Airtel internet tv : Does it even work?

[ViR]

Was planning to buy Airtel internet tv but with so many negative reviews on Amazon/Quora/YouTube it seems the product is still evolving . Not sure why even after two years of launch and so many feedbacks around, Airtel has not upgraded the hardware.is the user experience as smooth as a HD box? Does it really take 10 minutes to boot the box?

Yes it takes more time to boot than HD box.

Pros:
Better PQ and AQ than HD boxes
Amazing PQ of hotstar, youtube, prime video etc.,
Attractive UI.
Easily controllable by any smartphone (Airtel Smart Remote app)
Good Chromecast support

Cons:
UI lags sometimes.
Channel switching time is more than other boxes.
Booting time is more than other boxes (If power goes and resumes it takes approx 3 mins to switch ON, On normal times it atleast takes 90 secs to switch on)
