Even i am facing problem after purchasing BIG TV... Frequently i will see signal lost (Connection in Rural area) when i ask customer care about this they will take complaint and when it comes to ISP people ..Those ISP buggers ask petrol charge and 100 Rs tips to come and sort out the issue. I am not understanding one thing. Is Reliance so poor not able to pay ISP people?. If Reliance feels it should be better DTH provider then these problems should not exist else you will see these kind of blogs again and again.

Guys Customer care/ISP Service is worst ... I was a BIG fan of Anil Ambani but now he lost that fame ...Ambani Bhai This is serious issue else BIG TV will go for Toss

Reliance BIG TV is the worst in terms of service, customer satisfaction. I had bought Reliance BIG TV (3 set top boxes along with the annual subscription for each tv) for my tv's at home. The first few days all the channels were coming. However after a few days, channels like Star World, ESPN, Colours, Zoom and all those channels that we had subscrivbed too stopped coming. I have made innumerable complaints but they simply refuse to do anything about it. This is downright thievery and I am helpless coz my one year subscription has been paid and nobody is read to address these complaints. RELIANCE BIG TV IS THE WORST.

Well, BIG Tv has been very clever while mentioning MPEG-4- it just says "India's 1st MPEG4 technology" - which it is not anyway!!(Sun direct is.)

MPEG-4 means better compression for the SAME quality as MPEG2.
Thus, BIG Tv will be able to carry more channels in less space using their existing satellite link, while MPEG2 providers such as Tata sky need to add transponders to their satellite links when they run out of space. However, I fail to see how we, as customers, have any interest in how many transponders our DTH service is employing.

So, MPEG-4 or MPEG-2, it really makes no difference to the end consumer!

That's a meaningful list of non-starters!

Thanks for sharing Avdesh!

Guys dont even think of buying a big tv connection. These ppl are simply luring its customers thru idiotic offers. 10 reasons for not buying a BIG tv connection
1. Zero customer care
2. No information to customer abt plans
3. No way for customer to check his plans
4. Vague billing system
5. USB option is of no use
6. No support for assigning favorites
7. Frequent changing plan tariffs
8. Very slow processing when using remote
9. No solution for complaints
10. Some buttons of remote dont even work
