D2h and Dish TV Set up Free Service Camps for Subscribers in Cyclone Affected Areas

Cyclone FANI, which hit the shores of India through Orissa, wreaked havoc in the country and caused fatal losses in the states it touched. The cyclone took a turn towards West Bengal the next day and continued to claim damages well ahead in the week. Although now the cyclone has calmed down after entering further into the continent, the authorities are still staying ahead with the task of disaster management to streamline basic services like network, electricity and more in the region. Previously, we had reported about Reliance Jio and Airtel who had set up war camps. But, the disaster has also caused losses to companies as many networks have gone bust after the calamity, meaning a hit for DTH operators.

The Direct to Home provider, Dish TV India is setting up camps in Orissa to restore DTH connectivity which was massively affected after the cyclone hit the shores. In these free service camps, Dish TV and D2h technicians will repair and restore the damaged set-top boxes and other devices like the outdoor unit dish free of cost. The service provider has set up numerous such service camps across all of Orissa where it will be providing the servicing without any cost to the subscribers. It is worth noting that the cyclone has uprooted a lot of trees in the region, even claimed lives and caused massive loss to public property and as such there are bound to be subscribers who have faced broken outdoor units and set-top boxes. Dish TV’s new effort in this time seem to be focused on the consumers solely.
