Airtel has added features such as YouTube, Netflix, Airtel Movies, right into the STB itself, making it easier for users to view the content they like. There are various other features as well. Let’s take a close look at how the Airtel Internet TV is changing the TV viewing experience in India.

Neatly Designed User Interface

As said earlier, the Airtel Internet TV runs Android TV OS. Unlike the current generation Airtel STB which has a cluttered UI. The channel guide has a block interface with all the channel categories displayed on the main screen. You need to connect the Dish antenna connection to watch the live TV channels.

Furthermore, if you don’t want to watch the Live TV channels, there are the options of Netflix, YouTube, and Airtel Movies. However, you should be connected to the internet to access the digital content services.

With the help of 4K Chromecast support, you can simply cast any show, movies, music and much more from your laptop, tablet or mobile phone directly onto the TV.

Voice based Remote Control is Fun

The highlight of the Airtel Internet TV is the voice-enabled remote control. This Bluetooth remote comes with a microphone built-in. The remote also comes with a touchpad as the other navigation method.
