Tata Sky Ropes In Technicolor To Produce Set-Top Box in India

Tata Sky is one of the major DTH players in the country and competes against all major operators like D2h, Airtel's Digital TV, and Dish TV. However, to strengthen its presence further in the country, Tata Sky has announced that it will develop its set-top box in partnership with Technicolor.

The set-top box will be manufactured and distributed within the country. According to the company, the shift in production will help in manufacturing and delivering the set-top boxes easily. In fact, it is expected that this will reduce the prices of all set-top boxes as the devices will be free from any import duty.
