What are the Basic Differences?

There is hardly anyone who would be unfamiliar with a standard HD set-top box, but what’s new in the market these days is a hybrid set-top box. Now, unlike a standard set-top box which connects to a dish and simply does the job of providing satellite channels to your TV, a hybrid set-top box is something that combines satellite channels and as well as over-the-top (OTT) content and applications. So, with a hybrid set-top box, you are not only going to get satellite channels but also you will be able to access the internet, use apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, ZEE5, Google Assistant and more on your TV. So, as by now you would have figured out, Airtel’s Xstream Box lands in the category of a hybrid set-top box.
