Discussion Cost Saving comparsion by Jio - DTH + Broadband Vs JioFiber/AirFiber

I think best deal is to get Fiber from Jio. Thanks to it's availablity. Don't go for the JioFiber box. You will be forced to pay Rs. 200 + GST every month. You have no option to remove it once you have it. Invest one time in a firestick, mi box or best airtel xstream stick. Airtel has curated monthly plans for OTT bundle. Even Tata Play Binge app (available from Play Store) with Amazon Prime and OTT of one's choosing is Rs. 249. Or just go for Netflix for Rs. 200 instead of getting the whole package of Hungama Play, ShemarooMe, Alt Balaji, Zee5 etc.
Airtel will have much availability in more locations soon over Jio fiber with the help of LCOs, but Jio can't utilise it's cable networks for fiber expansion, relies on 5G/airfiber. Airtel have worst app namely xstream play, no direct login in Sonly liv & Sun nxt like good apps and no Zee5 without it's fiber plan.

Does 5G Standalone consume less battery as compared to NSA

Obviously... SA consumes less power and hence gives better battery backup than NSA.. and the reason is plain and basic, in SA your device will connect only one network and that will be 5G SA, whereas in NSA the device will be simultaneously connected to two networks - 5G NSA (for data) and 4G/3G for calls.. so NSA will draw more power and hence reduce battery backup.
If VoNR not enabled in SA network means still it needs 4G for calls

Sideloading App in airtelxstream set top box

Yes, side loading is possible on Xstream STB

Did you enable "install from unknown sources" from settings??
They have restricted "install from unknown sources" in settings.

But the Hotstar mod apk which is meant for phones would probably not work properly on TV

There is seperate mod app for hotstar android tv

Under the restructuring, Airtel will decouple DTH from the converged entertainment category and create two separate categories—connected homes, which will include Broadband and Converged Entertainment, and DTH.

While Connected Homes will focus on driving rapid growth and competitiveness, DTH will focus on driving world-class efficiencies and competitiveness.

Additionally, Airtel will separate Customer Experience into a standalone function under the restructuring. Shivan Bhargava will be appointed as the director of customer experience and will lead this function.
