Also 4 HD channels ???. . . how? airtel has only NAT geo HD. They do broadcast event driven HD channels (Start cric HD, DD Sports HD) but essentially they have only one full time HD channel.

A device which has lesser features sold recently at a much higerr price -
kb10000 & myself agree , that they have a right to price based on their cost & other business dynamics (like word cup & HD launched recently)
VivR - disagrees and feels unfair

Airtel Broadband 2mbps unlimited with no fair usage policy?

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 10:21 AM PST

I have used previously Sify , Reliance, BSNL EVDO broadband services.

Since last 1 year I am using Tata BB having 386 KBPS Day and 1.5MBPS Night speed with Fair Usage Limit of 80 GB per month.

Sometimes my download reaches to 100+GB , but Tata dosen't charge me extra for this.

My torrent speed ranges between 160 to 180 KBPS in night as its 1.5MBPS from night.

I am satisfied with the speed and download limit i.e. 80-100 GB is enough for me.:smile:

now m thinking of purchasing 1TB of Seagate FreeAgent ext HDD as i have already 250 GB and 160GB full with movies and no space :cry:

Only 4000 tickets to be sold to "general public" for World Cup final

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 09:59 AM PST

Now then

World Cup 2011: Fans left without tickets as website crashes | Cricket News | ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 | ESPN Cricinfo

"A Kyazoonga spokesperson said while the surge in traffic had been expected, the site had not anticipated its scale. When ticket sales for World Cup group matches first went live on June 1, 2010, there had been no issues over server capacity. The firm had expected the demand to be several times over for the knockout games, "maybe five to ten times over but not 100." There were even people knocking at the door of the Kyazoonga offices in New Delhi asking to purchase World Cup final tickets."

@amish for you - market price from the article

"The ticket pricing at the Wankhede, according to the ICC's official ticket guide, is the most expensive across the World Cup. The price-range for the first match at the Wankhede on March 13, New Zealand v Canada, is between Rs 2500 to Rs 3750. The March 18 match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka ranges from Rs 5000 to Rs 7500. The World Cup finals tickets are priced between Rs 10,000 and Rs 15,000."

RedMoon online

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 07:20 AM PST

Redmoon Online

Platform: PC/Windows
Genre: RPG
Publisher: JCEntertainment -
Developer: World Netgames, Inc. -
Good Thing 1: Character driven MMRPG.
Good Thing 2: Nice looking character graphics
Good Thing 3: Easy to use interface.
Bad Thing 1: Isometric viewpoint sometimes blocks view.
Bad Thing 2: Mechanics much like other MMRPGs.
Summary: Redmoon Online is one of the few MMRPG's that actually focuses on role play with a story and quests to follow.

Holding out for a Hero

Redmoon Online is a massively multiplayer role playing game that takes place on two worlds, Earth and Signus, where thousands of people can be playing at the same time, interacting with each other and the central storyline in the game.

From the beginning, the backing of this story is apparent. Your on screen avatar is chosen from a cast of characters from the graphic novel series, each with their own backgrounds and goals. Once that's done, you choose the hair color and clothing style, some basic powers, and set out in the world.

Try it out and post is it laggy or something, if you have any ideas post in my forum.

How to connect coaxial cable to led tv

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 07:05 AM PST

Do you have an HT System - Home Theatre system? If not, you can only get normal stereo output thru your LED TV speakers - which you must be getting using the HDMI.

To enjoy the surround effect, you will require a home theatre system and speakers that can both decode and reproduce the surround sound for you. If you have one, then the Coaxial digital OUT from the HD Set top box will have to be connected to the coaxial digital IN on the HT Amplifier.

Recheck your title btw, those speeds are not available anywhere in the world for home users I guess
512 k Mbps = 512000 Mbps = 512 Gpbs = 64GBPS
ya,that should be kbps not mbps

Sun Direct HD - ICC World CUp in HD

Posted: 21 Feb 2011 06:19 AM PST

Not sure why Sun Direct HD is charging 13,250 (customer care rep. stated that charge was increased from 3250 to 13250 confirmed twice.) for Star Cricket HD and ESPN HD Other network like Airtel charges Rs. 150 and Tata Sky charge only RS. 50. some one has to fire them and put a case for cheating the consumers. Note. They did not telecast the World Cup football in HD but charged me RS 3000. No compensation given.

What's Your SNR Ratio and Attenuation Rates? (BSNL Broadband)

Look for 'Remote SNR Margin' if present in your Modem UI. It'll remain const. for all/most modems.

What you all are posting here is 'Local SNR Margin' which is = Remote SNR + Modem corrected/boosted SNR. It'll always vary from modem to modem. The same goes for attenuation.

Remote SNR => SNR before entering modem
Local SNR => SNR after processing in modem

Just like in Iran, Twitter may have played a major role in the successful Egyptian civil unrest against President Hosni Mubarak, but Facebook received the most coverage after the Mubarak was overthrown and Egypt limped back to normalcy. Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram reports that Jamal Ibrahim, in his twenties, has named his daughter "Facebook" Jamal Ibrahim after the social networking website.
