Great NOMONO,
I am really happy that you raised all three points I have already pointed to Dish TV consumer cell.
1. You know last month when I kept calling Dish TV to find a permanent solution to my problem, the background advt. was 'Hera Pheri' Aur 'Phir Hera Pheri' of Dish TV. I felt they we...re playing that to give the consumer idea about business model of Dish TV i.e. cheat consumers & make more money.
2. I totally agree that a person like Shahrukh Khan should stop promoting for an unethical company like Dish TV. I believe we can make a request to Shahrukh blog & advise him not to get bad publicity by associating with such a bad company like Dish TV. Anyway many in business circle know Dish TV is Zee group & how they make money.
3. Every time you make a complaint they say 'realignment is the problem' That was quoted even after one of Dish TV sent Technician visited me at home & clearly told alignment is not the problem and LMB is not working properly. This is the 3rd time LMB failed in 13 months.
GOD SAVE DISH TV CONSUMERS. I WISH THE COMPANY GOES BANKRUPT SOONER THAN LATER. THAT IS FROM MY HEART AND SUBASH CHANDRA ALSO KNOWS HOW BAD IT IS TO CHEAT CONSUMERS FOR THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY

wHY 29, it is just the start with Dish TV. In 13 months of being a Dish TV consumer, my antenna has alignment problem has occured 5 times, signals going without any reason is a daily affair, My LMB changed 2 times already and I have been told again for 3rd time to change LMB (remember it is chargabl...e Rs. 350 each time + Visit Charges Rs. 170-250 depending on how much technician can fleece you). And customer service is something that adds to misery. Dealers claims go to Dish TV direct if you ask him why he is overcharging. They call you suddenly and say their technician is at your home & why are you not? And they bother to fix time to visit you before hand. And when you tell when you would be home specially for him, he doesnot appear at all and would claim three days later telling he is going to visit.
I really feel bad about an ethical brand promoter like Shahrukh khan, & really irritates me when he appears in TV to claim 'Wish Karo Dish Karo'

I think both Tata Sky & Dish TV are alike. I have Dish TV and their executives are also charging and making money. In last 1 year 2 LMB changed & now in 13th month, they claim this one has also gone bad. So I am asked to pay Rs. 350 for changing LMB + Rs. 170 for visit charges though my complaint wa...s registered during warranty but complaint closed without actual settlement. I think both are useless. Cable TV guy atleast can be caught held of and settlement done but in case of either Dish TV or Tata Sky nobody of department seems to take any responsibility. They are useless people & actually technically backwards and dont know a single thing. A supervisor of Dish TV with 3 technicians actually visited my house on special request made by me but couldnot even find reason of low signal and frequent fault of LMB but they claimed that as my Dish TV is on roof & bears heat, dust, and rain thus there are high chances of equipment failure in call cases.
MY QUESTION TO SUPERVISOR WAS 'does he want to fix the dish inside the house' & what would happen to far areas/ mountain areas if they claim such thing for a city like Chennai
I Live in Chennai which anyway has very low rainfall & not much windy. I have a written comment from the supervisor on my bill saying the dish TV would work when it would be raining.

Beware of ICICI Lombard
It is just a start. IJust see how they would preform in future. Related to premium claims or renewal of policies. Their help line no. 1800---- is useless. When you have to enquire or complain, just keep listening to the stupid music as you call is bounced across departments ...and later disconnected but when you claim you want to buy a new policy everyone gets so curtageous & nice & get ready to service.
I myself carry 2 Family Floater plans but am thinking of shifting to more ethical companies which are service oriented. Other companies like Reliance Health, Star Health offer similar Family policies, at much lower premium rates. At least you are not dealt with stupid team like ICICI Lombard. I have 12 complaint no's which they show settled at their end when you check status of complaint. While at same time as per you the settlement or query is not really answered. and Chat or email or grievience cell are just for marketing gimmicks because you dont check when you buy when you really need them they all vanish or dont work.

I know particularly ICICI team is really great at some things. Show them you money, they run after you and are ready to do anything, but just query them after rules, policies, issues, ethics, they say not their job, They are just pick pocketers to extract money and not as service company.

Beware - All companies like Star Health; Reliance Health Insurance offer similar Family Floater products. Reliance one is very low premium in comparison to ICICI Lombard. You would get a feel when you renew after 2nd year and they would give no claim bonus not on the last year premium amount but the... basic amount. So no discounts after 2nd year, And dont get carried away by the nice talks, They would should you their real reptile colours after 1-2 years when you actually understand, whether they were being nice or just extracting money. I send them 20 emails; 15 calls to consumer cell; besides asking for explaination through their online chat. Everytime it failed. & to add to misery is that none of email for grievience redressal page for complaint to so called managers. g.m's or anything works. It says come later .Read More
