Rivals...

NetFlix - Rs 500/Month :fearscream:
Prime - Rs.499 per year. :yum:
Hotstar - Rs.199 per month. :wink:
Eros Now - Rs 99 per month. :neutral:


Also in the above pic, BigFlix Per year charges are way too high probably for International market.
 
Why the discrepancy between monthly and yearly rates? Why would anyone go for yearly then?

50 bucks is way too cheap. If this works out then it would be awesome.
 
I've bought 2-3 DVD sets from Amazon made by Reliance Digital. Quality was absolute crap. I saw interlaced video on a video showing up as 726p and having 50fps. Other video had a totally bluish tint to it. Some videos were burnt using Windows software. After this I stopped buying any DVDs with mastered by Reliance written on them.

good to see Im not alone in going through that torture.
 
Indian companies don't give a F. I tried yupp tv for a month and the quality of live channels is horrible. It was like looking at channels through a smudged telescope in a dark room
