cable vs dth service

We had been using cable tv from asianet for many years. Initially it was for one tv and the cost was around Rs.180/- which was later increased to around 200 rupees.
They had introduced a set top box and digital service. But we did not change over to that.
Then we asked them for an extra connection for another tv which increased the charge to around 285 rupees. The only problem was that now and then some of the english channels like star world,some sports channels etc would just disappear for some months .

Then the age of dth channels came around with doordarshan dth service ddinews.gov.in, dish tv dishtv.in , tata sky tatasky.com airtel dth airtel.in, suntv dth sundirect.in etc.

We opted for tata sky in addition to the cable service .
We selected the package which consisted of most of the south indian channels, sports channels , english movie channels, music channels etc. In those days there were also radio channels from all india radio on tata sky.
But after a few days the radio channels just disappeared from tata sky.
Then one by one most of the sports channels and some other channels started to be moved into other packages for which the subscriber had to pay extra money. Most of the repackaging of sports channels would happen when there was some cricket match or series likely to be watched by indians.

and the still shorter 20 over a side 20-20.

in the old days test cricket played in india was usually shown live on doordarshan
but after large scale commercialisation, it shifted to private pay channels like star sports
soon after espn came into the picture
after that many other sports channels like ten sports, star cricket, zee sports channel, neo sports have come up.
even some channels like set max and sahara which usually show so called hindi serials/ films etc have to subscribed to if you want to watch some of the cricket matches

south africa win cricket series 2-0 against australia

south africa have won the cricket test series against australia 2-0 by winning the boxing day test match at MCG on 30/12/2008, by 9 wickets.

This is australia's first home test series loss in nearly 16 years.

In this match australia seemed to be carrying some players who had injuries and some who were out of form.

The fall of aussie cricket team seems to have started at the beginning of the year when they lost the perth test against india (even though australia won that series 2-1) . Perth was the last place anyone expected india to beat the australians . In the CB one day series also , India easily defeated the aussies 2-0 in the best of three finals.
