Tata Sky HD Set Top Box Compared With Airtel Xstream Box

The first major difference in the how Tata Sky and Airtel Digital TV have approached OTT content is in how the two companies have decided to offer their Set-Top Boxes. While Airtel Digital TV has gone ahead and introduced a Hybrid Set-Top Box, Tata Sky continues to offer its HD Set-Top Box to the consumers. It is worth noting that a Hybrid Set-Top Box is something that lets the subscribers enjoy OTT content alongside the satellite TV channels by the amalgamation of the two things, whereas, a normal Set-Top Box is not able to pull off any such thing. Therefore, Airtel Digital TV’s Hybrid Set-Top Box, the Airtel Xstream Box will come with Android TV, and the subscribers would be able to download apps, games, access movies, TV shows and others things on the Set-Top Box itself without the requirement of any additional equipment.
