[Resolved]  Airtel Digital TV — Non functioning HD Recorder since 12th October: customer ID [protected]

Address:Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh

This complaint is being made out of sheer disgust because of total non-responsive and casual attitude of Airtel Digital TV customer care(tel:121500).Complaint was first made on 12th Oct. HD recorder would hang .TV was interrupted and recording was not working.The recorder was changed after 2 days but it developed same trouble after one day. Recorder was again changed on 26th Oct.but developed problem next day.Since that day complaint has been lodged many times. Ref complaint IDs33462616, 33916810, 34144150. Last complaint ID is34244507 of 29thOct. Everytime I call customer care asks me to confirm my address and Pincode though this info is all available with them.I have made atleast 20 calls each lasting 10-22 minutes.After getting fed up, on 01st Nov.I insisted on speaking to a senior manager. My call was diverted to senior desk.My whole story was repeated to Senior Managers Shalini, Himanshu, Abhishek and some more.They all assure that problem will be resolved 'next' day.These are all lies so that they can get rid of me and my call. They are all culprits in this harassment.They all promise to call me back. Never once have I received call nor has the vendor ever called me as is expected of them. The vendor is totally non-committal and has been telling me that repaired recorders are all bad. Incidentally, Rs.750 have been debited to my account even though the recorder has not been replaced Today again I spoke to Senior Manager Shiv Mohan but there is no further response. I am deprived of TV viewing for a month and not liable to pay TV charges for this period. I demand most urgent action to replace the faulty recorder and action against erring and irresponsible senior managers Brig(Retd)( Amarjit Singh.

09 Nov: Since there was no response in the forenoon I called customer care (12150) at about 4.0 pm, who after checking with their vendor confirmed that set top box(HD recorder)will be replaced in the evening. I must thank Ankur from your Gurgaon office. He called at about 5.30 p.m. to confirm that a new STB is being provided. Vendor's engineer brought the supposedly new STB but it turned out to be faulty. The guy named Gauri Shankar gave the impression that they don't have a serviceable STB and all this is being done to hoodwink the customer and the consumer forum.Further, when I asked him to connect the old STB back he did that reluctantly because he knew that some setting had been changed.A few channels which were working also disappeared with error message 14.WE are without TV now and no indication as to when the STB will be changed. The vendor engineer is rude, arrogant and has been harrassing us for the last almost a month now .Perhaps expects some favour as we are at his mercy!.Please resolve my complaint tomorrow as I and my family are without TV/recorder.

Vendor's engineer brought a supposedly new STB at about 7 in the evening as was given to understand by Mr. Ankur of your Gurgaon office. This turned out be faulty. Apparently this was a ploy to get rid of the consumer forum and the engineer who brought this perhaps knew about this. Mr. Gauri hankar the vendor's engineer who has visited before also is literally harassing us, perhaps expects favours as we are at his mercy! Airtel Digital must investigate this. Further, when we requested him to connect then old faulty STB so that we could atleast watch a few channels he did some thing so the old STB is now totally non-functional. We don't have the TV now at all. Mr. Vinod, the vendor's rep. who is playing the tricks togather with Gauri Shankar refused to listen to our complaint.He has not given any time or date when the STB will be replaced and our TV viewing will start. Request you to arrange early replacement by a new STB as promised and take action against the erring vendor /engineer
