Chandrayan 1 and DD coverage

Woke up early on a weekday morning (6 AM) in spite of watching a movie till 1.30AM...to witness the launch of India's first lunar mission the Chandrayan 1. Felt nice and proud that we have our own shuttle, which will plant a Tri Color on moon.

The launch went perfectly and it was nice watching the coverage on NDTV and CNN IBN....but the disappointing thing about the whole coverage was that all the channels were getting live video feed from ...guess who....DD National. The feeds that DD was giving was so pathetic that I started doubting was it really worth the effort to wake up at 6 and watch this piss poor coverage. I was so outraged and disgusted....I mean for a national channel, of the nation which can venture to the moon.....it shuldnt be that difficult to do a quatily coverage of such a significant moment in the nations technical history!!!

Seriously DD should....in the intrest of the nation discontinue service....every thing in that coverage was ridiculous....from the technical aspects like white balance and sharpness to the asthetic aspects like commentary.

Wish I could do something about it.
