What if my TV is far from the terrace where the dish will be mounted?
The standard pack includes 8 metres of coaxial cable. If your TV is farther, additional cable costs approximately ₹8–12 per metre extra. Our technician will measure the required cable length during the site visit and inform you of any extra cost before starting work.

Do I need to be home during installation?
Yes, someone should be home to give access to the terrace or installation location, verify channel quality, and make payment. The technician will coordinate timing with you via WhatsApp before arriving.
Is there a warranty on the installation?
Yes. There is a 1-year warranty on the set-top box (manufacturer warranty) and a 6-month warranty on the installation work (dish, cable and mounting). Any installation-related issues within 6 months are resolved at no charge.
