Review Now ADTV surely meets most customer demands

Since last few months we have seen a constant growth in ADTV channel count across all categories.They have added most missing ESPN HD and Star Cricket HD. In fact ADTV carries all sports channels. Two days back 9x Jhakaas n Jalwa also added. ADTV carried HBO premium channels too.
Now they carry almost all popular SD and HD channels.I feel if we leave D2H apart, ADTV package cost is also fair considering content and quality. ADTV STB's are stable and well built.S/W performs very well. They have shown a considerable improvement over the years in overall service.
There are some grey area like CC and VOD service but over all i feel ADTV meets most demands.

They carriying good channels is true, but not growth in channel count because I had seen airtel's SD count was 268 in December 2012, Now in July 2013 its 266 (without promo and ppv), 17 HD count is since long time

ESS HD already was on airtel they removed it because of contract issue, than again added

Airtel is already a Leading DTH service in India

We have got only 5 DTH operator and leading ones are Dish TV and Tata Sky capturing No.1 and No. 2 position.

As per incremental and month on month growth, d2h is leading. So, airtel seems to be in no way leading because of its costly product and services.

I fully disappointed about cost of the packages.Dish TV also having costly packages but they are having exclusive channels but ADTV highly disappointed about this.Rest of the things it is OK.

Yes, Airtel is going gud... but still cant be considered to be no.1
They have only 17 HD channels, far behind... d2h of 22, dish tv 27.

Also in SD channels, important channels still missing... 9x0, NGC Music, RTL Thrill, Travel XP, Baby Tv, and MTUNES.

As far as SD channels are concern, i am satisfied with the channels and count also.

But in HD channels Airtel is totally missing the plot and having wrong strategy of not adding HD channels.

HD channels are not on their priority list. They should add popular HD channels i.e Nat Geo Wild HD, Nat Geo Adv HD, Mtunes HD

Now dth market is growing very fast and all operators well known about this fact. 3rd and 4th phase of digitization expected 75 million to be move on digital. Now most of area i.e. Semi urban there are no strong MSO's hence this situation is more benefited to dth thats why each and every operator want to capture more market and now days people are well known, which operator providing how many channels. Tata sky run on brand name till date but they aware that now they cant so invest heavy money for mpeg4 shifting. In next 1 year every dth will get more space from sat. So these 2 years are very important.

Absolutely agree with SUNIEL . DAS is going to be completed by 2014 and by 2018 India will have 100 million digital subscriber base.

Almost all DTH operator are trying to grab the eyeball of 3rd and 4th phase of digitization. These are the areas which can contribute maximum to all DTH service providers.
