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. Tata Sky Binge for OTT Content This is where Tata Sky differs in its approach, instead of going for Hybrid Set-Top Box for providing access to OTT content. Tata Sky has decided to stick with its conventional offering of the HD Set-Top Box, but for OTT content, it offers an additional service called the Tata Sky Binge which will allow the subscribers to access the required apps on their TV screens. Now, there is also a price difference in the picture which the customers should be aware of. While Tata Sky HD Set-Top Box comes for a relatively cheap price tag of Rs 1,299, the Airtel Xstream Box is available for Rs 3,999.
