Explanation:

Two of the statements about India's advanced satellite INSAT-4A are correct.

The first statement is incorrect. INSAT-4A was indeed launched in December 2005, but it was not from New Mexico. The satellite was launched from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana, not from the United States.

The second statement is correct. The European commercial launch service provider Arianespace was associated with the launch of INSAT-4A. Arianespace is a well-known company in the field of satellite launch services and has been involved in launching various satellites for different countries and organizations.

The third statement is correct. Tata Sky, a direct broadcast satellite television provider in India, is associated with DTH (Direct-to-Home) television broadcasting services from INSAT-4A. Tata Sky uses the transponders of INSAT-4A for broadcasting its DTH services.

Therefore, statements 2 and 3 are correct.
