What I do on the weekend? Groceries, meet ups, over eating and travelling.

What I want to do on the weekend? Watch some good TV!

There is no feeling like kicking back in front of the TV at the end of a long day and giving yourself a daily dose of amazing TV time. It really is one of the best stress busters that I have in a very regular and common world. It keeps me up to date with all that is happening around the world and also ensures I get to watch my favourite bits of entertainment. If you had to think of buying a DTH connection today, there would be quite a few things you would have to consider before you make that purchase. More importantly, how would you know which HD set top box to buy? Well, here is a comparison of common set top boxes that come with the providers and which would suit you best.

-        The first and simplest connection you can take is a HD set top box which gives you pretty much gives you all that you’d ever need. Dish HD+ is a popular option mainly because of the unlimited recording feature that other DTH providers do not give (or charge for). You can pretty much record as much of live Tv as you would like thanks to the DTH HD recorder set top box. So, the next time you are not able to catch your favourite show or sporting activity, just record it and catch it as soon as you are back. So, if you are looking for a HD recorder set top box that gives you unlimited recording, event recording, recording on standby and time based recording, you would have to go with Dish+, it is hands down one of the best products that is present in the market.

-        Apart from this, Dish HD+ gives you over 60 HD channels and gives you the option to choose SD packs only, Tata Sky & Airtel don’t have this feature.

-        One of the most important features that you should look at when you are buying a set top box with recorder is the remote that you would use for your viewing. It is may sound trivial, but having a single to control your TV and your set top box is absolute bliss. As of now, just a handful of players provide the universal remote – DishTV being one of them. Yes, no more two remotes to deal with.

-        Dish TV HD recharge packages are also more affordable than Tata or Airtel and can be easily picked and chosen as per your wish. I was quite keen on a sports package when I took my connection and it took just half a day to get my connection working.

By choosing the right set top box, you are open to a whole new world when it comes to movies, news and sports, not only would you be able to get options on entertainment that suit your whole family, but you would also be able to enjoy the benefits of hi-definition in the comfort of your home.
