By the By, Any Info , whether Airtel DTH got the approval from concerned authorities for FDI issue.... Only if its done, they will advertise.

If it has not been approved yet, I am 100% sure, It is NOT airtel DTH ad, as they dont waste mony on expectations and above that I am 99% sure the AD is for Reliance ADAG. Not sure for which Brand. May be for BIG FLIX

I already told that it is Airtel Dth ad,but Yessgee and Karthik confused that it is BigTv ad.

[*]Universal remote for both Set Top Box and TV that offers enhanced viewer convenience; finally an old-person-friendly feature - my parents will dig this!

[*]Highest Set Top Box memory enabling more interactive applications;meh
[*]Exclusivecontent such as World space Radio;hmmm but 10 channels only?

[*]Interactive applications such as iMatinee (Book cinema tickets), iTravel (Browse and book travel packages), iShop (Shop on TV for your favorite brands), iCity (Get your city's information) and Widgets (Update yourself on latest stock news). 8 screen iNews, 2 / 4 screen iSports. useless - who cares? I'd rather have an application to watch youtube.

[*]Amazing games with high quality graphics, refreshed every 6 weeksprobably silly java games. doubt they are goign to have crysis, stb version

[*]Audio gain control for uniform audio levels across all channelsthis would be beautiful!!!!!!

[*]Simple and intuitive search could they be more vague? search for what?

[*]On screen account meterok
[*]Last viewed channel in case of power disruption/switch offok
[*]Low battery indicator on the screen not exactly a big leap intechnology, but well appreciated.

low battery indicator for what? stb or remote? i needed the second last feature. i hate dish tv when it throws me to their promo channel on every booting even when the stb restarts due to power fluctuation.

For remote (may be).
SKY STB in UK displays 'low battery' indicator for remote batteries in infobar and also message popup

BTW good news about another DTH launching soon :thumbsup:

Some more information:

- iAstro: powered by StarsTell, a services from WorldPhone, a VoIP player which is a part of Times Private Treaties (screencap)
- iCity: has two components. The Maps are powered by MapUnity, and the estimations of traffic are a function of the number of mobile phones on a particular road. The other component is local business information (restaurants) and events, being powered by AskLaila. . Screencaps: Mapunity 1, Mapunity 2 , Asklaila
- iLearn: is being powered by Edurite, and developed by Infosys (screencap)
- iMatinee: powered by BookMyShow, a Web18 site
- iNet: isn’t really Internet access on the mobile, but actually widgets which you can place on your TV screen. Widgets cover sports, news, stocks, a world time clock. The data is refreshed real time. (screencap)
- iShop: powered by Indiatimes
- iTravel: travel packages are powered by MakeMyTrip. You can’t book a ticket, but you can SMS a package to a number, and MMT will call back to close the deal. (screencap)
