Digit Patron Helpdesk: Everything you wanted...

[Aries]

The June Special Edition is going to cost Rs.200/- or more. It is also a Special 5th Anniversary Issue. Therefore instead of 20 points, I think we should get extra points

Like its 5th Anniversary so 50 Points

What Say?

[E.T.]

Great idea. Should be implemented.

[drsethi]

Please give old copies of SKOAR for Digit Patron programme

[Red_Baron]

I have a few suggestions:

1. Please display the number of points a subscriber has BEFORE he/she enters the code. This way we can find out if there is a problem in the database system or are the points really being added.

2. Please make some arrangement that the subscribers can book future issues using the points.

[aryayush]

Please give old copies of SKOAR for Digit Patron programmeI like this suggestion. Maybe the more recent ones! :D

I second these suggestions. Would be nice if implemented

[sandeepkochhar]

I think that the people maintaining Digit Patron are real pachyderms. No matter what people say they are not going to give it an ear. The Digit Patron program was started as a marketing stunt by Jasubhai. This was a period when Chip was just launched and Jasubhai people were facing stiff competetion. So in order to gain loyality they started this **** called Digit Patron. I have nearly 250 points and I didn't find a single gift worth redeeming. I suggest (though I know it will not be listened as always) to stop this bull**** right now. My last hope of Digit Patron's upgradation is vanished with June 06 anniversary. If they r not upgrading the gifts now they'll never do that. STOP FOOLING PEOPLE. You are already overpriced @Rs125/- with 150/- and 200/- tags in b/w for special editions.

[raval_manoj]

Dear rohit & sandip - I totally agree with both of you.
Current patron scheme is not good at all, and items available for loyal readers need to be changed. Some hardware items should be there in place of unwanted back issues of various mags, or latest encyclopedia - game cds etc

My digit subscription ends this month. I received reminder to renew, but now I'm not going to renew my subscription any more because of such type of cheating.

[shashank_digitreader]

hey i got a code in the last page of digit magazine saying gifts can be won. so where do i type these codes

[redhat]

Just one question to Digit Patrol Helpdesk.

Why are subscribers not getting automatic credit for patron? I feel that is something so obvious. Secondly, that will also stop one menace. There are a few newsstand owners who subscribe and then sell the copies in open market. No one bothers to read the words "subscriber copy, not for sale". If such copies do not have patron codes, no one will buy them!!

Any answers?

This will stop people from buying subscriber copies. If the member is registered, just add their points automatically. The code will still be there in the copies for the newsstand. Please do this. Good request by tuxfan.

A desperate change is req. in the digit patron gifts secton. No one wants old issues of digit and Skoar. Better offer original software with the consent of the distributors. Even hardware stuff will do great.

[wizrulz]

The thread has been started in dec 2004 ...nos of replies to 14 pages suggestions/request ...we can say nearly nil....so what r all expecting form such thread.....even 1 suggestion being implemented.......????
THIS thread itself is BIG joke on members
It has croosed 14 pages and howmany replies form DIGIT hardly 5...everyone is shouting suggestions any replies ...no..some of ur suggestion r good ..which i had suggested to digit patron section mailing them....still no improvment...suggestion r good if atleast a thou8 is gevn over them...but i am sorry to say that....DIGIT sleeps over such threads.....
It was told to me by one of mods when i tried to highlight some poinst wrt digit patron that mods cannot do anything ..digit admin should look after it...so how many time digit admin have gone thru this thread and replied to queries and suggestions????

[SE><IE]

with all the earlier digit issues available as the pdf's. i feel there is no use in redeeming my points for that. Moreover they dont have any DVD (just 2 plain CDs each).

And yes... once the digit guys gave me a faulty cd/dvd (april 2005). I asked for replacement at least 5 times. The reply "we have dispatched it" but it never arrived. (I wrote 2 times after this.. 3 times earlier).

hell I wasted my 100 Rs for a scrap paper (duh)

Sorry to go off-topic but I'm pissed off :(

[sameer_pur]

First Of All-
Remove all the current 20 gifts from the list.These Are not of any use.
Beside them provide hardware gifts,skoar issues etc.

[Raaabo]

@ Wizrulz: You need to calm down a bit. Breathe in, breathe out... repeat forever... :)

What do you want? A reply for every post? Should I start replying to every post acknowledging that I have read it? Would you really like to see a post from me after every member's post... saying "I have read your post"? [I could set up a script to do this you know :)]

There are thousands of members on here and just 3 or 4 Digit employees on the forum, obviously we will post a lot less than members...

Mods are NOT employees of Digit or JDM, so PMing them about issues regarding the magazine is a waste of your time as well as theirs. Please contact fatbeing or Raaabo for Digit related issues.


@ everyone:
We're working on better patron gifts. Things take time. Remember that this is a bonus that NO OTHER MAGAZINE will give you. You buy other mags you just get the mag. you subscribe to other mags, you get a chance to win something as crappy as a graphics card or a computer table. At digit we've given people the chance to win Cars, bikes and other cool things. We're not perfect, and our patron gifts are not the talk of the town or anything, but they ARE FREE!

We'll make them better as time goes by, and we're sure you'll like the gifts then.

For those of you who are not entering their codes because they dont like the current set of gifts... what will you do when we change the gifts and you find yourself short by 200 points -- which you have already earned, had you only entered your code regularly?

Write in to help at jasubhai dot com if you face problems entering your code.

Raaabo

[Chirag]

^^
Gfx Card. Which mag?????????

[wizrulz]

yeah now i am calm as u have replied(atleast after a week ;) ).....but if we keep on shouting suggestions and troubles here and if no one is replying how we r gona know if its falling on deaf ears..????
Atleast u can do is keep us posted the progress or ur thought process on which ur working so that if we find anything wrong (acc to our view) then we can suggest..isnt it?
There r thousands of members but..are thousnads of members replying to this SPECIAL thread???
Abt PM to mods...i agree i PMed mods..sorry for that..but just ask fatbeing if i had not Pm'ed him abt this??? So i am not completely at fault.....
Yeah we all agree this a bonus...but then it should had been helpful for whom u have started this ...that is the digit regular buyers or i can say SUBCRIBERS.....the aim was to reward the subscribers..isnt it(u can always deny this).....but the same subscribers when suggesting nothing is said that yes this is beeing implemented or is in process. >> liek auto entering the patron points for members(read subcribers) etc......
Ya waiting for teh gifts to get good...hope one day i will redeem my points

One more thing the link form digit patron site to this forum doesnt works :) ;)

AND YES I EXPECT A REPLY :p

[vijay_7287]

i have redeemed this book on photoshop.. twice over with something like 100 points ... but stiil it didnt reach me .. how sad !!!:mad:

the first time i did it in the 1st week of december last year:shock:

and then some time back in june this year ... and guys have stiil kept me waitin !!!:mad:

[coolendra]

Guys... plz change the gifts... they have become so outdated... plz

[Raaabo]

No Digit Patron is NOT for subscribers only, and NOT for newstand buyers only. It's called patron because we want to reward regular readers of the magazine, doesn't matter whether you subscribe an get it for cheaper or pay more every month and buy it from a newsstand... It's quite simply our humble way of thanking our "Patrons". We will try and improve upon gifts soon, perhaps we need sponsors to help make the gifts better, and it is all being worked upon.

Raaabo

[tuxfan]

But how about giving automatic credits to subscribers? They are the regular readers anyway! It sounds logical! :p Doesn't it?

[wizrulz]

I am now calm..but digit people need to be on there toes....

I had reported in this same thread abt forum link not working from the patron site...which i guess ur reading regulary.. :p

'We're sorry, but we were unable to find the page you requested.'

Now i can understand digit poeple r so busy improving digit quality that they do nothave time to respond to there own customer queries and also to look after there PATRON site.

