Hello,
My sub id is [protected].
I did a big mistake of beleiving on helpline sales boy(named Ankit,ref. call no-1-[protected]) and bought new HD set up box.He have given me wrong commitment and product info.He have just informed me about the HD cost but not informed me about the monthly charge to view the HD channels and also the hidden cost of installation cost for the cable as he said installation is free but hide the cost involved for the cable.Now I am asking either replace this HD box with the simple box or waive the monthly charge for HD channels.But they are not agree to both the condition.They are now saying that we cannot take back the HD box also and not waive the HD Gold Pack charge also. The helpline employee(named Varun,ref. call no-1-[protected]) are even very rude and arrogant as if now I have paid the money to buy the HD box so I dont have anyother option left behind and the ball is in their hand.
This is the trade practice they are using.I would not suggest any body to go for Tata sky and specially Tata HD setup box as there is nothing great about it and you have to pay more for this also without any reason and huge difference.All is same.

Awaiting response

I had taken a new connection with TATA SKY DTH. I had paid the money on May 3rd,2011. Its been 7 days till date I have not got the installation done. Twice I had called the customer care. Thank god they pick the call. On both the occassions, someone on the other end assured me of service within 24hrs. But no response yet. In another 3 weeks I would get my first month bill for something that I am not using. This is state of TATA SKY in Bangalore. I have asked my money to be refunded. My Kind advice... NEVER go for TATA SKY in Bangalore. not sure in other cities

i m a old customer of tata sky id:[protected] with name Gurdeep singh bajwa..
i had been subscribed to family pack (one of the oldest pack of tata sky)
i recharged for rs 1000 for which i was given a bonus of rs 300..that is the total balance was rs1300. i got a call from tata sky that you can subscribe to supreme pack that will be in benefit for you. but i said i will tell you later if i have to do it or not
they changed my pack from family pack to supreme pack without my permission and when i called tata sky customer care they said they cant revert back to family pack as it is not available now.. now i am being charged extra for Kids pack from my balance.
i want my family pack back

I have paid for an annual package on Jan 29,2011 along with two multi room TV connection for an amount of Rs 9800/- through my credit card.
This payment was taken twice and reversed once on the same day. For the past two days the message flashing on my TV says I have to recharge my account. I was puzzled as I have paid for the entire year and it is valid till Jan of 2012. Subsequently I get an SMS asking me to recharge my account. I called helpline asking why I had to pay again when I have paid for the whole year. I also sent a complaint by
email. Surprisingly I get an answer from your customer care saying that the amount has been reversed on April 29th and that unless I recharge I will not be able to view TataSky. I told them that I have not asked for any reversal and why did such a thing happen. They have no answer to that. I checked up with my bank just in case the reversal had happened. But my bank has confirmed that there is no such reversal. Once again I spoke to your customer care only to be told according to your system there is a reversal and that I will not be able to continue viewing the channel. From May 2nd except for the basic package I am not able to view the full pack for which I have
paid. Customer care office is not giving me the reversal reason nor the details. I am constrained to go in for legal action for this kind of a callous and unreasonable behaviour which tantamounts to cheating. Now we have got one more SMS that the entire viewing is going to be cut. I am attaching a picture of the SMS for your doing the needful. My TataSky has been deactivated now.

There is no signal from last 24 hours but there is no solutions despite many complaints. I request you to remove your dishes from all 17 towers or provide us propper support and services. If your company is unable to provide proper services in group housing then there is no use to install dishes. I request you to take immediate actions and ensure quick solution to fix the central dish or remove your dish from here sothat we can contact another dth provide who can give us quick service. This is second issue in 15 days here. Tata Sky has installed 17 dishes on 17 towers here but there is no support staff for any problem.

Consumer Complaints. in

Dear Sirs,

I am a customer of TataSky for the past several years. I have 3 TV sets operating on a single antena. I pay an annual charge for receiving the channel programs for one set. In addition they charge additional money for the additional two sets. The charge for the additional sets was earlier Rs. 125/- per month for each set few years back, was enhanced to Rs. 150/- and only last month to Rs. 160/- per month for each add on set. Since there is no regulation of charges, the TataSky keep on enhancing these rates arbitrarily and unilaterally without giving any notice or intimation to the consumers. They simply reschedule the payment made in advance to them by hiking the rates and do not provide any account of charges levied. By charging Rs. 10/- more for each month per set, they would recover from me additional Rs.240/- per annum, which will come to crores of rupees at State level and much more at National level, without being accountable to anybody. My repeated, inquiries, objections and requests not to enhance the rates, have not evoked any response except the telephonic advice that it is the policy of the company! I have also requested their parent and holding company - Tata Sons Ltd., to intervene into the matter,but without any response from them. The TataSky does not give any postal address of it and insist on our writing to them through their e-mail address '[protected]@tatasky.com' and respond verbally through operators on my registered mobile number [protected] leaving no chance to correspond or record. This practice of TataSky is arm twisting of customers and against the law of Monopoly Act and the enactment of Consumer Protection Law.

I shall be grateful to receive your guidance and support in the matter.

Yours faithfully,

I had requested for an uninstallation & installation at a new address. their technician used to call up every morning saying we are coming today for uninstallation in the evening but that never happened. When we requested for reinstallation where the building had an internal wiring done for cable & telephone, the technician bluntly refused & used abusive language saying that we will not install the dth thru this connection. we will provide connection only through external wire. is this really the kind of technology tata sky provides to its customer

We want to submit our complaint against TATA Sky connection. It was kept blocked from last three days without any reason. When we have enquired about the closure then we found very irresponsible response from customer care and after regular follow up only it was informed that this connection was black listed due to piracy. We surprised to know that after having a mega connection with add on connection how piracy can be done. We also insisted customer care of TATA Sky to send their inspector immediately and inspect our connection but no proper response received from their end. It is very much disappointing that even though we do not have any fault and calling for total investigation no action has been taken from them. The connection is still not restored and not even they have sent anybody for inspection. We are losing our money and time both as mega package is only for a fixed period of one year. We want a complete investigation and if the problem is not attributable to my end then an appropriate claim for this harassment and wrong allegation shall be applicable to me. Please take up this Tata Sky and resolved it immediately.

