I am a subscriber of sundirect DTH. My set top box No is. [protected]. From 11.05.2010 I am not getting ESPN&Star Cricket channels, after adding them paying the subsription amount demanded by the operater. I registered my complaint on line. And their representative from tel No.[protected] (Ernakulam) contacted me and asked me to do some procedures as per their instruction. After 3 or 4 days, since no result came, they asked me to contact their dealer near to me, from where I bought the settop box to rectify the error. And when i contacted the dealer A&V sons net, Vadakkencherry, Palakkad dist, they asked me to bring the set top box to their shop. And aftersome time, they told me that the settop box is ok, you contact the customer care centre at no. [protected] to get the channels. And after may days attempt, i got the no and done some procedures as per their advice. The they told me that the mistake is with the settop box, you contact the dealer A&V sons to get the settop box repaired! This way that they are just fooling a customer, after collecting the subscription amount. Even though the dealer have provided some 6 telephone nos, they never attend the phone calls. Yesterday I added the channel ESPN paying 38 Rs. to view the world cup football. But of no use.Pl help

I have suffitionent balance to addon 054 (ESPN). I have made a request to ADDON 054
by SMS TO 58585 THROUGH MY BSNL NUMBER. BUT IT WAS NOT ACTIVATED.

i took this connection from chengalpet, tamilnadu,(smart card no.[protected]R) and has now brought it to kerala on shifting residence. On 06 jun, i gave a request (no.16 dt 06 jun) for refitting, to the local sun tv distbtr- channel vision, white city complex, payyannur, kannur, kerala. Despite assurances that the job will be completed by yesterday, 08 jun, it was not done. When enquired, they replied that it will be done only today 09 jun. Then i registered a complaint regarding this (complaint no.[protected]) with sun tv customer care no.- [protected] on 08 jun.
They first refused to record the complaint and told me to contact the local dealer again. After insisting , they recorded the complaint and said that it will be attended to, within 48hrs. When the local dealer refused to commit that it will be done today, i again rang up the customer care today by 1200hrs and complained. The executive there tells me to personally go and check with the local distrbtr and that phone call will not be good enough. Then i escalated the complaint and talked to Noor Mohammed who says that he will give another distributors no. and that i may contact them. He also says that the complaint will be attended to in 48 working hrs, that is 5 days. Then i asked to record a complaint for cancellation of connection due to poor response and attittude of the staff concerned. He categorically refused to record the complaint and said that this request will be taken by the distributor. This conversation took 50 mins as noor mohd was adamant and irresponsible and non-cooperative. He was so very least bothered that he even gave me his initial so that i can make a complaint against him. He also refused to further escalate the complaint saying that he is the final authority. After this, when i went to the local distrbtr, channel vision, to cancel the connection,
they say that i will have to contact the chengalpet distrbtr for cancelling connection. They however recorded my complaint for cancelling the connection (no.- 27 dt 09 jun). I also observed that they are not recording the date and complaint no. On my insistence,they put the complaint no.

Now, the sun tv service is so poor that you cannot attend the call and
give the connection, nor are you able to cancel the connection.

Please cancel my connection immediately. Since this is because of poor
service, also refund the charges for the remaining period of the
validity and also refund rs. 50/- for the 50 mins of call i made and
also refund another rs 50/- for the petrol charges i spent on going to
the local dealer, failing which, i shall be going to the consumer
court. this is the final notice.

This is to see if some thing can be done to help me out. I have recently moved from one house to other within Velachery, the distance between old home to the new is hardly a mile. I have called useless customer care and asked for help in the reinstallation. They asked me to contact the distributor where i bought the DTH set top box as expected.

I have bought the box in Vasanth & co Velachery (Settop Box Number: F[protected] / Smartcard Number: [protected] ) , i have called them and asked if they can guide me. They have given a number to call [protected] and [protected]. I have called them and asked if they can shift the dish to new location, they said they will do it for just INR 450. This amount is almost 5 months Subscription and asked the person if he thinks that is a reasonable charge. He gave a responce that it is my headache that i am changing the house so i have to pay.

Later called [protected] (Zonal office), and spoke to Aashiya (Nice voice but always answering in a painful rude tone). She transfered me to R Hema. Hema seemed to be helping every time i called, however she gave me multiple instances of assurance that she will try to arrange someone for INR 250. She has given me the names like Bala and team.

After giving my details to every employee of Sundirect they are giving me a Bhagavathgita of 450 INR again and again. I am wexed up following up with SunDirect.

I have disided to give a last call to Zonal office to get name who are responding to calls and doing nothing and got a stupid responce of security issues when i asked someone to spell the name of his collouge.

The above is the history for the past 5 days.

