Videocon VJE42FH 42 inch (106 cm) LED Full HD TV

Purchased this DDB tv last year (NOT via snapdeal though) and wanted to share my experiences of the same. Pros: eliminates the need for an external settopbox (however a dish still needs to be installed outside) Cons: Only 1 digital subscription provider for such tvs - videocon d2h (its pathetic believe me) The whole GUI is coupled and tailored for videocond2h ONLY; even the remote is made for d2h Consumer cannot swith to another provider; you are stuck with videocond2h for your lifetime (like tatasky etc which dont offer useless bunch of channels but provide quality services) The software is so laggy that sometimes there is no option but to switch off the tv and restart after a few seconds ( this in my opinion is due to the focus of d2h to provide quantity of channels rather than quality) Very few software updates to fix bugs on ddb tvs while the regular stb boxes from d2h get regular updates (last ddb update was on oct 2013); tv purchased in nov 2013 You have to bear with the unprofessional customer service provided by 1) Videocon tv 2) Videocon d2h providers. All the best. After those encouraging words (PUNS attached) I hope that in the near future such manufacturers would also provide GENERIC tvs which can be used for multiple digital cable providers and can contain software for that particular cable provider. Eliminating the need for a STB is a great buying USP but the TV itself needs to deliver on a day to day basis.

PRice is too high for videocon
