Discussion Cheapest option to view IPL on Star Network

Free

Are you sure for airtel SIM ? FAQ says BCCI tournaments is not covered for airtel SIM users

I am a Jio or Airtel user. What videos are available to me in the premium catalogue?
Jio and Airtel users get access to live sports (Airtel users will need to purchase Sports pack to access BCCI tournaments), prime time episodes and select Indian movies for free. If you are a Jio or Airtel user, you will need a Hotstar membership to watch premium English content.

Only for Jio Free.. In Airtel it'll be blocked mostly so need subscribtion for that

I've seen a ad of Hotstar VIP in which it was shown that VIP customers will get access to all movies, shows before everyone i.e. from 6am & all Jio & airtel users are already able to see at 6am.
So, isn't sports is also free for airtel?

There are some more gossips regarding telecasting IPL 2019 by Star Group that from IPL Playoffs all matches with Pre-Post Show will also be simulcast on the followings:-
1.Star Utsav
2.Star Utsav Movies
3.Movies OK
4.Star Sports First
and only the Super FINAL on
1.Star Plus (SD + HD)
2.Star Jalsha (SD + HD)
3.Star World (DugOut Spl) (SD + HD)

Only Star Bharat (SD + HD) left as of now.

But no Final Decision have released from SIPL so let's watch till the Play Offs.

So, Airtel - Hotstar Deal is over today. So, from tomorrow we won't able to watch sports but what about TV shows??

I subscribed to both STAR SPORTS1 HD & STAR SPORTS SELECT 1 HD. After over completion I switch channel to Select 1 HD and after match resumes back to STAR SPORTS1 HD.


Couldn't bear being stormed by hundreds of ads nonstop on STAR SPORTS1 HD and Studio commentary is the worst thing that can happen to cricket broadcasting. The commentators sitting in a studio in Mumbai for a match taking place in chennai can have no idea of the electric atmosphere on the ground ,they cannot feel the crowd energy ,they have zero knowledge of what was happening on the field until & unless the camera points to that situation ,they are unaware any drama unfolding during the match ,they couldn't study the players emotions ,couldn't identify field placements & changes . They wouldn't even know if the ball hit by a batsmen will go for a boundary or straight into the hands of a fielder like us.

All of these things matter while commentating and the difference was evidently felt during the last IPL. The studio commentary lacks energy,punch and is dull among other things. And most importantly it doesn't feature Harsha Bhogle .
