Finally we can view HD channels. I always wondered what is the point of buying HD TVs, Ultra HD , Super Ultra HD and 4K Tvs in Pakistan when you can't watch any decent channel in native HD. Good they should offer some decent HD packages and let customers build their own package with some decent pricing and they will make huge profits.

I am not sure if they will offer stable high speed internet at least (20 MBPS +), would be icing on cake.
