General Discussions about Airtel Xstream AirFiber

[dino29]

Some interesting feedback about Airtel Xstream AirFiber was shared by X users.

In short, these users are wondering why two outdoor units (one for wifi and other for tv) needed and why Airtel can not invest and unify them to just one ODU similar to Jio AirFiber.

Simple Answer to it that Jio uses App (Jio TV+) or Cable TV (Jio STB via Cable TV wire) to provide Live TV Channels while Airtel uses DTH service to provide TV Channels hence Jio can easily have a unified box/outdoor equipment wherein Cable TV + Internet wires can come or simply internet wires can come and on Jio STB TV Channels can be watched via Jio TV+ App while in Airtel same is not possible at present hence DTH Outdoor Unit (Dish and its accessories) need to be installed apart from internet outdoor unit to receive both Wi Fi and TV Channels..... Soon Airtel is likely to launch IPTV / Jio TV+ like app and then DTH Outdoor Unit need will not be there for those wanting to watch TV Channels via internet itself
