Discovery and Animal plant is back. Is it true that comet is making their downlinking station at Paduka and by the end of the month they are starting digital. If anybody has new please let us know.

If comet can add Zee sports and DD sports it will be great. DD sports do have some live sports, speacily with Oliympics 2008 coming up next year.

According to CC Customer care, the launch of Digital is now been pushed back to October. I guess, you can never believe CC until you actually see it!

Comet Customers,

Have a Coke while you wait for digital! I am sure guy's gonna need it. Even with the new management, if they cannot keep to there own schedule, good luck waiting! I will never regret switching to DTV from CC.

No matter when CC Digital will be launched and what the channel line up is, DTV will outshine CC at any given time. DTV management is far superior than of CC + DTV has the backing of "Money Power" which is most essential!
Rest assured, DTV will be another Dialog GSM in time to come....

Nobodys holding a gun to your head and saying to pay 1800/- for 18 channels. The laughter must be from the comet management who is laughing all the way to the bank.

The "misery" you talked about is self inflicted and no one can help you other than yourself.

DTV really sucks, no one will understand it untill you make a move to DTV.
If you like to watch the programs of HELL then you are most welcomed to Dialog

If CC keeps to its current trend of mis leading the customers, I am sure Hell will be a better option!
Cheaper subscription, 50+ channel line up.
The loosers can stick to CC while DTV customers enjoy uninterrupted
service...Whom are you guy's trying to kid ha?

Truth hurts ha? 3 cheers to DTV and Booooo to CC...