I reported abt the link not working on 18th june adn today is 3rd August....(total abt 15days...oh somany days and no repair :( )
Setting a script for reply is easy ..as u told me ...do at least that now.....

Sorry if i am sounding a bit rude ...but when u want a thing to improve adn if everthing is falling on deaf ears then its bound to get such a reaction...

[ArZuNeOs]

guys i juz saw a gift a LOR DVD for 240 points......I got a doubt

Which version is it I or II or III

Or A bundle

Plz verify those Plzzzzzzz.....If interesting I can have it...SO :-)

[Techie_Geek]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally a long long awaited change in the gifts section

Yeah that's a great choice giving out collectable CDs and DVDs which everyone would want to collect rather than old issues which we subscribers already have

It will be great if u give additional product info with the CDs and DVDs

This way it is easier to choose .

One more thing, Should I ask for two gifts at once or one after another

I earlier redeemed a skoar issue which took ages to reach me

guys i juz saw a gift a LOR DVD for 240 points......I got a doubt

Do the National Geographic CD featured in gifts section is the same as this one ?

gud to see some new gifts are added in the patron section

but there is also a need for regular delivery of the gifts to the customers

as i said before i requested a magazine on May 15 and i didnt received it till now!

so u should care abt such things in future that a customer should get the gift in time!

[Digit Patron Helpdesk]

Mr.Neeraj,

Lets see how much time it takes..
Anybody who has redeemed a new gift and received it.. ??

I feel very good when I see the new gifts in Digit Patron program. The gifts are like that we need some of them. What do you think memers?

[~Phenom~]

Finally I got my patron gift today.It was digit tech encyclopedia.
But now when I have checked the gift, I can safely say that it sucks big time and I wasted my points.

[rajivnedungadi]

Hey Guys...

Last month I forgot to enter the patron code (for september). How can i do that now? :-o

If your computer had an issue, you can try a system restore to restore your system to a previous date but with digit patron, even that is not possible...in short, you cant enter the previous months patron code

[gauravjain20]

Hi, thanks. Don't you think that's injustice to the subscribers with the only "limited/,meagre resources" which the subscriber's get!!!???

What's wrong if they allow to enter previous month's codes. What they want to prove?

Incredibly horrible stuff..... I don't have words to describe such a service.

Really.

I'am upset that once my subscription had ended Digit closed my Digit Patron Account along with my unredeemed points.TOO BAD.Anyways I had redeemed some of my points with 2 good books.Now I have a new account.So I want my points to be restored.

[hemant_mathur]

I'll like to have a mouse pad with Digit on it.

[Digit Patron Helpdesk]

We apologise for this and any inconvenience caused to you.

This is an online system, which does'nt accept the previous month's code.

And if we try to enter the code of previous month it get mismatched.

Warm Regards,

Digit Patron Team.

Even though, if you had not renewed your subscription your Patron id will always remain active because this program is not restricted to our subscriber's only but, it is for our new stand reader also.

To check what is wrong with your login account help me with your login id.

Is it allowed to enter the Digit Patron Code of the past few months together in the current month or are these to be entered in their respective month duration only?

[drvarunmehta]

The first part.

[jamyang312]

oh, thanks,, the first part only,, not good,, good but not worth 240 points,,

[kadal27]

Why don't you offer some worthy things as digitpatron gifts since the offers are not much useful for regular subscribers and readers like me who are purchasing most of the publications from Digit?

[Gaurav]

ya, digit should offer some really worthy things such as pen drives, games cd, optical drives etc.. etc..

[azaad_shri75]

why the help desk is not responding to my mails, fatbeing you edited my post for the code, I think you didn't notice the post just above mine, there also code is mentioned.

