We bought Dish TV (the box, dish which was placed on the roof, wiring, installation and 6 months subscription ) for around 10,000/- 3 years ago for our cottage in bhurban. The quality of tv channels was amazing but the only downfall was extremely bad reception in the rain ( mini satellite dish system placed in rooms nowadays won't have that problem)
There are different sim cards available at variable costs which have all sorts of channels available. Best check on the dish tv website what u want.
For recharging your account, u need a scratch card which works just like a prepaid phone scratch card which is available from the guys who sell these systems. You can recharge your system monthly /yearly, etc.
When I got my system 3 years ago, there were no Pakistani channels available.
First calculate the cost of the system and the channel package you wish to purchase from the dish tv website. Then convert it your local currency. A lot of satellite system dealers charge way over the normal value so it's advised to check beforehand.
Ptcl smart tv is not very HD. the system is slow. It takes ages to load and a few seconds for the channels to change. The volume varies from channel to channel and you've to adjust it whenever you change channels. Pretty annoying. But then it has loads of channels like discovery turbo (its car channel 24/7) and BBC knowledge (regularly has top gear). You need ptcl Internet connection (with phone line) for it to work.
