Star, Zee & Sun channels are playing from their apps is also bad, these channel change also very very bad, whereas Colors and Etv channels are playing in native mode (Jiotv+ itself) is very good quality. So, we can overcome these issues in iptv. We can watch STAR 4K channel (satellite feed) instead of hotstar's bad cricket streaming in our 4k TVs.

Guys, a gentle reminder: this thread is for Airtel IPTV discussions. Do not drive the discussion off-topic with JioTV+ discussions, otherwise we have to thread ban members whoever continue to discuss off-topics and clean up the thread.

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

So basically their cable internet was outdated technology not the iptv.

Part of the issue but not the only problem.... Recently in last 3 or 4 years Airtel upgraded its broadband cable network to support/enable more speed and various other features so as to provide new age services with best possible service experience

If Airtel brings IPTV services without NCF, without introduction of new hardware and utilizing the existing xtream boxes, then it's a good deal.

But they should allocate extra 5Mbps speed for IPTV service, so speed won't get counted. Basically providing extra 5Mbps speed for plans with iptv service.

Hack:

If IPTV starts with less than Rs.350 per month plan, or without any minimum opting price, then I do unbundle black plan, disconnect my dth and will try to opt for less than 10 channels (OR opt for selected broadcaster plan) and will reduce my monthly bill to Rs. 150/- without NCF.

Price breakdown:
At present 699 plan = (499 + 200) + 18% gst = Rs. 824 per month

After IPTV service:
499 + 18% GST = 589 , + 150 of iptv = Rs. 739 only..

Note: This IPTV can be launched by any third party once industry matured enough with good competition and quality service..

the outdated technology is cable/DTH and whatnot. Unintentionally we were futuristic 10 yrs ago, but IPTV didnt take off because of how it was implemented, over slower copper DSL and slower mediums. Nowadays, local cable operators are giving cable connections using FTTH. Fiber broadband is expanding rapidly. 5G FWA is also another medium of fast internet access. IPTV should have launched 4yrs ago but its never late. It HAS to replace DTH and traditional linear TV. All over the world, triple play is the norm, you get landline+broadband+TV over a single line and single bill. it benefits the customers a lot and also the deployment cost is less for the operators. so many smaller operators are providing triple play services already in India.

Bandwidth and network congestion plays a major role in IPTV. Just compare yourself 5G connectivity during the launch time with limited users and current condition with all users. Jio 5G was really good and have given high speed when it was available to limited users now it's terribly bad. In some areas it is working like a 4G.
Also if the prices are similar to DTH it won't become a game changer at all.

They can offer similar benefits In fiber+iptv also like fiber+DTH black plan as competetion increased in live tv with Jio, BSNL, Excitel and other triple play ISPs.
