TheHitman Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 New UI on the Airtel HD box...looks similar to TS now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 How do i update, is it for both HD STB or only for HD-DVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have the regular STB not the DVR. It updated automatically. If you want to try updating manually, try this... Remove your adapter wire and replug While its showing "Plz Wait Initialising" press exit twice and then 2465 quickly. It should start updating...

AtheK Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 does not work, i am still on release 255 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Looks like u have the Kaonmedia STB. The update for that should be out by next week.... A few screenshots of the new UI... The best part is you can now connect your own HDD to record stuff. You will need to buy a new remote control costing 450 bucks which will have the recording controls etc. The service is not yet launched but should start soon. To watch VOD you will need atleast an 8 GB pen drive.... All images sourced from saveondish.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad2689 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 TS better add new HD channels soon and they need to improve their HD feed as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 The worst part is ads are slowly creeping into HD channels. Guess they couldn't keep it off HD forever. The ads aren't long as SD and generally do not disturb the viewing experience, but they are coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ads aren't long as SD and generally do not disturb the viewing experience, but they are coming. Bound to happen...HD channels consume a lot of bandwidth which is extremely costly. They can't recover it all from the customers. I remember Sun TV was charging something like Rs. 7000 to show IPL in HD. They said that based on their estimates they would have to charge at least that much to break even.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
