"In a country where cricket is nothing short of a religion, Tata Sky will immensely enrich the experience of cricket aficionados by offering them the highly anticipated sporting extravaganza on HD," said Harit Nagpal, CEO, Tata Sky. "This offer [for Tata Sky + HD] will be a sure fire hook shot among the subscribers with a promise to bowl them over with the ultimate viewing experience."Meanwhile, Airtel Digital TV, which will also offer subscribers coverage of the Cricket World Cup in HD, claims over 15% of its new customer additions in the top metro markets have been signing up for its HD service. "With the World Cup taking place in India this time and with India expected to reach the latter stages of the tournament, we expect the purchase of HD televisions to register a quantum leap," said a spokesman for Airtel Digital TV.

Our economy sports pack offers Indian cricket right up to September; we have a tie-up with Sony for their Bravia range of flat panel TVs; and we have launched a new TV campaign, " he added.
