Got a new widescreen television set for your home? Then you must be expecting impressive picture quality and crystal-clear definition. Yes, the picture quality does improve with a high-end modern television. But unless and until you get HD DTH services, you can never enjoy high definition and awe-inspiring video quality. For the channels to be in high definition, you need HD subscription in your DTH along with HD support in your television. We have gathered some of the upcoming HD channels in India.
You must have noticed that not all channels available in your DTH has its HD version. Only a handful of them have a HD version and can be subscribed to. Due to increased demand of HD channels, many non-HD channels have planned to launch their HD version very soon.
HD channels in India offered by various DTH service providers
At the moment, very few DTH service have 100+ HD channels. Tata sky channel list has got more number of HD channels when compared to that of Dish TV channel list and Videocon D2H channel list.
- Tata sky offers 102 HD channels
- Dish TV offers just 60,
- Videocon D2H offers just 50.
The others have got even fewer.
For example, Sun Direct offers just 17 HD channels. But Reliance Big TV offer giving effectively free set-top box with one year of free HD services will certainly impact other DTH companies in India.
Even though it has fewer HD channels, yet people would love to go for it as it gives all the major or in demand HD channels that too for free for a year.
Major movie channels like Star Movies, HBO, Zee Cinema, Sony Pix, Set Max etc. all have got their own HD versions and each of them has a staggering number of subscribers.
It is not just movies, but there are music channels, knowledge-based channels, cartoon or Kids channels, etc. that are also available in various DTH services.
