Rep Power: 12  |  Airtel digital tv As you all may have noticed that airtel dth is called airtel digital tv in all their advertisments so just thought would start this thread and also a peice of information that I have seen a table of price plans on a few blogs saying Rs30 per month or Rs40 per months for so and so package and this and that... That is just a link bait and nothing else dont fall for it. If some one has a genuine list of channels or price plans please post here but please provide the source as well and the source needs to be some reputed site (not user generate content) or airtel digital tv's official website. |

| Platinum Member  | This is exactly what I said on another post that linked to a blog claiming packages and price information. I will always wait to have an official announcement and a website presence. Anyway, what is the big rush? Packages and prices will be announced before the official launch. And packages cannot be much different that other DTH players' offers. Prices could make it interesting, however. But then again, I don't expect (pleasant) suprrises. One thing to be noted is that product launches are taking place without the supporting infrastructure beig geared up for the support. Reliance BigTV is a classic example.

Rep Power: 12 | Yeh Ive read messages saying theyve been waiting for big tv to be installed for the last 3-4 weeks and so on. Go with Dish tv or tata sky I would say and let these new entrants (with lack of infrastructure) come back to us with lower prices and better infrastructure. |

Rep Power: 2 | Multiple services on DTH In Airtel's official website on 09/10/2008 they were showing cost below silver, gold and platinum packages as 2000, 2500 and 3500 P.M. in the evening when i again loged in P.M. words were withdrawn. If P.M. stands for per month that is horrible. one more thing any idea as to whether both video and audio can go together in Airtel's platform or not. I mean when i am listening to worldspace radio is it still possible to watch television through DTH or starting of one service will restrict usage of another service. Mind it, i am paying or i will pay later or for all other services (approx 10) offered with DTH. |

Rep Power: 0 | The installation charges are included in the upfront plan charges charged for one year. Starting from Rs.2000/- plans. The 2000/- does not look impressive at all. Contains some 65-70 channels many of which are not worth it. I think with the current channel offering, Reliance BIG seems more VFM amongst all players. |

Rep Power: 2 | Airtel is still changing offers.... They everyday add some, remove some channels and bundles. Worldspace offer is one of them. I thought it was good to give worldspace with DTH.. |

Let the company settle down, understand their offers correctly, check their claims and then go for it. | |

Rep Power: 10 | Top mobile operator Bharti Airtel Ltd has tied up with Infosys Technologies to deliver its direct-to-home (DTH) television service. As part of the agreement, Infosys will provide technology products that will help Bharti to offer digital and interactive applications on its DTH TV service. |

if Reliance makes people wait 3-4 weeks for an installation, does that mean so would Airtel ? I called 18001028080 (AIRTEL DTH toll free) and got the installation done the following day 1st half.  Reliance ... does it even have a call centre for BIG TV ???  Quote:
