Hathway goes HD in Bangalore??

[gopichandpai]

Even I am not getting EPG on any HD channels.

@canchi and @petes
Are you getting EPG on HD channels?

 

[kaushik]

Trap for 1 year..haha .I use their net ..itz just ok.

The fact that the only payment option is yearly seems very strange to me. I know that most of my neighbours pay monthly and I'm the only one who pays more than one month in advance (I pay for 6 at a time). When this is the case, I cant imagine their strategy for a whole year.

Also, considering that they are a well established service provider, they could have really used this opportunity to flaunt their superiority (so to speak) by pricing this deal well and giving the DTHs something to worry about. In my opinion, no one will be able to appreciate this service purely because of the cost and payment options.

The first year fee was with STB inc. (Rs 6,666/-)
What about 2nd year fee?

 

[DIVASMMM]

If your cable is through Cable operator (not from Hathway), then be prepared to shell out more for HD. I was told that HD service will cost Rs. 5700/- for initial set up and you need to shell out monthly rent for the operator!!!
Sounds crazy.......!!!

All flop policies for hathway. All he is trying to pool extra income from HD channels for itself.Says ist year subscription is included in 6666 he clearly states that monthy charges will remain the same as operator service charges . From next year we have to pay to hathway directly else hd channels will be blocked on non payment directly to them with the cas module.Its clear that he doeent want to give anything to cable operator
Super flop

Now EPG is available for HD channels as well. There are games as well on HD box now. Games are same as digital STB.
They haven't added any new HD channels as of now.

thanks in advance

I have the regular SD STB and ever since they revamped the menu layout of the software a few months ago, there isnt any Messages or Inbox option anywhere. Where did u get the message?

 

[canchi]

HD Audio is better than SD, but there is no 5.1 surround

 

[petes]

@rahul: This is applicable only for customers using HD Set-top box..

 

[rahulxy]

Got it... Do keep us posted abt and updates the the software.

 

[petes]

I am unable to switch on the set-top box from stand by mode.... The red light is not turning to green even after pressing power button.....

is it something to do with the recent update or whether the update is still happening and will go overnight??

any HD guys with similar problem??

[gopichandpai]

I was thinking stand by mode is on mode.. so never turned off the STB!

 

[gopichandpai]

Software upgrade is done but I can't see any difference!

 

[petes]

even i did not turn off the HTB. But yesterday, even after pressing the power button it was not changing to green. However, after turning off the mains and switching it on again solved this problem today.....

one more thing.... I see that amber light (message light) will never turn off even after reading the message... is that so??

 

[gopichandpai]

>> I see that amber light (message light) will never turn off even after reading the message... is that so??

No issue as such in my STB

 

[petes]

ok... but whether the amber light is turning on when you receive a message and turning off after you read it..??
