Tata Sky Plus HD – Full Review and Specifications

In this post we are going to review Tata Sky Plus HD and its new features like pause and rewind a Live Tv. Before using Tata Sky Plus my biggest turn offs while watching television on larger screens are the picture quality, stretched and blurred pixels.

How does Tata Sky Plus work?

Tata Sky plus works on various Transmitters (Tx) and Receptors (Rx). Here is the detailed video:

Installations

Initially i have the old tata sky and i tried to install the new set-top box of tata sky plus hd on the older wiring and antenna but it needs two wiring to work effectively. I didn’t know that one set-top box can be activated on more than one subscriber ids but my new set-top box of tata sky plus HD can play older subscriber card (one with old set-top box) as well as newer subscriber card(one with new set-top box). Once engineer from tata sky visited my home and now they are confused about the whole setup and illusions of various subscriber cards(digicards) 🙂

Update: You can also look into our recent post on running 2 Digicards (Subscriber Card) on Single Tata Sky Plus HD (Set-top Box)

2 Subscriber ID Card (digicards) are working fine on single set-top box [Exception]