[ArZuNeOs]

yup guyz same here tooo

November code not working

[shreyadr]

NOV,06 CODE IS NOT WORKING FOR ME TOO.

this is happening 1st time for me in last 2 yrs., i guess if it is a mistake of Digit team, they should give us subscribers, automatic credit of 20 points


also, digit team should add more gifts in the list , i have 300+ points accumulated, but not redeemed coz don't want the digit old issues which i have already. even ice age cd too. instead team Digit could give option of subscription of future issues. i already have renewed my subscription till Jan,08. so option of further issues after Jan,08 will be a good for me. TEAM DIGIT , THINK ABOUT US TOO, i.e. loyal subscribers

[coolsun]

me too!!!, i am not able to enter november 2006 16-digit code here. what went wrong from ur side on digit patron site.... hire me to fix this problem if u can.

BTW

Digit Patron ...Fellas add some nice goodies ...since lot of us have most of ur old issues & lol the books tooo

one suggestion

Can u list out the gifts based on points ...like the gifts which require huge points at the last & the least ones at the first.....this way we can be more choosy ...rather than salvaging the entire list running to across 4-5 pages...Oh add some nice screenshots wid details...most of us had trouble of identifying which version of LOR DVD u gave away

Ur humble reader

[redhat]

I have registered to Digit Patron using my old id dar_nir@hotmail.com.
Now i have switched to my Yahoo id, and will discontinue using the hotmail id. Is it possible to transfer my digit patron points to the other id? I can prove that both are my accounts only.

[Chirag]

^^
Not possible. They shld add option to change email address.

[~It_is_Andrew~]

ps: my email- ony_thetiger@yahoo.com

Enjoy~!

[Digit Patron Helpdesk]

Hello,

In case you change your existing email id which is also your username to your Digit Patron account, you would lose all access to the account, including all the points you have garnered till date.
If you would still like to go ahead and change your email id, what you will then need to do is register afresh the new email id with the Digit Patron Program, just like you did with the previous email id. Well, basically start from scratch with a points tally of zero.

Warm Regards,
Patron Help Desk.

Hi,

We regret for this.

We request you to send the DVD, we will replaced it.

Thanking you.

[prashanttewari]

I think u should include new freebies for more points .
include something heavy :D

[SE><IE]

Give better contents please :D

[~It_is_Andrew~]

Instead of adding stuffs i see things are disappearing from that gifts list!
The books were nice also but they are not no more (in the main list), stock khatam ho gaya kya?

please add some nice things ;) old issues & goodies which were given with digit / digit subscription are no use for people who are buying digit for long as they already have them!

[aneesh kalra]

I have been reading since along time and have quite a few issues with the digit patron scheme but i did not enter the code in those months.I am regular reader of the mag, i am not a subscriber though is there any way I can get the points now if I provide the previous issues codes.

there is no way u can do that.

Hi
I am a Subscriber & my SUb no is S009748.
I have not yet rxd my Digit of Nov'06. I had sent many mails to u via ur website thinkdigit.com & also called up ur office. However I am given a reply that my copy is out for delivery from 6 Nov'06 & will be delivered in due course.
This is most amazing answer I have heard from a company who has taken adv payment & is commmited to timely delivery month on month.

[Techie_Geek]

Guys, pls pls pls add some more and meaningful gifts to the digit patron gift list

I have got about 440 points, but there's no gifts to redeem. I got the T2 DVD paying the xtra 50 rs and I hav gt all 3 DVDs of the LOTR series, so pls give us some new gifts .

Like say NFS : Carbon for 500 points, That wud be nice

[NucleusKore]

I VOTE FOR AUTOMATED PATRON CODE LOG IN FOR SUBSCRIBERS

LETS HAVE A POLL AND DECIDE

Me too. Its strange to have subscribers prove their patronage

[ax3]

do add some more DVD`s plz ........

matrix1-2-3, lotr -2-3 etc ........ & many more DVD`s ...... even Disney would DO ......

In ur NEXT UPGRADATION of GIFTS .......... ie FEB2007 ......right ! ! !

