Things to Consider Before Choosing Your DTH Pack

Today when everyone is profiting with the “pay for only what you watch” scheme introduced by TRAI (Television Regulatory Authority of India) why then should you be left behind, paying unnecessary TV bills for programs you don’t watch? Now, you will be able to choose your own plan from available DTH plans as provided by your DTH provider. However there are things to consider even then, as a TV pack is a more or less permanent thing, at least for a month. To get a satisfactory pack with all your desired channels, you should pay some attention while choosing your TV pack.

Choosing your TV package

Of course, everyone would like to get more channels while paying for less. This is why the television providers have introduced different DTH plans so every makes a profit. But sometimes, going by the lucrative offers, you choose a pack that seeming looks like the best channel plan for you but later one day you might remember a channel that you sometimes watch and you forgot to have it added to your pack and you end up getting the channel added on the à-la-carte (extra addition) basis. Hence it is advised to carefully list your desired channels and keep reviewing before choosing your pack.

Things to Consider before Choosing your DTH Pack

Firstly, as you are in India, you have to consider whether your TV is viewed by your entire family, then you have to consider the likes of your family members as they might want different channels for TV viewing. However, when that is resolved and you know what channels you want, you should further consider these next parameters—

1. Kids Channels

You should consider adding a few kids’ channels like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, POGO and Disney among others to your DTH plan so your kid(s) have something to watch among the other grownups in your family.

2. Sports Channels

If you are not the avid sports aficionado, but do occasionally love watching crucial matches either as a national team supporter or for a recreational purpose, you can consider adding one or two mainstream sports channels to your television package, so you don’t miss out on all the fun.

3. Family Entertainment

It is understandable that this section makes the largest part of your television package. However, you should know which channels you and your family enjoy watching the most. Choose a couple of both local and foreign language channels for wholesome family entertainment.

4. Movie Channels

With on-demand movies and movies being telecast on entertainment channels, you don’t really need movie channels, but in case you are into occasionally watching Hollywood movies among other films at odd hours of the day, you can add one or two movie channels to your package.

5. Active Services

There are active service plans made available by DTH provider and you will be able to include them into your monthly or annually billable packages. These services are progressive in scope, like learning dance, learning English, interactive study packs for school going children to learn school subjects among many others. So, you can consider add a few of these to your pack.

Apart from the above, you can consider adding Music channels like MTV, Zoom, Informative channels such as NatGeo, Discovery, News channels, and lastly but not the least, a Travel and Living channel from the available DTH plans so that you get the best of everything.
