cost wise which is better considering if you only want to see hindi entertainment channel and FTA channels in HD? is there is some good offer for 6 month or 12 month?

Cheapest:
Buy CCCAM set top box. I personally Like gtmedia gtc. Approx 3600-4000. You get 2 year cccam. Give internet to set top box. Daily uses wont be much. Approx 9-10 mb per day only.
Downside: 1. Small cuts like 1 sec in 1 minute
2. Only SD channel, no hd. But all SD channel available.

Its perfect cheap solution for singles. But not good for family due to occasional cuts.

DTH – u can temp deactivate for max 90 days and can resume easily online which is really saver when u travel outside…local cable – difficult and need to chase them…cable works when it rains better to go cable where rains frequently..cable – they will provide local channels for free (mostly)

There was one cablewala in my area and they were great ppl and service. But after trai taxes happened, the charges became outrageous, b4 was paying 300 for all the channels but after that for 300 only 30 odd channels were available and extra charges for sony, star, etc, not to mention foreign shows channels like zee zindagi, utv world movie and another were cancelled permanently. So cost would go around 600 including weird taxes.
Got airtel dth bcz they were offering the lowest price and was happy with their service for a year.
But this year they had started charging too much!
Fed up with this nonsense.

same in my area too , i dont know but ever since this all set up box , and new trai guideline everything changed . it was better before DTH days ; i think they done it for providing a level playing field for DTH corporates

I was using Airtel for 11 years, now they only give little data. I went for Tata sky broadband with free landline unlimited plan @ 25 mbps @ 5500 for 7 months (6+1 free) ie 790 per month. And installed thop tv, watching all tv channels in good to hd quality. They are also giving 300 referral bonus to New customers if they join via existing customer. So anybody want my referral can message me for additional 300 benifit.

Please don’t take connection from DEN. Worst experience ever. Their support is pathetic. No one cares about your problem. I have 2 set top boxes from them. Both are useless so I am just using jio with my tv and watching live tv on zee5.

I think for most ppl DTH or Cable does not make sense. Nowadays OTT is gaining power. I suggest one to go for free to air DTH (popularly know as DD dish) with one time expense of 1200-2000₹. Then you can subscribe to Amazon Prime, Disney Hotstar, etc…that will be very cost effective.

You can also explore HD Antenna but channels offered are very less in India unlike US and UK. But if more and more PPL use HD anttena then many channels May opt for it. DTT tecnology.

Dont go with any local cables as you can not switch channels or stop start anytime. Dishtv and tatasky both have feature to add or delete channels of packs any time with only limitattion of 30 days if u add any new channel or pack. Along with it you can get benefits from from dishtv and tatasky of recharging 6 months/12/24 months, you willl get extra months. Along with it , you can get extra benefits from payzapp or any other wallets like payzapp offer on tatasky 15% cashback max 75 everymonth. You can also go with jio cable where you will get fibre internet + fibre jio tv with all channels, but here you have to give more almost 1000 or 1500 per month which will give you 500 gb or 1000 gb internet.
