DDF Exclusive New Android TV STB from Airtel : Xstream Smart Box

[Z51333]

I think this box for OTT apps/IPTV, not for DTH services like Internet box (DTH+OTT/IPTV).

No, it has DTH.

No, it has DTH.

So, then Airtel can forcefully bundle DTH service with IPTV/broadband connections.

So, then Airtel can forcefully bundle DTH service with broadband connections.

Not forcefully, it will be left upto subscribers what they wish to opt for. Those happy with just SD box can buy simply that or existing subscribers can continue using it

Bundling is additional option, individual plans will still be available

Thanks @Z51333 for your exclusive findings always. Big round of applause for you.✌

Tata Sky Android set top box (DDF Exclusive - Tata Sky could be planning for an Android OS powered STB) as well which has been in very long time development from now. Should be around the corner too.

Can’t wait for someone to port the AirtelTV apk from it to install on my Nvidia ShieldTV

Also expecting airtel to extend "thanks" program and include digital tv subscribers in it.

It's already included for Digital TV subscribers!

These 2 r different things bhai. Thanks program benefits still not there for airtel dth subscribers. At present dth subscribers r just getting airtel tv premium membership FOC which is just a spruced up version of mobile tv services launched by them and others back in 2014 or 15.

Airtel DTH CEO had indicated that shortly coverage of thanks program will be expanded for including digital tv subscribers too in it
