Sep 22: India’s second largest television network, Sun TV has announced to introduce its own Direct-to-Home service to provide the better display in free of cost. The users have to pay Rs. 990 one time as an activation charges. Users has another option to pay the charges on monthly basis that will be Rs. 75 per month for 75 channels includes 20 regional channels of the four southern states and 15 FM channels per month.
The Sun TV group is owned by Maran brothers-Kalanidhi Maran and Dayanidhi Maran, who is also the owner of Sumangali Cable Vision. Sun TV is the most popular television network in South India that is going to introduce DTH service from Sep 21, 2007 as official announced.
Maran brothers have announced in media that the earlybirds would be given free antennas and set top boxes and only they have to pay for the activation fee. The subscribers can also choose the option of monthly installment. Sun Direct is a 80:20 joint venture between Sun TV’s group and Malaysia-based Astro Group.
“This DTH has launched to break the monopoly of the Sumangali Cable Vision network, the largest cable network of Tamil Nadu” that is owned by Union Minister Dayanidhi Maran as TN government said.
On the other hand, Sun TV group official has said, “Tamil Nadu is a test market for us to offer DTH service. The offer (Rs75 for 75 channels) is only in Tamil Nadu. We want to see how this package works.”
While, the 50,000 big cable TV operators in Tamil Nadu are strongly protesting the newly DTH as they have to face the problems of their livelihood. They are also asking the government to increase the luxury tax on Sun Group's DTH equipment.
Managing Director of SCV and Union Minister Dayanidhi Maran has asked the operators to provide written complain to the government to took step against DTH service providers, but the operators refused to do so, saying it was the duty of the Sun TV group, with whom they had been doing business for the past many years, to protect their interests.

May 18, 2008 at 12:00 AMI am a subscriber of sun direct being my smart card No.40247146448 putup at Alwarthiru nagar, Valasaravakkam, Chennai 600 086. Due to heavy wind like cyclone with heavy showers lasted for 20 minutes on 12th May, 2008 at about 7 pm which resulted the dish got changed its position/alignment. Since then, making a number of calls to customer care, it is about 8 to 9 days past, nobody from sun direct bothers to set right my problem and they are shifting their customer resposibilty to others. We are senior citizens and kindly advice us what could be without tv entertainment at this age and this is the way how sun direct loots subscribers by the way of recharge in advance without service and will the sun direct reimburse for days lost without tv entertainment. My validity expires on 27th May 2008, and I am not sure whether it will be renewed or go for Tata sky whose services are far better. Please advice. JP

December 16, 2007 at 12:00 AMSir,
It is our pleasure to know that Sun Net Work has, now, started DTH Services. We were really eagarly awaiting for that moment of time. Presently, we are using Dish TV DTH. Even though the quality of Dish TV is good, its very expensive for comman people or middle class people to afford it. It will be highly appreciable if DTH rates are made reachable to one and all. As we live outside Tamilnadu (Mysore) we often denied the sun Net work services whenever there is a political/socialogical disturbances between the states. Our hearty congratulation for SUN TV for all sucess in DTH services too. We want to know whether the set top box we are using for Dish TV can be used (of course after necessary decoding) for SUN TV DTH with some fee. If so, it will definitely be helpful and boon for those who have already using other DTH services and willing to shift over to SUN TV DTH.

October 9, 2007 at 12:00 AMI suggest Sun-TV starts DTH with subscribers in the U.S.A. instead of thru Regional Networks.
Why is it that Sun-TV does not have international TV program control, and instead plays around.
These days and for quite some months now the broadcasts are interupted, noisy in between, and the 'Performing Artists' themselves are 'Out Of Control', and perform like free for all whatever. Its just not acceptable.
Union Minister - Mr. Dayanidthi Maran is outstanding in his accomplishments on the Indian - Front and 'International Stage'. This is being undermined sadistically.
We expect Sun-TV provides 'As-Equal Quality and Control' as other Satelite TV providers / Programs.
We wish Sun-TV and the 'Marans' all success.
Alexanders / U.S.A.
