Hi Frnds,
Myself migrated to Airtel DTH HD+ box this new year, earlier I was using D2h, since wanted to upgrade to HD and had inputs/suggestions that Airtel is better in HD than Videocon, moved to Airtel ( I bought 46" LED Sony and even the Sony service engr told anything above 42" only go with TS or Airtel, not with others)
My review feedback (in comparison with D2h which I used earlier) as below
1. PQ /Clarity - HD channels are better, but SD channels appear dull, D2h used to be crisp sharper better PQ in SD quality
2. channel position - not user friendly, as channel arrangement ordering not sequential.D2h had a good line up
3. Remote - works fine, buttons are tight, not smooth
4. EPG - My opinion D2h had a better lay-out,catogorizing channels, airtel its poor (one eg: here channels appear as clubbed 'regional', while D2h had segregation like 'tamil'.hindi','telugu','Oriya etc
5.Setting Favourite channel - Airtel let me down here, no option of setting favourites with our own channel number, while D2h is flexible offers 4lists of 20 channels each, the beauty is we can set our own channel number from 1 to 80, for example if they provide "Times Now" at 302, we can set it as channel no:5 or so. This feature helps when we remember easy and switch to that particular channel, instead of browsing menu/etc each time
Overall, features/expectationwise, I feel D2h is better, Airtel was a overall disappointment for me. This feedback is from my own experience with both
I will upload few snaps in my next posting in a day or 2. Thanks !