[~It_is_Andrew~]

I have been saving up points for last 2 years, but now, with this sudden withdrawal of service, have to select few of the old gifts, most of them are not really attractive!
Anyway hope to see a better program after it comes back later.
I understand this was something 'extra' so Thanks for the patron program :)

[SE><IE]

OKey, Recieved the LOTR DVD finally. But its scrached like hell. Playing in WMP or power DVD just hanged ma sys. Hence not usable. Any responces?

[Tech Geek]

What more can you expect for free????

[SE><IE]

Wass the use of a DVD if its scratched? Would have been better not to start a program like digit-patron if you gonna send useless things http://img9.echo.cx/img9/2249/angryboese0867yc.gif

[sanddy]

frnds i got d message saying" see u in **FEBRUARY-2007",what does this mean wiil there be no JANUARY 2007 issue???

[Chirag]

^^
There won't be patron code in Dec, Jan issues.

[svit_4]

:( I HAVE ONLY 60 POINTS, AND NOW U R TELLING ME THAT DIGIT PATRON IS BEING STOP. ALL THE GIFTS NEED 80 OR ABOVE POINTS. I HAD MAILED U 2-3 TIMES AT HELPDESK THAT MY CODE FOR NOVEMEBER ISSUE GAVE ME ERROR AND I WASNT ABLE TO ENTER THE CODE FOR OCTOBER.THAT MADE ME LOSE 20 POINTS.
NOW I HAVE ONLY 60 POINTS,AND U PEOPLE R TELLING ME TO REDEEM. THAT MEANS MY 60 POINTS R GOING TO BE WASTED.........:( :confused: :-?

ITS NOT FAIR....BOO HOO.....

Hi,
I got my december issue only on 14th dec. But u given 15th as last date to redeem our gifts.I think u should allow upto 31st dec. to redeem it.U have reduced the number of gift items ,this is unfair.Hope u would extend the date and gifts list.

[Kaushik]

I am a subscriber since 4-5 years. I must say that ur decision to discontinue digit patron with points lapsing is immature and just too rapid. You must give adequate time for patrons to respond to it.

You first e-mail ur subscribers telling them that their issues will be late (after 10th december, with newsstand issues arrived much earlier ) and conveniently FORGET to mention about closing plans for digit patron. And then, when i receive my issue on 16th and i open the last page, i find its all over. If i lost 360 points, it only proves digit's sick attitude towards its subscribers and nothing else. Period.

[kisorgovinda]

Dear Fatbeing,

I Have purchased Dec 2006 special after 15th instant. To my surprise I have found that all my digit patron points has lapsed by 15th when I was thinking of redeeming the points.

I am unhappy with your decision. You have not allowed adequate time before lapsing the points.

I would like to know your feeback.

[Ashishpurna Burhagohain]

To introduce myself, I am a continuous reader of the Digit magazine since 1998 under various Brand Names. Moreover I have more than 400 Digit Patron codes.

Frankly speaking, Digit Patron scheme was not at all required. But when it came to exist it was next to being useless. I never saw anything nice there as giveaways. My patron codes of about 4/5 issues were not registered due to sundry reasons.

But we were still content with that. We were content that OUR Digit is still giving something no other magazine is giving.

But this time my Respect and Self Diginity is at stake. I feel cheated and disrespected. How can Digit, which I respected so much, discontinue Digit Patron so unprofessionally, like a unbranded Company involved in some scam, disappearing overnight with my hard earned money(here my Patron codes+respect). There is no technical difficulties as far as I know to preserve the present patron points for redeeming later.

You call us patrons and behave with us like that.

I never felt is necessary to enter the Digit Forum, as I am busy elsewhere to post anything here. But today I registered at Digit Forum just to post these words of mine.

And time only until 15th December? Can something be more ridiculous than that. I bought this copy of Digit on 19th, because it reached here in my city late, atleast not until 10th. They should have atleast allowed the whole December and few more grace days.

So, I think this is my right as a loyal Digit reader to demand that Digit revoke their decision to discontinue Digit Patron or do that so that it does not look this un-professional.

With thanks and regards.

