Universal Remote on Airtel IPTV

[Sushubh]

I forgot to mention it earlier. But the installation person told me that they were planning to replace the current generation remotes with universal remotes in the coming months. He sounded like it would be free replacement for customers. Let's hope he is right.

i just need a power off button for my television. that alone forces me to keep two remotes by the bed side.

great months have passed by. airtel is now highlighting the universal remote offered with its DTH service through a brand new television ad. but there is no universal remote for their IPTV customers. what a disappointment.

I recently installed Airtel's IPTV (i.e. Airtel Interactive TV) at my home.
They gave me a new remote, which has two switch off buttons, one for the STB and one for the TV which is nice. But the bad part is, even the guy installing it does not know how to use it.
If anyone can tell, it would be great.

Also, the delay in changing channels is 3-4 sec approx

Well I got my IPTV installed day before yesterday, and I got universal remote, and installation guy himself 'taught' it for using all the buttons as they should. Its working wonderfully
