Is Airtel 4K Internet TV Worth To Buy?

[sagarkr]

its come with 2tb bro

they say it comes with USB that can be used for connecting Hard disk upto 2TB 
which  we have to buy ourselves and its definitely not included in the box. :u
and also 7999/- for Internet box + 2TB kuch zyada to nahi expect kar rahe hum airtel se?? :lol
Translation: we shud not expect airtel to do charity by giving it away with cheap prices, I mean AirTel has reputation to maintain ( of HIGH PRices) 
-if it had 2 Tb HDD believe me I would have been the 1st to jump on that ship.   :sp :sp

Will it work with any LED or we will need to buy a Smart TV?

If we need to buy a smart TV it's deal breaker for me else I am interested ..

It'll work with any TV.

Airtel Internet TV will make your TV smarter, but should you upgrade right away?

That said, I’d recommend you to wait for Jio’s much-awaited DTH service, which is likely to have similar offers and features, perhaps cost even lesser, and do a thorough comparison before making any decision. In my opinion, Airtel’s Internet TV is a noble concept but isn’t really compelling enough at the moment that would make everyone ditch their existing DTH service providers right away

If one is willing to buy for internet 4K content then he should consider buying subscription less based android box or a 4K device which can stream those with an active netflix account.

Airtel Internet TV review: The Swiss army knife of STBs

Price: Rs 4,999

Rating: ****

Specifications: Airtel Set Top Box powered by
Android TV, Bluetooth universal remote, HDMI out, composite video out, 2 x USB ports, Ethernet + WiFi, optical audio out
Intuitive interface, hybrid functionality (STB + Android TV + streaming + media player)
No built in storage for recording (use your own USB drives), subscriber card sticks out the side (big eyesore), no Amazon Prime Video yet
You may have heard of cord-cutters — people who choose to discontinue conventional DTH services in favour of streaming services like Hotstar, Netflix, Amazon Prime and so on. Cord cutters have several arguments in their favour but mostly it has to do with regular DTH services and STBs (set top boxes) not keeping up with their needs. That’s set to change with Android TV — and Airtel is the first to actually launch a STB that works as a conventional HD set top box (with recording, pause and rewind) and complete media box (complete with Android apps, web browsing, screen mirroring and USB media playback).

Airtel’s Digital TV, as its called, is a hybrid STB. You still need a dish antenna and a coaxial cable but it can connect to your home network via Ethernet or WiFi for some more interesting uses. But first, a bit about the remote control. It’s a Bluetooth remote, which means you don’t have to point it. But it also has infrared because it can take over functions from your TV’s remote. It has a microphone built in so that you can use your voice for search. Know which channel you want to watch? Just speak it out. And there’s a touchpad + D-pad for easier navigation. If you’re fighting with someone over the remote, you can also download the companion app (Airt e l Gamepad). As long as your phone is on the same network, it gives you a second remote, keyboard to enter text (such as in a web browser) and a gamepad to play games.

The interface is fairly intuitive: live TV plays in the background while a menu with TV guide, games, apps, settings, a dedicated Netflix section and Android Home appear as an overlay. You can see thumbnails of what’s playing and instantly jump to it (or record). You also have all the usual STB features of setting reminders, browsing channels by type/name/content and setting favourites. Gaming is the only area where we had complaints — the hardware is too slow to play any of the nicer games smoothly. We tried Nitro Nation, Leo’s Fortune, Asphalt 8 and Beach Buggy Racing while using the GamePad app as a controller.

Since it’s Android TV, it gives you access to a limited version of the Play Store (the apps that are compatible with a TV interface), Google Play Music , Movies & TV, Games and YouTube. We also managed to easily install Kodi — which works with any of the usual add-ons and also functions as a media player when you connect a USB drive loaded with your own content. Overall though, it’s a step in the right direction. A nice way to keep STB users engaged while giving them loads of features in one compact box.

Is the multi room option available with Airtel internet connection or STB?
