Its Appreciable that we need "peace tv channel" in the Airtel Digital broadcast as we pay for it, even though it is free channel.
Its my humble request for all of broadcast service providers to provide Peace TV as it is one of devotional channels as other Bakti channel, Astha TV, Shradda TV, GOD TV, Angel TV.

Thanks regards,

M.Bhaskar.

I am planning to take Airtel Digital TV.But I will take new connection if they provice Peace TV.

Please do the needfull.

Dear Customer Care,
Its Suprising that Airtel has included all religious channel except for Islam.

Pl include QTv and Peace Tv channels in ur packages.

Dear Sir/Madam,
(Airtel Setup Box)
I have been using set up box of Airtel and in our company also we have taken corporate connection of Airtel. But i m very surprised that why you people are unable to provide the PEACE CHANNEL. Have you any problem to provide this channel. Kindly let us know. If you will do this type of things then how we customer will use your set up box. We are waiting for few months for PEACE CHANNEL. If you will be unable to provide this channel then I will change this set top box within 1 to 2 months. Now you have to think that either you will provide this service or you want to loose the customer/user.

With regards,
Hina Kauser Kabir.

The DTH providers will not provide Islamic Channels as most of them are infested with RSS and Sangh Parivar who thinks that by banning Islamic channels they can stop the spreading of truth. Dear Muslims, please boycott all DTH providers and let them know that we make a big chunk of their business. They will get to their senses when it hurts their pockets.

India's only Muslim TV channel banned on DTH service

Calicut (Sep 28, 2009) Peace TV, India's only Islamic Television channel reportedly being banned from broadcasting through DTH (Direct to Home) providers in the country. Website of Consumer Welfare Society, Delhi is swamped with complaints against the media ban. According to the response received from various DTH providers in the country, PEACE TV has been removed from their broad casting list. Cable Television Network Rule 6 (6) says a channel can't up link from or downlink into India unless it's registered with the I&B Ministry. But despite being not registered and not possessing a valid licence, the 24-hour Peace TV, popular in many Muslim pockets across India, has been operating for the last three years. Peace TV is promoted by The Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), Mumbai, a registered non -profit charitable trust which was established in 1991. The channel never had a history of airing explicit or violent content except religious talks or sessions based on comparative religious studies. The channel is guided by a medical doctor and Indian citizen, Dr. Zakir Naik, an internationally respected scholar.

Naik, however, maintained that he didn't own Peace TV. "The owner is a Dubai-based company and it applied for registration months ago. But the ministry hasn't issued it a certificate yet, " he said, refusing to divulge the identity or the contacts of Peace TV's Dubai-based "owner". Naik's Interfaith Dialogue with prominent Hindu Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on the topic ‘The Concept of God in Hinduism and Islam in the light of Sacred Scriptures’ held at Palace Grounds, Bangalore, on 21st Jan. 2006, was highly appreciated by people of both the faiths.

In the special list of the “Top 10 Spiritual Gurus of India” by Indian Express News Paper, Dr. Zakir Naik was ranked No. 3, after Baba Ramdev and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, being the only Muslim in the list. Dr. Zakir Naik appears regularly on many international T.V. Channels in more than 200 countries of the world.

Some cable operators, who earlier showed Peace TV, have stopped beaming it. Hathway, one of the major cable operators which provides services in many parts of the Mumbai city, has pulled the plug on the channel.

Hindutva fascism spread so much poison in our society by spreading hatred through media and by aligning with their favourable media czars like Rupert Murdoch. It seems to be the interests of sangh parivar groups are more behind the unofficial ban on the one and only Muslim religious TV channel in the country. On Sep 23, J Gopikrishnan of The Pioneer, a sangh favoured media, wrote an article demanding police action against DTH providers who downlink Islamic TV channles like Peace TV, ARY Q TV, TV Maldives, Saudi TV. Rupert Murdoch's Star News happily beams the stories about the evidence of existence of Ravana's air-craft repair centre in Sri Lanka, and mythology has gained more credence than science in our age, the era of the death of rationalism. Press freedom of multi-culturalism has to confront the media discourse of Hindutva at many levels. It is not absent mindedness of Atal Behari Vajpayee, who appointed three stalwarts of Hindutva as Ministers of Home, Education and Information and Broadcasting. While the Vajpayee coalition government does not have any success story, L. K. Advani, Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi and Sushma Swaraj actively, and aggressively, pursued the Hindutva agenda in these ministries.

Advani's legacy at Information and Broadcasting made 'religion' as big business in India and the recent visual media explosion has seen a flurry of “religious” TV channels take to the air, broadcasting prayers, congregations, faith messages, feel-good speeches, question and answer sessions, astrological predictions, etc.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting given permission to 454 channels for downlinking in India which includes 18 Christian evangelical channels. The evangelical TV channel of Pat Robertson, who publicly called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez also downlinked and broadcasted by India's DTH providers.

