it looks like a bit costly!!!!
anyways lets wait!!!!!

Agree with u.
Airtel is always costly than its competitor, but good service is assured.
I am waiting for thier announcement on DTH, for Existing Airtel Telemedia Customers, like mobile,broadband.
Hope they give something special.
But for 1999, they say 74 Channels and 12 months free.:wall:
But BIG is giving more than 120 Channels with Sports for 12 Months for 2190.
No Info, whether Airtel will charge any Installation charges.
If they charge, I am sure it will be Flop show in south:@
Dont about North..:confused:
Only thing I like is 10 world space channels free with all packs.
If they give Sruthi Channel in than 10, I will sure switch to Airtel, Because I am paying more than 100 Rs for WS only for Sruthi, as I dont listen to other channels.
Its a very good attempt by Airtel.:thumbsup:
 
it would be cool if they can send me integrated bills with broadband. but i doubt it. airtel has all the divisions separated. this is done. i am taking airtel digital tv for my own use. sadly i doubt it would have delhi aaj tak a channel i want and which no dth company provides.
 
What does it mean when it says "10" under Worldspace Radio? Is that the number of channels? If so, that's not much.
 
10 decently selected channels from worldspace would be good enough. i doubt they are going to offer bbc radio or bloomberg. but jhankaar and other pop ones would be much better than AIR channels offered by zee dish tv. :)
 
It is coming HD Ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:dance:

with the current number of transponders they cannot give HD dont forget they have the least number of transponders compared to other DTH operators.

New Delhi: Telecom operator Bharti Airtel made its debut in the television space with the launch of its direct to-home (DTH) satellite television service, which will offer over 175 channels across the country from 9 October.
The service would be available to customers through 21,000 retail points including Airtel Relationship Centres in 62 cities.
“This is a right time for Airtel to enter the market the launch of Airtel digital TV is the culmination of our ‘three screens´ strategy, which is to be present across mobile phone, computer and TV screens. We are very clear at Airtel and will take over as a leader of the sector as soon as possible,” Airtel chief executive officer and managing director Manoj Kohli said.
At present there are five DTH players in the Indian market. There are 225 million households across the country and the penetration is only 3% for DTH services.
“There is a huge potential in this market. We believe that the Indian DTH segment offers immense growth potential going forward. With added benefits of Airtel’s strong brand equity and wide distribution network, we are well placed to emerge as a leading player in the segment,” he added.
Initially , the company had introduced three different packages for the North and Southern markets.
For the Northern market, the package starts from Rs2,499 and for the South, the package would start from Rs1,499.
“Depending on the language and genre of channels, the monthly tariffs would range from Rs125 to Rs424,” he informed.
The company would also offer special deals for its eight million existing mobile, broadband and other customers.
Kohli further said that the company’s DTH services would have universal remote for both set-top box (STB) that receive signal from the antenna, and the television set, besides other features such as high STB memory, exclusive interactive applications, onscreen games and more efficient battery.
“Airtel digital TV uses the MPEG4 standard with DVB S2 technology, which translates into picture clarity and consistent high quality audio for the customer,” he said, adding: “This technology also enables delivery of more complex interactive content and is High Definition ready.”
