Hathway Hyderabad has reduced the HD pricing to 5500/yr inclusive of box+subscription. At present 8 HD channels are available (Ten HD being the only sports channel).

When I had visited earlier, they had 9. Don't know which one went off now.

Congo! Certainly a good thing. Whenever I search on Google and get such links (with authors image on the left) I immediately open them as they are trustworthy and I find them certainly helpful. Good move there, Sushubh! :Boy Thumb Up:

I am not using any pw or proxy in the apn settings, just only gprsppsmum. I tried again just now with ppshsdpa and pps3g but no luck. :(

Some people are saying that we need to get hsdpa activated separately to get more than 0.36 mbps download on mumbai sim in delhi. Have you done anything to get it activated or was it pre-activated on mumbai sim?

Nice review by you. Actually they are right in few manner about cost of DVR. They dont provide External / Internal HDD it means they minus it's cost from DVR price. Its depend on customer with which capacity of external drive they want to continue somewhere its good option for customers. U r right that it should be always attatch to the box if any customer keep any recording safe. If customer replace / deattach plugged drive all recording will be useless & cant reaccess in the future. Thats also demerit.

I didnt get you clearly but unlimited recording means it depend on customer with which size they use for HDD recording. Its their choice it called unlimited recording. Other disspointed thing is u cant play recording except same box which u recorded content from. You cant remove drive otherwise u lost all recordings. The box always format when you attach any drive newly to the box. Means u can just once attach drive to the box & content can be available whenever u dont remove the drive.

What is issue 50 minutes? Doesnt it depend on customer's choice? Clear it plz. Thanks.

Well, the app itself is called battery calibrator. It deletes the battery stats file so that the system doesn't report incorrect battery stats. It, however requires root access.
The best solution to increase battery life would be to install a custom kernel which under clocks/volts the processor.
