Airtel Digital TV Now Makes It Free For Existing Broadband Customers To Upgrade to XStream Box

Airtel Digital TV has announced a new scheme wherein existing subscribers would be able to get a free upgrade to the XStream set-top-box if they are also a customer of Airtel's Broadband service, Dream DTH has reported.

The eligible subscribers would thus be able to get the XStream box by paying a Rs 1,500 refundable security deposit.

Besides paying the Rs 1,500 security deposit the subscribers would need to buy a content pack of Rs 452 to activate the box. In case of a secondary connection this amount will come down to Rs 360.

Under this Rs 452 pack, the customers would be free to pick the channels of their choice. Subsequently the subscribers would have to pay a minimum of Rs 153 per month to keep the set top box active. They will be able to watch all the free channels under this amount.
