Dish TV HD Upgrade Pricing It is worth noting that with the increased adaptation of HD TVs and with most of the subscribers now switching to HD, a lot of the subscribers on SD Set-Top Boxes are also going to want to switch to HD connections from Dish TV. For this, the older price for upgrading from the SD Set-Top Box was Rs 799, but now the subscribers of Dish TV will have to pay Rs 200 more, that is now the Dish TV HD upgrade will set back the subscribers by Rs 999. When the subscribers get an HD upgrade for their connection, then they would get a visit from the Dish TV representative who will set up the new HD Set-Top Box at their home. Not only this, but the subscribers would also get an HD connection of their currently subscribed channel pack under this upgrade for one month.
