In Kerala I don'y see any reason to move to other DTH, we are getting all grequired channels in Sun Direct, for a general customer/viewer.
Areas other than Cities, it's difficult to get services like purchase/renew any other DTH other than Sun Direct and Dish Tv.
I can see Sun Direct recharge centres in villages too. The second choice after SD is BIG tv which got 13 Malayalam channels, but it's not available in rural areas to purchase. I cannot compare Dish TV and SD, Dish Tv is not bad, but it got less Malayalam Channels and it's in MPEG2. But, areas other than India, yes..the availability is a problem. What to do...

Looks like a genuine and unique problem. Haven't heard about such a problem till date. How's the signal strength? 100%? 50%?
Email your circle's nodal officer at once. I'm sure they'll fix it.

Change your 110BX1's power adapter or best - get a USB power cable. That should hopefully fix it.

you can try to use any other download manager there are many out there like flashget or free download manager but suspect if any of them will help in your case if you have frequent disconnect problem with MTNL.

VOIP with Broadband

Posted: 14 Oct 2010 10:09 AM PDT

The best way for you to talk is using your computer. Right now, almost all of the software for audio chat is mature enough for you to have a very pleasant overall experience. You can use any of the following: Google Talk (this is my favorite), Yahoo Messenger or Skype.

Second option is to ask your brother to send you a VOIP adapter from either phonepower.com or Ooma.com or Vonage.com With Ooma there is only one time payment and you don't have to pay them again. With Vonage, you can make unlimited calls around the world for about $30/month. Once you get the adapter, all you have to do is just plug them into your router and you can start making/receiving unlimited calls to/from US.

Third option is to get a VOIP adapter like Linksys PAP2 (usually it costs about $50 or Rs. 3000 to Rs. 4000 in India) and manually configure it to receive calls from US or anywhere else in the world. Your brother can make unlimited calls to you and you don't have to pay a penny. But this solution is only for experienced users for are adept at VOIP and SIP concepts and it would not fit really well in your situation.

I think it is best for you to try to use first and second option.
