Airtel Digital TV Review:

Package: I have purchased Value Pack (Rs.2000) of Airtel Digital TV. The information about package which I have got from the leaflet as same features as I am viewing today. It is perfectly tuned to our Indian viewers need. Airtel Relationship Centre officials told me that they will keep the price of the Value Pack (after one year @Rs.99 per month) as far as possible to bare minimum which I think our BPL (Below Poverty Line) people can buy it. Rating: 8/10

Installation: Till Today it is best professional installation of DTH have ever seen in my life. They are using best drilling tool (Hilti) with dust control and low noise reduction in the market today. They are using metal anchors for using filling up hole for future relocation. They are very much keen to install dish accurately by using magnetic base. Before starting the installation procedure, the Installation Engineer (IE) asked me for permission to start the job. Every installation procedure is allotted for one and half hours but it may take more time it necessary. Airtel Digital TV is giving you 20 meters of wire for free but you have to pay them more if your installation requires more wire. My installation was completed within 18 hours after purchasing it. They are using a special clipping of wire with an innovative idea. The recharge of installation kit coupon will be activated after 24 hours of installation by calling help line. Rating: 9/10

Manpower: The installation engineers are well dressed with Red T-shirt and Navy Blue trouser with multiple pockets. They are well trained and truly professional in their jobs. The team consists of two IEs. One is IE and another is assistant of IE. They are very much cooperative each other and helpful. If I need some queries about ADT (Airtel Digital TV), they provide me suitable answers to my queries. Rating: 9/10

Documentation: Filling up the ADT documents is very simple and user friendly. But one amazing interest is that you need to fill up your mother's maiden name in the document. So boys, we need mum and no need any more papa, just think about it. At least the number of abortion cases in India will be decreased as I hope. This innovative idea of ADT is not bad at all. So girls, you are now free and say thanks to ADT. The user manual of ADT is very user friendly and innovative. If you read the user manual thoroughly once, you can operate ADT smoothly. Rating: 9/10

Performance: The signal strength and signal quality are excellent. In my Samsung Plano 21" Flat TV, signal strength is 95% and signal quality is 100%. If you want to get my configuration, just ask ADT IE to tune your dish orient to the number 242 or 231 of signal strength. Picture quality of ADT is excellent. The sound quality is nice. ADT is providing you a Universal Remote which will ease you to operate TV and STB with it. The using of Universal Remote is very user friendly and easy. Rating: 9/10

Help Line: I am not satisfied with Help line number 1800 102 8080 as it take me more than 10 minutes to get contact. ADT should take attention in this segment as it is very much vital for their after sales service. Rating: 6/10

Overall: Rating: 8/10

Overall i can rate 10/10......they are professionals ..... thanks for the review
 
Today I got my first ever DTH connection which had to be undoubtedly Airtel or ADTV.A/V quality is terrific....and most of the finer details has been provided by sevmamra to which I agree.However, the airtel brochure said that I wont get NGC in value pack......which I got...so I am more than satisfied with the mistake or may be an add-on which they never mentioned.But I am not getting CNBC TV 18 which is mentioned in brochure....apart from that I dont think there is any reason to not to go for ADTV.I dont think any other DTH provider gives Discovery, NGC, Fox - History like channels in as low as 115bucks/mnth....Not to miss Set MAx (IPL), Star One, CNN-IBN, Sony .....although u may miss star movies, hbo if u go for value pack...but u always have option of Top-ups.ADTV rocks for me!!.....

A/V quality is terrific....and most of the finer details has been provided by sevmamra to which I agree.

However, the airtel brochure said that I wont get NGC in value pack......which I got...so I am more than satisfied with the mistake or may be an add-on which they never mentioned.
But I am not getting CNBC TV 18 which is mentioned in brochure....apart from that I dont think there is any reason to not to go for Airtel Digital TV DTH.

I dont think any other DTH provider gives Discovery, NGC, Fox - History like channels in as low as 115bucks/mnth....Not to miss Set MAx (Indian Premier League), Star One, CNN-IBN, Sony .....although u may miss star movies, hbo if u go for value pack...but u always have option of Top-ups.

Airtel Digital TV DTH rocks for me!!.....

U r getting NGC because they have shifted 2 channels NGC & NDTV Imagine from Economy to Value pack & 3 channels Colors, CNBC TV18 & B4U Music from Value to Economy Pack. Is there any option of Audio (like hindi or english)for Discovery & NGC
 
DON'T BE MISLED BY ANY OTHER REVIEWS. I HAD HIGH OPINION OF AIRTEL DTH UNTIL IT KONKED OFF 2 MONTHS AFTER INSTALL AND 5 DAYS NOW, I'M YET TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE AT AIRTEL BCOS (believe me) I CANNOT GET THROUGH TO THEIR CUSTOMER CARE EXEC ON THE PUBLISHED NUMBERS.Airtel Digital TV 1800 102 8080 is The Worst customer care service(121 never gave me issues). The number is busy through out the day and most part of the night. Even if you get through and are done entering your customer id and other info using their IVR, someone picks up and just hangs up on you. I lost ÿÿÿÿption about 5 days ago and I'm not kidding that I have tried both their toll free and tolled number a few hundred times from various phones and network. I got through the busy lines only 3 times and all 3 times they hung up on me after making me listen to the stupid Airtel music for 8 - 10 minutes.There's just no way in hell now to get this thing started without being able to get through to their customer care executive. I wish somebody 'ex‚„‹–es' them all bastards!!!They have one emaiIúÀ that just sends an automated acknowledgement email with no ticket/incident number to follow through on. 4 days now and there's been no one who got in touch.But I should give credit to their sales team. I placed order at 8.45 pm on saturday in March and the installation guys were knocking my door at 11 a next day (sunday). But that's all there's to it.DON'T EVEN TRY AIRTEL. THEY ARE AS BAD AS RELIANCE AND ONLY GETTING WORSE.

Thanks for the info.

And yes, there is an option to change audio language on few channels like Discovery, NGC, Fox, Disney
 
Individual experiences vary. I never had reason to complain against anything for the past 9 months or so. Plus, I am more than happy to have a web based payment for topping up DTH. It's so damned easy to top it up through netbanking.
 
The Picture Clarity of Airtel DTH is not upto the mark.I migrated from Tata Sky and the difference is huge on my 32' LCD.But the Audio Quality is better than TataSky.If you want quality better stick on to TataSky itself.Dont go by their ads.Have a demo before you go for airtel dth.
 
Airtel DTH has changed its base package rate (super value: 127, new value: 155, economy: 204 and then 303 and 365).Though they claim to have added extra channel. Considering the super value, they claim to have added extra channels, but i was surprised to find, some of the good channel like 9X, 9Xm etc has been been excluded.Can anyone tell what exactly they are trying to do. :huh:
