How Many Channels You Want

You should buy your plan depending on how many channels you would like to watch or can actually watch. Popular service providers like Airtel offers interesting and attractive plans and are now offering an upgrade to all channels if you choose the yearly plan of Rs. 5500/-. The yearly plan does not include Sun TV and interactive TV. Similarly, if you choose the monthly plan, it is better to check out which channels such as regional language channels, HD channels, sports channels, etc. are included in the D2H plan.

Connections and Recording

A new connection requires you to invest money in a set top box. However, at the time of choosing the box, remember to check out the recording vs. non-recording ones. Recording comes at an extra cost, but it's one of the most convenient features of the box as it lets you schedule the recording of shows that you never want to miss and enjoy your favorite shows in HD channels. Also, for every additional connection from the same Set top box, there is a one-time installation and a monthly recharge.

Package Plans and Budget

This is the trickiest part of the whole job of choosing the right D2H TV plan. You may want to subscribe to the Ultra pack but your monthly budget allows for the Standard pack. You have to make sure how much you have to spend extra on your favorite sports and HD channels. Choose one plan for a month and if not happy, at the end of the month, once again ask the customer care to help you look at the different D2H recharge offers that your broadcaster offers. Don’t miss out on the yearly all-inclusive plans.
Most D2H new connections come with warranty and 24/7 customer care support, it is understood that there is nothing standing between you and your tv entertainment. The most amazing part is that your D2H recharge can be done, with the convenience of your smartphone. So, go ahead, keep the above in mind while choosing D2H for your home and enjoy the experience to the fullest.