I had bought the TataSky HD just 2 months ago at the cost of Rs. 2,700 (Subscriber ID [protected]). At that time I had enquired about the Tata Sky HD plus. I was informed by the executive that there is no Tata Sky HD Plus connection available. After two months TataSky has released the new HD Plus connection but is not offering any replacement option for old customers. We are ready to pay the difference in cost from the TataSky HD and Tata Sky HD plus. However, we were told that we will have to pay the entire amount of Rs. 4,000 for TataSky HD Plus. That means that our newly bought TataSky HD box will become useless.
I think this is cheating and TataSky should offer replacement of connection to customers at differential cost.
Please advise if there is a solution to the issue.

i have a logged a complaint on 1st apr 2011 with tata sky and the engg visted my place on the same day and told me that my digicomp was not working and needs a replacement and he told me that he will do that by 02.04.11 morning 10 am and today i writing to on 05.04.11 and still my problem is not sloved,its more then 4 days that i logged the complaint.on 04.04.11 i had a word with there call centre executive named Dhaval Dave, ketan, and there technical head HUZEFA MOHAMED they told me that they dont have digicomp boxes for replacement and i have to wait for more 2 -3 days to get a replacement of my digicomp after that he told me that he can't do anything more then this and told me to wait for more 2-3 days.
i just have a small question to ask that TATA Sky is a big name in the market and they only dont have digicomp for replacement in mumbai, and on another hand they give promises to slove the complaint in 24 hrs and not only that they also provide installation of new connection with in 24hrs. so it simply means that they have digicomp for new connection not for the exsiting customer to replace.it means we are fool to take a connection and make the payment on time and bound to get this kind of services from the service provider.

Hi I am using he Tata sky set top box. Recently i got a call from them regarding an offer, to get the Supreme Sports pack annually for a recharge of 1200. After the recharge is done, they are not changing the package and i am not getting these new channels. Still i am getting the old channels. The customer care says that the offer packages are to be changed by the back end team. I have waited for more than 36 hours, still no one from such team is calling me. It is just waste of time with these tata sky. They dont provide the enough information. They cannot handle any work , they dont care for the customers. I have been calling them daily 4-5 times and every time it is a different story from them. I suggst dont rely on them.

My tata sky HD plus box installation was not done even after 4 days .They have the worst Customer care . Only gives false promises.
Below is the complaint , I sent to the nodal officer Karnataka.

Also forgot to mention, I stay in Outer Ring road, near JP Morgan, in apt complex close to the main Road.
This info is to tell the fact that , my house was not in an area which was difficult to access.

Hi,
I had purchased a TATA sky HD Plus box on 29th March with intention of watching the ICC World CUP semis and finals.
1. I called Customer care on 29th afternoon on[protected] and scheduled an installation. I was promised SLA of 72 hours for the installation. Later I got a message that my installation was scheduled on 31st march 2:45 pm and the service team contact no : [protected].
2. I called up the service Engg on 30th and asked if he could install it on that day as I was available at home to watch the semifinal of ICC WORLD CUP.He said he can do it only on 31st. I reached home early from office and waited , but the person didnt turn up. I called his number [protected] mutliple time, but he never attended my call , rest of the times his number comes busy.
3. On 1st April , the same thing happened. So I called up Customer care again and told that I dont want to miss the FINALs of WORLD cup. They told the service engg has scheduled the installation at 8pm-8:45 pm and assured me I will not miss the finals. Nobody turned up , I called the [protected] number multiple times(atleast 12 times) , but as usual ,the number was busy or not responding.

4. At night 9 pm, I called up customer care, told the story again and they forwarded the call to a person Naren( supposedly supervisor) . I told my installtion was not done even after SLA period is over. He assured me saying that he will call up the service engg and assured the installation will be complete by 2nd April morning . Later he said the service engg told my number was not reachable ( this is not true, I had called him multiple times and my number was always reachable ).He also promised , I won't miss the match and took my alternate number.
5. On 2nd April, nobody turned up or called till 10:30 am. I called up customer care and told the entire story , got the info that Installation was scheduled for 12- 1 pm and assured it will happen before the match starts. I had plans to go out, but waited at home for the service engg. But he didnt turn up till 2pm. I called up the [protected] number and it was busy.
6. At 2 pm , I called up Customer care , repeated the story , they said the installation was scheduled now for 2-5:30 pm.
So in short , I haven't got my installation done till now. I am not calling up customer care again .
I know they will promise a new time now.

Thanks a lot for your Customer Service because of which all my plans to watch the match in HD with my friends got ruined. Also thanks to your supervisor NAREN who gives great promises He should be in politics. Thanks to your service engg with the mobile number [protected] . Never returns or respond to call and I am sure he will update you saying my number was not reachable. I am sure , he doesnt know what an SMS is and how to send it , if a number is not reachable.

I was happy with my existing cable connection and did a mistake by opting for TATA sky.
I would be very happy , if you can refund my money by taking the box back . I won’t ask any questions. Just want my money back.
I am putting this details in consumer complaints forums also, for the trouble I went through for getting my connection installed( which is not yet done ).
Also for ruining my hope for watching the cricket matches even after I bought the box well in advance ( this is the 4th day ).
I will advise people to stay away TATA sky and their false promises.

Thanks for your help.
