Airtel Xstream Box

The Airtel Xstream Box allows users to access both OTT and satellite TV content as well. The users purchasing the Airtel Xstream STB receive complimentary access to Airtel Xstream Premium for one month for no additional cost. The users while making the payment also get an option to choose – ‘Hotstar VIP, ZEE5 Premium, and Xstream Premium for 1 year’ for Rs 1,699. On top of this, currently, Airtel Digital TV is offering users a coupon code ‘ADTV10’ with 10% flat discount which can be applied to their purchase of the STB.

So with the coupon code, the price of the STB will reduce from Rs 2,499 to Rs 2,249 giving users a discount of Rs 250. Along with the purchase, the users will also get a 1-year warranty on the STB worth Rs 100 for no additional cost.

However, Airtel Xstream Fiber users can get the Airtel Xstream STB effectively for Rs 1,500 which is actually refundable in the future.