Today i got a call from Bala ([protected]) saying that he is sending a technician (Krishnamurthy - [protected]) on Wednesday 09th June for INR 300. I have asked him to guide me to the website where there are charges mentioned and he asked me to ignore all and get the job done with this engineer.

With the current markter trend and Globalization, it seems there is not value to the indian customers and no concept of customer satisifaction. There are many Gobal Market Players who does business abroad and know how things go. I am sometimes feels indians are not respected by indians Business Enterprenours to the level what we were by Britishers 60 years ago.


Kindly lookin to the same and Keep some space to the Customer satisifation in the indian markets. Please try to help me and let every know the charges so as to plan for these type of changes.

I hope something will be done for these kind of issues in a fast track and let us see if my issue will be fixed tomorrow.

Sun direct tv are the worst cable – dth provider. While purchasing any package they will get your signature which says in very very tiny print ..that they can discontinue any channel any time with or without prior notice. I purchased metro north pack which was quite comprehensive with many many nice channels, but immediately after 15 days 4 channels got discontinue and they say i[censored] want to see them then I will have to pay extra, again after 2 months 3-4 more channels got discontinued … they pls do something abt that. Either they shd refund my amount or they shd start those channels again… plsssss help me….

Dear Sir,

sir one setup box and smartcard not working (smart card number [protected]) since 15day’s I have given complaint for this problem but they are not respond for my problem. Many times I have approach sun direct AP customer care and dealer the problem was not solved. please help for this problem whom I have to escalate for this problem. They given register number for my problem number is [protected]

We had Sun Direct DTH Service which was working fine until a week before. A week before the Setop box was changed and since then we are not getting the DTH service. We have made multiple complaints to the Sun Direct Service line but the issue has not been resolved. Moreover they do not even seem capable of resolving the issue. We have asked them to replace the setop box but they are not taking it seriously. We believe they are doing this because we have already paid the money for the service. Is there any way of getting the money back, which we paid for a service which was not delivered.

HI,

I had recharged Sun Direct for 1 year with amount 1310/-. Sun direct Activated just 6 months plan and takes off the full amount. By talking to their call centre, each time they tell me that the problem will be fixed within 24 hrs. It has been more than 45 days now, the problem is not fixed.

My Sundirect smart card # is [protected].

I requested Sun Direct to refund the 6 months money, since the money has been taken for no reason.

I dont get proper repsonse from them and they still claim that the problem will be fixed and amount will be refunded back to my account.

I have lost hopes with sun direct.

Please help to solve this problem.

Regards,
Nagabhooshan

The call center executives are of the worst quality. I had to wait 5 Hrs for three days consecutively to reach one of them. I wanted to purchase an Add-On. After getting connected, one very poor english speaking executive came on line and took 30 more minutes to understand my requirements. After understanding the requirement he did a goo[censored]p by changing my basic plan that incurred an extra cost of Rs 120 and a loss of Rs 99 (Total Loss: Rs...

The DD National channels are blocked by SUN Direct DTH whenever India's matches in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2010 are telecasted by DD National. As you know DD National channels are free channels. By blocking this only on the match day is to indirectly force the subscriber to subscribe to ESPN & Start Sports by paying Rs.40/- to view the matches. Is it not against consumer rights. As many o[censored]s know SUN Direct DTH is run by a Minister in the Central Government. The Central Government spends lot of money in educating consumers about their rights but a firm run by its own minister is acting against consumer rights. Can't we question this ? If questioned will there be any action against SUN Direct DTH. Is consumer rights in India is only on paper ? When are we going to have real consumer rights ?

Requested for reinstallation of Sun Direct DTH on 09/04/2010 upon shifting of our residence. Subsequently, made several calls to contact them to reinstall the Sun Direct DTH at our new residence. Every time we received only false promises from Sun Direct. Till date, i.e. 14/04/2010 none of the Sun Direct DTH authorities made any attempt to attend our complaint or our request.

Dear All,

If any one got a plan to go for DTH service, better don't try Sun Direct. During the free subscription period its like an honeymoon period. Once you starts recharge for a monthly subscription, really you have to get hurted by their worst customer care. by luck you shall reacharge online, but very difficult to call & recharge thru Customer care. To talk to the customer care you have to try minimum 100times( you will get it within 10attempts, if you are lucky) & then again you have to wait for minimum 20Minutes to talk to the customer care( Your luck will never help here boss)...If you dont have a balance more than 110Rs you cannot activate Add-On packages.

To activate set max, really you dont believe, I am trying for the last 3 days & yet to get line.

I don't know about the other DTH services. does any one tell me which is the best DTH Service?

Be aware of them boss...

Bye

Prakash
