There are lots of differences between low cost HD packs & Internet TV Packs
Internet TV 380 Package contains most of the Sports & English News Channels & all Kids Channels plus Internet TV packs have free recording with all these Channels & features normal HD packs too come almost in the same price range.
I don't find it a burden since I recharge only minimum amount of Rs.150 once in 9-10 days cycle and like a normal HD Box Internet TV too subscription charged on DBR basis that's a very nice thing.
In addition recent could recording and catchup tv features given for free.
We aren't paying anything extra compared to Normal HD box and not a penny extra for Android features that's the reality.
The foremost thing that pushed me to buy Airtel Internet TV is in one HDMI slot both Android & TV can work out.If I go for other Android device like boxes or Firestick itll be really hard for me to connect another HDMI since another port is on back of the TV and wall mount completely blocked it.
