@sushruta bro you've installed Airtel Xstream box but voted for No. Looks strange. Planning to get rid of it already?o_O

What's so disappointing with the box?
I have mentioned about the shortcomings of the Xstream box in my thread here & @Optimus_Prime has summed them properly in less words...No...I'm not trying to get rid of Xstream as I had to pay 4120 for the connection & it's not refundable...But If I would knew these problems earlier, I would not buy it myself & would stick with DishTV & would just add a normal android box which can play 4k files...

Supporting SD cards upto 128 GB, giving two USB ports without recording feature enabled (for now & maybe will be chargeable when that launches as per the technician) & without NTFS support (meaning only upto 4gb file readable) doesn't make sense to me atleast...Plus no 4k file support is a deal-breaker for me...Plus they gave me a normal (bad quality) LNB which is losing signal even when there is no rain...So, now I will have to pay addiitional money & buy a better LNB because AirTel CC said that even though the box was just installed only 2 days ago, they won't upgrade the LNB for free & I will have to pay the full cost of the LNB & they can't even tell which brand LNB they will give to me at like 900/-...So, I'm better off buying it myself as atleast I will know what item I'm buying...

Anyways, compromise is a vital part of life so yeah it's ok... :)
