They just said that they plan to carry 35 HD channels and now they have gone and removed one of the better channels available. The EPG of NG Adventure is still that of TravelXP. Hope it returns soon.

Also, what's up with this Subscriber Application Form? There are ads and banners on every channel asking us to submit the form along with specific channels by June 25 (if I remember correctly) otherwise it'll be disconnected. But literally no one has any idea about this.
 
Subscriber application form submission is mandatory for only Delhi(and Mumbai probably).

Yesterday, Hathway folks had come in to collect the Subscriber application forms. They filled in our names and our address, number of set top boxes and collected address proof copy. So looks like registration of cable subscribers has started in Bangalore as well.
 
Apart from channel preferences, they should already have all that info when we took the HD box...

I wanted to ask a point which I've been forgetting to ask over the past few weeks. Does anyone get constant disturbance on the new Nat Geo HD channels? All the channels (NG Wild, Adv, Music & Traveller) get disturbances on their picture every few minutes. It isnt the whole picture, just one side or the bottom.

The strange thing is, every other HD channel is OK. It's an issue with only the new Nat Geo channels.
 
That's good news. I also noticed that Ten Action has finally been added in Bangalore. I cant think of any major SD channels that are now missing.
 
Did he give you channel list or package list?

Nope. All he did was to get our details. When I asked him why, he said Government wanted to know all the details :)
Anyway it might be some time before they implement the packages yet as IIRC the deadline for registering subscribers in the tier 2 digitization is end of September, a good 2 months away.

When we took the HD STB, we had not filled any details on any forms IIRC.
I have seen this pixellation on some of the HD channels not restricted to Nat Geo set and was suspecting signal strength issue at our local end. Need to complain and get it set right.
 
Has the form filling procedure started in Hathway Mumbai..because when I asked my local cable operator he said not yet and almost 50% of the channels gone off Air..:(
 
If I am not wrong, it should be completed by August 2nd in Mumbai. If you don't fill and submit the form, all the channels will be switched off.
 
My guess is that HBO Hits and Defined may be offered as as a subscription-only channel, much like how Ten Golf is right now.

They seem to be presenting themselves as a premium channel rather than just a HD channel.

Does anyone know how Ten Golf is faring so far?
 
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
