AtheK Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 ya 55, just activated it. Looks so awesome. I think Airtel has everything covered now, and now better then Tata Sky. Now just give me Mtunes HD, VH1 HD and Travel XP HD, two of them are already on dish tv... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherry Jose Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I first tried using SMS, never got a reply even they have not updated this news in their website Give a call to their call center and just activate it ... Mine got activated even before i hung up the call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godspeed4476 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 activated it yest night itself, with close to 14 channels on HD now, i think i am gonna remove the other packages on the list and keep only the SD news + HD channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWC Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Received the HD set top box today! But they haven't activated it yet No footy CC says half an hour but its been 4 hours already! FML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godspeed4476 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 dont they activate it before installation or during the installation? coz i got my Airtel connection installed a few days back, and it was working instantly. Just hope that airtel comes up with a HD plan like Sky's 75rs for all channels. The current 81 rs package does not include ESPN and STAR cricket HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakhar Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I am on All Round 12M Advance@ Rs. 551.5 pm Covered for 1 year , all channels including HD. Any new channel Airtel Adds , it gets automatically added to my package. So no fuss with customer care. Plus i enjoy everything. Watched the 1st day of the AUS VS INDIA on HD and also Man Utd vs Wigan on HD. it was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godspeed4476 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 It's over priced for me. I only watch the sports, news and occasionally a few movies. I can easily go for all HD and retain my channels for SD and still stay below 250 a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sufyan Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Is it worth getting a new hd-dth service for the Ind-Aus Series? Currently on local cable and have most of the Sd channels for free Whats the cheapest monthly package just for ESPN HD and Star Cricket HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the cricket an football in SD feels like settling for dolly bindra, when there is Carmen Electra waiting to go home with u. Edit : u can get the star cricket and espn hd pack for 55 bucks a month in airtel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, i dont think so u need to have the core pack activated, not sure though. are u paying 250 to the cable guy? even with the set top box from cable guy, the clarity on the normal SD channels on dish connections is better. I had the cable connection for free, but still ditched it for the dish. just try the HD sports channels once, i gurantee you that u wont go back to SD channels.

However if you are just getting it for the HD content then u might wanna consider tata sky as well as they have more economical HD package, but no individual channel selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
