One of my friend got a SMS that his monthly rate will be 120 rs + taxes. He is currently subscribed to mega pack which costs upward of 320 rupees a month.

Anyone has any info on the same ?

My friend enquired with airtel people and they said they sent the SMS errornously :(
 
But what will be the scene with this new satellite thing ?

My friend asked the airtel guy and he said there is no need to change alignment of dish, only changes will be transponder side.

Also what channels can we expect to be added to mega pack of the ones listed ?

I hope they add movies now (dont care if it is not HD, but i guess Movies now is ONLY HD) :S

They will call each one of us to schedule the realignment and gradually everyone will be on new satellite. You need to realign the dish, else it's not possible.

Don't know which all channels will be added to the pack etc. but Movies Now is HD. I hope at least they give us an HD pack for reasonable amount, with all the HD channels included.

Also delguy19, did you get your dish realigned or the channels started to come automatically ?

Any update to firmware needed ?

Please clarify.

my dish was already aligned to new sat as mine was new installation
no software update yet
 
I can see those channels in the list as well, but can't view them. The dish is not re aligned yet.

@raksrules - Yes, there are 2 channels for Movies Now, the SD and the HD one. :D
 
Yes me too now getting all the new channels, but cannot view :(

I had hoped they would add some in Mega pack but forgot it it AIRTEL.....sigh :-[
 
I just had a word with the CC guy and as per him these channels have not been activated yet by Airtel. Once these channels are activated it would be added to the Ultra pack which is the Highest value pack of Airtel DTH.

Hope I don't have to pay them extra :@

Recently I had talk with a superior in Airtel DTH CC regarding my longterm pack. and He said it is possible to deactivate the older pack and reactivate a new pack according to your needs, just the balance amount you will need to pay.

when it comes to airtel its better trust when they really doing what they are saying and in my experience half of the times floor manager just stories and excuses and give nice lie just for sake of it thats all and when you ask them that thing in real they will say sorry that cannot be done
 
Do we get refund in case if someone wants to cancel his ongoing long term plan and switch to some other DTH provider?
