Presently , Airtel is having very limited choice of HD channels. Even recent India's cricket tour to England , which is covered on HD Channel, is not available to Airtel customer..this is really pathetic. When will Airtel guys offer choices to customers...!

On the contrary, IMO they have the most... they have the Star bouquet (only DTH to have it other than TS).. then NGC, Discovery, Movies Now ...

Yes, they are missing ESPN and Star Cricket in HD.. but I guess they are going to work-out a deal soon....
 
and much better than dish, as they are not providing fake HD channels

There are lots of thread of Airtel HD Channels. So why such hate thread. Each and Every DTH Operator are trying their best to provide HD Channels. So, have patience. This phase will always be there. One or the other will lead in channel, but a day will come when your operator will be leading and other will be lagging behind. And New Channels are added only after more and more customer demands. So it would be good if you keep demanding for HD Channels on their Social Media Page. :)
 
ESPN HD and Star Cricket HD cost Rs 183 Together.(Read Here)
May be thats why it has not been added in few other DTH Platforms.
 
Airtel is of the better lot perhaps, offers more or less all TRUE HD channels available now. about star cric and espn hd i am sure this channels are demanding a pound of flesh, negotiations must be going on, they will come one day.

The pricing looks quite insane, ess has now got a bad reputation for charging like hell....
 


Airtel is better lot..? it has least number of HD channels in its bouquet..as compared to others like Vzee..reliance , tata.
if others can offer HD cricket, why not airtel? how come others can afford the pound of flesh ..and not airtel ? these are lame excuses. whats point after hald cricket series is over...then airtel comes up with offer...

hahah ,,customer has to wait, because Airtel is bankrupt unable to provide HD chanels when other providers can do so..even south indian providers ahve better offerings. If airtel model works that after critical mass is available airtel will not offer HD chanels..its skewed logic. This is what happens when, some providers become too arrogant...taking customers for granted. time to call quit.

----------

but let that choice be given to customer to decide whether to buy or not..how can airtel decide..what customer shud buy. if its too pricey..some customer may not buy.bu there cud be many who wud go for it. if customers of tata and other s can buy..is it airtel customers are kangal?

----------

its always better compare with top guys and not with bottom ones..is that what Airtel is aiming to compete with guys at bototm of heap of DTH providers?
 
Get your facts right sanjayandheri.Airtel has 7 True HD Channels.Reliance has fewer than that.It has only 2 Asli Hd channels.It doesnt have even Discovery World HD.Tata Sky has 7 True HD Channels.Dish tv gives fake HD Channels.It doesnt have Asli HD and ESPN Star HD.Only Videocon has more HD channels.Dish tv will be adding its own set of HD channels later this month.No one is forcing you to taking airtel.If you dont like airtel you can always move on to other operators.Ranting here hardly makes a difference.

Do you have any Idea bro about the figures you are talking abt. Ofcourse Airtel is competing with other DTH. And bcoz of few customers interested in particular channel, no company shells out millions. For you and me its just one more HD Channel, but for Operators it takes Millions of bucks to shell out to Channels and Govt. And its not so easy that HD Channel launched and it will be telecasted on your TV. Do Not forget that its not an FTA. HD Channels are highly paid channels and even not supported by Advertisers too.

So, have Patience or keep changing operators according to their HD Content ;)

Well as customer i dont have to know business models of telecasters like airtel..who are supposed to be big guys of telecom industry. If Airtel cant offer Cricket in HD while its competitors can offer..is itself proof there is something wrong with them..not with others. I was hooked into Airtel by flashy Ads, but end result is disaster.


Like there is portability in telephone numbers - in mobile ..Govt should intervene and work towards portability , where customers can switch providers . Time to bring in some regulation to improve quality in service, content of these DTH service providers who fleece customers.
