The most exciting thing for me is Time Shift...I thought only pause and then rewind is possible...but this is freaking awesome...Now does Time Shift allow you to watch what they have already broadcasted or allows you to also play what they are yet to broadcast ? as in say can I watch all episodes of Seinfeld for the coming week in one go ?

duh. they cannot really broadcast what is coming in the future! the recording is done while the programming is being broadcasted. so any show that has been shown is now saved for future viewing for a period of 7 days.

Is it a rolling 7 day or by calendar day? As in say it's 8thFeb at 10pm. So can you access everything from 1st Feb at 10pm or 1st Feb at 00am

heh. i did not go into such details. i would look into it the next time i am watching tv. i did notice that some programming was not really cut properly. an episode of scrubs began some seconds into the show. might be an incidental glitch.ok checked right now. star world programming right now is available since.28 jan 7 am. so it's not really exact. and not really 7 days.

great. i mailed a senior airtel iptv representative with some suggestions. one of the suggestions was to have a combo package for the users of 512kbps. currently, 512kbps package users like me pay around 2200 for iptv and broadband. this is crap compared to 1100 paid by the users on 256kbps + iptv which is a combo plan. a dude replied said he would forward the message to the appropriate team. i get a call today. the person on the line asked me that i had emailed them to get my iptv plan changed. was pretty disappointing. they do not have ANY other plan for me considering i want to stick to the 512kbps plan.