There is also flourishing media institution which can be called evangelical Hinduism. Hindu TV evangelists include living gods like Swami Ramdev, Amma, Sathya Sai Baba, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and many others. They are the Pat Robertsons and Billy Grahams of modern Hinduism.

In Nov 2008, the telecom regulatory authority of India (TRAI), in a recommendation to the Centre, has suggested that religious bodies should be barred from owning television stations or having any role in distributing them. News reports quote TRAI as saying that where permission has been given, they should be phased out slowly: “Such a rule would be in tune with the secular nature of our constitution.”

In a nation where faith is such an integral part of even governmental functions, is what we watch any business of the State? Is it a needless intrusion in our lives? An outright ‘ban’ is not the way a democracy should work. If a particular TV channel is actually fomenting and spreading hatred, that channel should be banned at once. Is it fair to ban only a channel belongs to a well respected Muslim religious scholar in a secular republic like India?

With inputs from Thejas News paper, Kozhikode,

Badly waiting for Peace TV on Airtel DTH, Otherwise I will be forced to change the Service from Airtel to other DTH who can provide Peace TV Channel

I have paid for economic sports plan and that includes peace of mind tv channel but this airtel tv doesn't provide that channel after getting payment... Along with this many other channels of which I have paid I can't see on my settop box. And fool peoplefrom customer care says that engineer will come and I will have to pay for the problem which is not caused by me. These airtel people make us fool by stopping the channels from our pack and tell us to pay again for the same channel.

sir,
we regularly see the channel of' peace of mind' at no 686 and disha satsang channel at 689. on complaint, the executive said on different dates to lodge the complaint and engineer will visit the house to rectify the error after getting Rs. 150/ as visiting charges. One executive said, "There is some technical fault, in Haryana, and would be settled within three days.what is this in so reputed Airtel services ?. Could the authorities provide the right message through mobile.

Airtel — non availability of network range

I had purchased a sim bearing number [protected] from airtel in SEPTEMBER 2007
There was a problem in the network range of my mobile in my house. There used to be no network/very less network range when I used to be in my house (KALYANINAGAR-KUMARCITY, PUNE)
I used to forward my complains to the customer care regularly but they instead blamed my handset which was in perfect working condition. I thereafter also tried with some other handsets but to no avail.
The complain was never solved.Finally I had to give up and throw away my sim card and get a new idea number
The idea of this complaint is an awareness which i want to generate in the readers.
PLEASE DO NOT BE A AIRTEL CUSTOMER.

Hi,
i am working in Satyam Computers Bangalore. Airtel is selling CUG postpaid connection for Satyam corporate. i purchased [protected]@199 lan from airtel office, JAYDEVA FLYOVER, BANGALORE and the sales guy is venkat (mob: [protected]). He took 300Rs from me and did not give Consmer slip; and promised to get the sim activatedwithin 4 hrs. Today is 14th december and SIM hasn't been activated yet.

I have been calling this guy but he always says it would be activated. Some times he says it is sim problem, next time he says it is number problem. Having been exhausted from his false promise, i raised concern in Airtel customer care on 12th decemberbut still they could not resolve my problem.

I has been my horrible experience with Airtel. Theit Sales team and Customer Care team seems to be vey pathetic

i bought airtel sim from airtel dealer situated near jyoti chowk that is can and cable from the girl named poonam she overeacted and didnt activate my sim for 72 hours im sufferinf from so many problems jst because of that girl i want strict action against her

The Airtel Customer Service is now moving towards decling side. I belive the Airtel is one of the Worst Service Provider in the market now, and now the time is here from where the company if not wake-up will loose it customers speedly.

Hell to the Company.

Dear uncle, please send a message START DND to the number 1909. It is the national Do Not Call registry. It is with the government and these private companies are anwerable to TRAI. Keep track of it using the number that you will get as reply. You can take it up to top level in TRAI.

My Airtel Prepaid Connection Number is [protected] from Orissa.. Last month while browsing a sms from 54321, Airtel TV was activated. OK. Next week I made call to 121 and requested for deactivating. They noted the complaint and assured to deactivate within 5 days. Nothing had happened. Next Saturday again my account was debited with Rs.40/- Again I called 121, and got same assurance. Again same failure and my account was debited with Rs.40 again. Third week also same scene.
What to do? whom to contact? Can I proceed again Airtel in Consumer Court. Please help My email is [protected]@rediffmail.com

Airtel — Regarding wrond deduction of call charges

dear sir,
i am having a Mobile Campus card with number +91 [protected]. i am facing problem of about wrong deduction of call charges for campus to campus numbers. so i launched a complained against Airtel last time.
i have not satisfied by the response given by Airtel. As i am facing this problem for last 3-4 months i have been complaining about this for several times but no action taken by Airtel. Whenever i call customer care at 121, i used to get false promises and they use a rough language with me.

Campus to campus charge is 10 paise/sec
any other mobile is 1 Rupee/min

So i request you to take my complaint seriously and take necessary action.

Rohan Mahajan.
