😌

I am very disappointed with the recent customer support experience. I contacted Tata Play Customer Care regarding a channel refresh issue and spent almost 30 minutes on the call. I provided all required details, including the set-top box number and card information, and followed multiple instructions to restart the device. However, the issue was not resolved.

After disconnecting the call, I contacted my local dealer, from whom I purchased the setup. They refreshed the service, and it started working immediately within seconds.

This has caused unnecessary inconvenience and wasted my valuable time. I request better technical support efficiency to ensure customers do not face such issues in the future.

Tata Play

Most irritating DTH. One of the worst Apps that a man with common sense comes across in his life time.

Worst DTH

I am extremely disappointed with the service provided by Tata Play. I raised a complaint regarding a network issue, which occurred despite normal weather conditions (no rain or thunder). Instead of resolving the actual issue, your technician claimed that my set-top box was old and replaced it with a new one. However, without informing me, you continued the services on the old box and started charging me for both the old and new boxes. This is completely unfair and unacceptable. I never requested multiple connections, and I was not told about any additional charges or dual billing. I request that the charges for the old box be reversed immediately and that the old service be deactivated without any penalty. I expect a prompt resolution and refund for the incorrect charges

Extremely Disappointed – Misleading Promises and No Refund!

I’ve had a very disappointing experience with Tata Play DTH. At the time of taking the subscription, I was clearly told that I would receive a refund upon surrendering the set-top box and dish. However, now that I’m cancelling my subscription, I’m being informed that no refund will be provided, despite returning the equipment in good condition.

This is completely misleading and unethical. If refund terms have changed, why wasn’t I informed earlier? Or was this just false assurance given to close the sale? Either way, this reflects extremely poor customer service and a lack of transparency.

Tata Play used to be known for its trustworthiness, but this experience has changed my perception completely. I do not recommend Tata Play to anyone who expects honesty and fair treatment.

Extremely Disappointed

Extremely Disappointed with Tata Sky – Fraudulent Service and Zero Accountability

I am absolutely appalled by the disgraceful service and blatant irresponsibility shown by Tata Sky. A recharge was made over a month ago, and the amount was successfully debited from my account. Yet, to this day, the service has not been activated, and the recharge is not reflecting on my subscription ID.

When I contacted Tata Sky’s so-called customer support, I was shockingly told that the recharge was never made and was advised to “go check with your bank.” Such a dismissive and lazy response is unacceptable for a company of this scale.

After verifying the issue with my bank, I was informed that the transaction was successfully completed, and the amount was credited to Tata Play’s beneficiary account (HDFC Bank). This confirms that the fault lies entirely with Tata Sky, not the bank.

So now, not only have I been deprived of the service I paid for, but I am also being forced to run pillar to post between Tata Sky and the bank, with no resolution in sight. This is nothing short of financial negligence and reeks of scam-like behavior. The way this has been handled is completely unprofessional and unethical.

Tata Sky needs to be held accountable for this fiasco. I demand an immediate resolution, a refund or activation of services, and a formal apology for the time wasted and the mental agony caused.

Avoid Tata Sky unless you want to be robbed of your money and left helpless by a support team that doesn’t care.

Auto-Add Channels and Hidden Charges

TATA Play has proven to be a disappointment with its lack of transparency and inefficient processes. Channels are auto-added to the package without any prior customer consent or notification, significantly increasing the costs. These channels often come with a "lock period," making them impossible to remove, forcing users to pay for unwanted services. For example, a single channel costs ₹60 per month, inflating the original package price of ₹250, which already covers 100+ channels.

The situation is further aggravated by poor customer service. When I first installed their service, I provided my Aadhaar card as proof, but they mistakenly entered a name resembling a female pronunciation. This mismatch creates endless problems whenever I need to verify my identity with customer support. Despite explaining the situation and providing the correct name, I was charged an additional ₹200 just to modify their error! This is both unfair and unethical.

TATA Play urgently needs to improve its processes—ensure prior consent for channel additions, remove unnecessary restrictions, and provide a seamless way for customers to rectify errors caused by their own team. Until then, I cannot recommend their services.

Waste Management

No need this set up box please

Lousy App

Unable to view my channels live. App tries to force the user to add more channels. Most frustrating indeed to use the the app.

The Binge Upgrade Set up Box - Appalling

I opted for the upgraded Binge box in Tata Play because I was told that it has a previous 7 days recording available for some programmes. I subsequently called the Customer Card for details regarding this option. I was totally shocked to find that all of them had no clue about the feature. Further, this ‘upgrade’ does not have the pause feature and no rewind and forward features either. I then wanted to go back to my earlier HD box with recording but I was told that the option of downgrading was not available!! I tried very hard and spoke several times to their escalation team but got the same answer. I am extremely disappointed with Tata Play and their lack of any commitment towards their customers, their lack of professionalism- where they have introduced a product without understanding its features- and when a frustrated, long term customer calls with an issue, to totally reject the customer’s simple desire to go back to the previous version. I am surprised Tata Play is a Tata Company.
