After reading all such posts related to ADTV I have concluded that only ADTV tries to threaten its inactive users to return STBs. But Rs 100 for STB is too less may be Rs 300 or 500 would be better. ;)
Even I also got the messages from Dish TV bro.But I neglected.

IndianMascot Bro. Before you face such jhanjhat they already lured you by milking some offer :p

I am not saying that airtel collects equipment immediately after you deactivate the connection but they give you the choice to activate your connection time after time after time. If you activate your connection then fine otherwise they will ask you to return equipments to them if still not return then they block your connection just like deactivate mobile numbers after then if you even wants to activate they won't activate it and forcefully you have to purchase the new connection :beat2:

But the product will remain with me. that's the point. Because even if other DTH operators are not taking STB back, that doesn't mean they won't deactivate your services.

Do you believe that a private company threat its customers??If they do so,it will hurt their brand image and they will have to close their shops.
Do you think airtel mobile is pure white like milk :p

Now concept of airtel mobile. Years ago I purchase the airtel prepaid sim for Rs. 20 :D from airtel outlet that number starts from 98 though airtel was cheap tactics company I never like them :beat2: but because of Internet I purchase I not use them much so temporary basis couple of days after I made it active I got the message that if I recharge number will be deactive :bang: immediately after I recharge internet top up after 3 days when my validity expired number gets block when visit to outlet I ask the reason that CC lady handover a phone call with senior that guy told me number were active so they deleted from the system I said them to add it again he said it won't happen :mad: I got some :rsred:4 or :rsred:5 in the account and it all goes to vain. Whatever time I used that cheap airtel mobile I found myself guilty they become leader of Mobile industry with such cheap tactics only they having same mind set on DTH.

Following is an way to loot-

But piinku1 bro, how can they activate this without getting concerned from subscribers. That's breat of trust and guidelines as per TRAI regulations.

You can use dish for SAT hunting.

But there is difference between blocking connection and deactivating connection. Blocked connection will goes to churned rate and remain one will still maintains to the business.

There is a deactivation policy with Prepaid mobile numbers. Every Mobile operators follows it. If you don't recharge or use the number for XXX days it will be closed permanently and would be queued for new sales.

Aniruddha bro is right, i have myself experienced it from airtel digital tv. I didn't recharge my account so they used to continuosly call me with offers to recharge the account, also many IVR calls used to come. After 90 days they started threatening me that if u do not recharge then ur account will be permanently disconnected and after few days they straight forward said to me either recharge ur account or give us back ur stb, dish as its te company policy, they said u r not owner of anything and all things belong to airtel. They also said that if i do not return then they will file a legal case against me


What happened finally ? You returned or what ?
