The set-top box provided by the cable operator hasn’t got much difference compared to the earlier cable connection. They provide set-top box services as the government has made them mandatory. But, we have to deal with issues such as poor connection and poor service. We do not have the flexibility to choose the packs. In the set-top box offered by various DTH service providers, we get the option to choose the channels. We can upgrade or downgrade our plans as per the need. The picture quality is far better than the one offered by the cable TV operator.
