At the start of this year, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) introduced new regulations for the subscribers of the DTH and Cable TV services. After the introduction of the rule which mandated the Set-Top Boxes and the digitisation of the DTH and cable TV industry, this was the biggest change that the subscribers had to go through. Millions of subscribers of DTH and cable TV services migrated to the new regime which was a thing of hassle. The subscribers had to migrate to the older pricing, and regulatory framework to the new Trai tariff regime and that involved the selection of channels again from bottom up. Now, this was a very important step in the migration of the new regime as the subscribers who were not upgrading to the new tariff regime were being shifted to the base packs or were facing disruption in services. However, with that being said, knowing how to switch up your channels is important even now for multiple reasons.

Selecting Channels for Airtel Digital TV Subscribers
Now Airtel Digital TV subscribers also have three methods by which they can change their channel selections. Firstly for the subscribers, who do not possess the technical know-how to do it would be to do it through the customer care number. The other two methods would involve changing the channels either from the Airtel Thanks self-care app or the Airtel Digital TV website. To change channels from the Airtel Digital TV website, you will have to log in to the Airtel Digital TV portal using the login details, and then you will be greeted by many options which would include channel packs, like the “Airtel Recommended Packs”. Now it is worth noting that most of the times, the channel packs are cheaply priced as compared to the a-la-carte channels, but that might not necessarily be true for the recommended packs. Instead, you can opt for the bouquet, a-la-carte channels of the broadcaster packs as well.