[soham]

You recieved your copy of digit on the 17th of this month! Where on earth do you live?

[coolsun]

c y
sunil

[kisorgovinda]

I don't agree with u @coolsun. Time for redeeming the points should be upto the end of January 2007.

[Ashishpurna Burhagohain]

You recieved your copy of digit on the 17th of this month! Where on earth do you live?

I live in Jorhat, Assam just like you Soham. Digit arrived late here this month. Anyway it was nice to get flammed by someone from my own city. Anyway Bye and take care.

I wrote this when i got my copy on 16th dec. I checked this thread and digit patron web page for the next two days. Then i lost my hope and mailed digit helpdesk. I didn't get a reply (No surprise here, considering the quality of customer service Digit is giving these days :( ). And today, when i check this thread again, they have given a new deadline which is already over.

I ask:

1. Why can't members of Digit patron be informed by e-mail regarding the deadline and its extension?

2. Why can't Digit give a deadline long enough for all patrons to respond ( especially those who are unable to access net everyday to check whether the BIG BOSS has been kind enough to extend the deadline)?

3. If Digit can manage to maintain a database of such a large number of forum users with all their Private messages and other information, Why is it impossible to maintain a record of previous points in the patron program? I see
a commercial interest lurking here than a technical problem.

Some may feel i am acting like beggar. But to me what matters more is transparency of such programs and involvement of consumers in decision process. And i am not fighting for myself, i am fighting for every consumer who is unaware of what he deserves...

[akkies_2000]

This is really poor on Digit's part. Not giving enough time to redeem the points. I've lost my 250+ points due to such poor decisions. I would just like to say that Digit members should not take us for granted. I'm not dying to have a terminator-2 cd, but i feel cheated today and seem like a fool, who was waiting for a nice gift in future.

All of us have other things to do in life and its not that we read the magazines the day it comes (10th dec) for a subscriber. I opened the pack yesterday to key-in the points and all I cud find was sheer disappointment and pity for Digit team for taking such a poor decision.

Damn with you and your digit patron scheme. I still cant believe you could behave like that with your reader. Bull-****.

[harikatt]

i too felt bad in losing some of my points 40, i just waited for DVD pack with all my points,, but by listening to the end of days to patron programme, i just hurry uped my selection ,,

but its not an right way ,, for ending with losing of points,,,

[kisorgovinda]

I don't agree with u @coolsun. Time for redeeming the points should be upto the end of January 2007.

The above was my earlier post @Fatbeing. It seems that u are not listening. Further, the DVD with the December Special issue is not working. Would u replace it at New Delhi?

[fran1234]

I have not received my digit patron gifts yet

When will i get
please tell

[gramesh]

Before the due date given by Digit patron team I redeemed for Munnabhai MBBS dvd (even after this I lost some points)till date I have not received it in spite of two reminders sent to Digit patron.
Anyone at Digit?

[coolsun]

customer care??!!! r u listening?

till date, i have not recd the digit patron gifts where i have encashed...

kisorgovinda,

i agreed that it is not fair to most of us, they had abrutly stop /discontinue the same all of sudden... atleast from that point of view that i was little relieved to see on site that they had extended from 16th dec which it will relapse as per noted on magazine, to 22nd dec where i had encashed...

even my december 2006 (special issue) dvd media is not reabable in most of systems... in my research, i concluded that they had taken it recorded with XP system where it stored some hidden file named thumbs.db which give some setting for preview the images stored in media. even i request the customer care for replacement, they ask me to send the same to get it replaced!!!, it seem they had gone from bad to worst.

whew!

[avinandan]

Digit Patron program was a total disappointment. Even i had to e-mail them atleast twice every time i redeem my points as my gift is almost never delivered in time.
I think that there should be automatic addition of points for subscribers.

[Chirag]

No gifts yet. :mad:

[Tech Geek]

More how many days do they need to send the gifts within India???:mad: :mad:

[thetopcyborg]

man, i had redeemed two gifts earlier and had recvd them a month after.

now i redeemed a stupid CD just to finish the points and its been a lot more than a month and still haven't recvd. my gifts....

