I got an offer from Airtel.

Since I am postpaid customer, I get 15% discount on new connection.

if I pick South pack worth 1750 bucks, I get 138 channels + 250 bucks discount + 3 month free subscription.

Do you guys think it's worth to get onboard.

Currently, am having local cable + STB and these days even with STB, the quality sucks. I will get 999 bucks back if I return STB and am paying 250 bucks per month as rent for cable.

What TV do u have? 32" ??? Airtel is good IMO, better than Tata Sky and DishTV and BIGtv at least.

the model number of my TV is Dell 198WFP :)

I use TV Tuner card to watch TV and am very very occasional TV viewer. 19 F1 races, 1 or two movies over the weekend and few cricket matches are on my agenda :)

Hmmmm... Airtel AFAIK has good service. Those guys are good at responding to your calls. Tata Sky is a nutjob and BIGtv is reliance(;)) while DishTV is endorsed by Shahruckh so I hate it. My friend said that DishTV was the cheapest when he got it, so I think you should check.

Nice TV though. ;)

Ha Dell198WFP is my monitor.

Any DTH just give me just all major sports channels ESPN, Star Sports (For PL), Ten Sports, Zee Sports (for CL, CC), and Sony Pix(for FA Cup), and perhaps few new channels. I need NOTHING more. :/

Tata Sky or Airtel anytime. Don't get the others!
