UPDATED: Tata Sky Launches HD PVR Set Top Box for Rs. 3,999

15 Feb, 2011, 3:15 pm IST | by Siddharth Basrur |

HD content is not exactly abundant in our lovely country, but Tata has decided to give us a little bit more than we already have. OK, so they’re not really launching any new HD channels, but at least they’re giving us the option to record HD content now. Tata has just announced that their Tata Sky HD PVR set top box will be launched soon. This set top box will have a storage space of 500 GB and will feature all the HD channels that are currently on Tata Sky’s roster such as National Geographic.

HD recording at your service

This new set top box will definitely be a blessing to those who don’t want to miss out on their precious HD content, as they can now be recorded. I’m hoping that more channels are launched soon though. The rest of the world has been watching a wide variety of content in HD for a long time now and there are even talks of some pretty cool 3D channels being launched soon. It seems like we’re almost always the last to get all the cool stuff. Why should we be made to feel like neglected step children? This is really frustrating and I really do hope that it changes soon, as regular TV is getting a little drab.

The Tata Sky HD PVR set top box is priced at Rs. 3,999

Update:
In Addition to the regular channels,�

TataSky has also launched Actve Sportsin lieu of the ICC World Cup 2011. This will give you the option to:

Watch the entire match from camera angle of your choice
View & Record Matches in High Definition
Get highlights on-demand anytime during the match
Commentary in Gujarati or Bengali in addition to Hindi and English