*gives a buzzer to the digit team *

[azaad_shri75]

its nearly two months where are the gifts???????????

[Adhip007]

Same thing with me too, redeemed points for Charlie Chaplin VCD on 14 dec night still haven't received

I agree with both of d above quotes. I had two hectic months of exams. Just today I got d opportunity to leaf through January issue of Digit. Someting in forum section reminded me of digit patron and I connected to internet and tried to login and was surprised with the message that they are revamping. Why did not digit send an email to its so called patrons about it, after all they took our email ID as the username (I don't know about others, atleast mine is my email ID).
This is just underhanded stuff to deal out its patrons.
My 200+ points have gone down the drain. Why can't they have atleast retained the points? From what I have read through the read many people have lost there points like me. :mad:
Is there anyone from Digit listening?
Damn it. This was a dirty trick to play after all ur good works. :evil:

[Arsenal_Gunners]

^don't worry,the people who have redeemed their gifts before the program closed have not got their gift(like me).So It is a lose-lose situation:D

[Techie_Geek]

Well, like many, there are no signs of any gifts here as of now. So others who have missed out need not worry.

let's just be optimistic, and wait for February 14th to see what Digit has in store for us

Regarding the DIGIT DVD of December as many have posted, there was some issue with the .NET framework, cause initially i was unable to use it. But after an automatic update with Windows, the DVD worked fine.

Just run the latest Autopatcher release and see whether it works for u

[kumarmohit]

Hey, When can I expect my Digit Patron Lord of the Rings DVD ?

[rajivnedungadi]

If Digit Patron was about to start on 14th Feb, why is there no points in the feb issue?

[Tech Geek]

No idea

[dfordigit]

[╬Switch╬]

[Arsenal_Gunners]

WHERE IS THE F-16 I ORDERED IN DECEMBER??:x:x:x
Comon guys,Digit knows we haven't got our gifts(because they haven't sent one),they will send us(if they want to)no need for everybody to come and complaint about this.
NO USE

[varun_ag]

14 Feb has passed long back and no updates on DIGIT Patron. Seems DIGIT people have forgot Valentine day :)

Jokes apart, DIGIT has really lost credibility. They seem to never follow deadlines, make false promises and seems to be more like a fraud company.

First they never shipped their contest winners prizes, now no gifts for DIGIT patrons.

FRAUDS ...

[Kalyan]

Hi Digit Team..

Well.. It turns out to be most of the people here are right. You have been losing your reputation. your disc contents are growing to be boring and now, the digit patron is annoying. Did u notice? you said it was 14 Feb 2007. (or was it mistaken for 2008 or something????) till now, you havent raised the curtains nor displayed a further date. Now, we already lost 40 points for Jan and Feb issues. Are you going to add them for the next month? Would you give those 40 points to us?
You've given digitians much more than what you are giving now. Dont keep us boring. Upgrade.. Wake up guy'zzzzzzzzz....'

[redhat]

I just saw the digit patron website. It still shows that we will start the service again on Feb 14. But, on clicking close, im taken to the old DP page where I can enter the DP Code for Feb!!! Amazing! But only if there was one. Can you please tell me what is being revamped on d digit patron website?

[shyamno]

I received my Redeemed gift today..only..

[Techie_Geek]

Finally, I received my redeemed gifts today. The dual layers DVD 9 discs of Munnabhai and LOTR. But I would have expected an anamorphic 16:9 pic on the LOTR DVD, instead I got 4:3 pic !!! and indian language subtitles!!!!

Nevertheless thanks to DIGIT, for the generosity .

[dfordigit]

After such a long interval ,finally i got my redemed gifts,Munnabhai DVD & Game cd.

Digit has always done things after some more days. O.K..........Thanks........

Today (1st march2007)I checked Digit patron site, but work under progress sign board is still there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
