Bharati Airtel to launch DTH services from Oct 9

[RCuber]

I pay 280 bucks a month for 2 set top boxes with crystal clear picture and digital sound to my cablewala (Hathway).

Beat that Bharati, Reliance, Tata and Dish.

+1 , Even I use Hathway's digital service, it costs me Rs. 150/Month , quality is excellent also I lost the channel count

Hathway..heard of it..but I'm still content with TATA, although I pay Rs.340 a month

I haven't counted the number of channels, but I get all Hindi entertainment channels, all movie channels, all sports channels and all news channels. And all the tiger/elephant type channels (Discovery) too.

The quality is amazing.

No provider is even thinking of providing data services on DTH, now they are only concerned about retaining there existing customers by slashing prices.

And Airtel DigitalTV's site is not having full information about charges, locations covered. You can call their CC to check if services are available in your area.

Yes I am from Bangalore, but the deal with Rs. 150/Month has a catch .. we are very old customers and our house is the central area and most of the connections to other house goes thro house. he will have to atleast spend 5 days in relocating the connections if we ditch him .. that the reason we are paying just 150 bucks , I think the regular amount is somewhere between 300-350 with all paid channels.

BTW Hathway is not the only cable company providing STB, AFAIK CityCable also gives STB, You can check with your local cable walla, if he is a partner with CityCable or Hathway then you can avail the STB

Two features that I liked in Airtel DTH...

1) Integrated worldspace radio
2) Single remote for STB/TV

The 20% larger dish could do something good during the monsoons!
