD channels is pain in the a$$. Reciever needs updation every now and then and still they gets turned Off. Maybe buy some expensive reciever with company line for HD channels like tiger t8 or something, other wise dont bother with HD.
Regarding cline, I get dish tv sd line for 150 -200 rs per 3 months, 200 rs line is very very good on zong 4g. for HD channels, i am getting like 80 HD channels but most of them are Off and dont work onthis line, the only HD channels that are FTA are currently working
Did'nt really get you.
You've been buying from the wrong people then. Nowadays even Rs.100 line for 3 months works flawless for SD channels.
For HD channels you need to get the line from a reputable guy... There are no issues at all. Almost all receivers come with a 1 year service. After the first year you'll either have to get a cline or get another receiver.
It however is risky as you can do nothing if channels get off from sharing.
For that you can get Airtel, Tatasky, VideoCon, DishTV, ETC. They cost Rs.1200-1500 per month and you'll never have to worry about getting disconnect or anything.
Since, Pakistan's own DTH service will start in a year or so... One can get the Digital Boxes being provided by all Local Cable operators nowadays.
PIB, Nazimabad, Gulshan, Johar, Tariq road, ETC.
One time cost is Rs.3500-5000 and monthly charges ranges from Rs.350-600.
You get alot of HD channels including HUM TV HD (Bad Example)
Few HD channels are,
Star Movies, OSN Movies, Fox Movies, HBO 2, HBO 3, Movies now, Cinemachi, Baby tv HD, ETC.
Best thing about the local digital box is that THEY ARE UNCENSORED. No Indian adds, No katamkaati while watching SAW 2-3-4-5-6.
We've came along way in tv entertainment. Dish's nowadays are for those who actually want to control what they watch.
Hope that helps.
