[Resolved]  Airtel Digital TV — Complaint against Airtel

We had installed Airtel Digital TV on 30/05/2009. After a week the screen started showing that this card is not valid. By contacting Airtel Call centre they told that Rs.100 is balance from our side. After recharging Rs.100 it was activated. After a week again i.e. 15/06/2009 again the TV screen showed that this ID card is not valid. We again called centre again they informed that we have subscribed for ESPN package and Rs.60 is pending in our account. While we had not sent any SMS for subscription. The fact is that airtel has deactivated free to air channels also. Is airtel collecting Rs.50-100 every week with the customers who had subscribed for free to air channels for one year on some pretext or other?
Why are ads given for fee-to-air channels subscriptions for one year? Can I get justice from airtel? Every time we contact airtel customer service they say "You pay this amount this time and next time it will not happen? Is this the way adopted by airtel to humiliate genuine customers and harrass them by charging them exhorbitantly evey week?

I am a genuine customer in air tel for the past 7 years. Now they are asking for the proof but the problem is that we have to gor to far off places to give the details. If they ask us to show the proof in nearby sales counters it will be helpful. Instead they are sending sms stating that the connection will be terminated. They don't know that nowadays we have so many service providers. I think air tel doesnot need genuine customers. If you terminate the next moment you lose one customer. If you really want to find the proof send your representative to the addressand verify

AIRTEL DIGITAL TV — Airtel DTH installation pending

Dear Sir,

I have procured a 32" Smasung LCD TV for which I got an Airtel digital TV activation kit free. It is written clearly on the Kit that we need to recharge the digital TV account with Rs. 500. Still, the Airtel TV dealer ( Reach Telecommunications (P) Ltd., No. M75/3, Annanagar East, Chennai-600102) has taken Rs. 750 from me saying that the tariff is revised. We have paid the money on 16.10.10, and my Customer Id is [protected].Also got a message from DTH saying that Rs. 750.00 was successful.

Till today nobody has come for commisssioning. When enquired, Airtel says that there is some problem in the kit provided by Samsung.

Why do you penalise customers for issues btween Airtel and Samsung ? It is cheating us. You people say free kit and extract Rs. 750 and then you want to say that there is some problem in the kit ? Airtel should have told the issue before recharging it.

Please reply for the follwowing queries :
1. Why was Rs. 750 collected when the kit clearly mentions Rs. 500 ?
2. As the validity marked on the kit is dated 30th November 2010, why do you say that there is an issue ?
3. If no such free scheme exists why do you cheat customers this way ? No customer would be interested to go with Airtel for any services in future.

Please try to resolve my isue immediately.

I am expecting a call in next 1 hour were I am expecting the date of commissioning the DTH TV.

Thnaks and Best regards,

AIRTEL DIGITAL TV — No action

I got this Airtel HD stb two months back.Firstly after buying the connection , the company did not installed the STB and dish as said by the executive.after repeated calls and threatening to return the connection , they told me that they dont have HD STB at the moment.I waited and finally after a week they installed it.Now for almost one month I have been writing to them about my STB complaint and calling them.but in vain.Airtel people are very busy and do not respond to customers.I suggest dont buy a Airtel digital TV.They are the worst and preety professional in fooling customers,they just call once or twice and visited once after that its stalemate/status quo.

I said that i told for economy package at the time of activation and you have record of conversation hence you can listen it then talk with we and change my package give me continue service but he has not given proper response.

AIRTEL DIGITAL TV — Non receipt of TV programmes since 22/01/11

It is disgusting to note that inspite of Complaining of non receipt of TV programs since 22/01/2011 no action has been taken by Airtel Digital services.
our adapter given by Airtel people is damaged every 6 months. Form past week, we are trying to lodge complaint. They open the complaint, and next day we get a sms saying complaint is resolved.
We also keep on getting calls, no one comes home and resolves issue.

Worst response. We are thinking of moving out from airtel digital tv.

The service is worst.

AIRTEL DIGITAL TV — NO CHANNEL WORKING

No channel is was coming since 16th March except a message saying "Error code B001". I tried to book a complaint and after two attempts my compliant was registered. On the next day after noon I got a call from a Service Engineer that he can come between 11.00 AM to 5.30 PM only. I was in Noida 30 KM away and could not reach home before 5.30 PM. On 18th March I got another call in the after noon from [protected] saying that the service is done only between 11.00 AM and 5.30 PM and reach home immediately. I took special permission and reached at 5.30 PM and no one turned up to 8.00 PM (till the time I am sending this email). We missed our programs for 2 days and I had to leave my urgent office work and sit at home for over 2 hours for nothing. Even though I made several calls, the engineer is not even picking up the phone to say that he has some problem and can not come to my house.

Today on 19th March another Service Engineer [protected] called at 11.00 AM today did not turn up in the evening as requested by me. I took special permission and reached home early and no one turned up till 6.00 PM (till the time I am sending this email). We missed our programs for 3 days and I had to leave my urgent office work and sit at home for over 3 hours for nothing. Even though I made several calls, the engineer did not pick up the phone to say that he has some problem and can not come to my house.

When every company is providing services for domestic appliances at home from 9.00 AM to 8.00 or 9.00 PM according to the convenience of the customers, why Airtel has a Service Department not caring for the customer's convenience? Airtel can not expect its working couple customers to take leave and sit at home waiting for its service engineer who never turns up at the appointed time.

Earlier when I asked for free Tamil top up (which I specifically mentioned before making the payment), I was told by customer care Mr. Ritish Jeriwal in an unfriendly manner to watch some north Indian regional programs like Punjabi, Bengali or Oriya which I can not even understand.

Further I paid Rs.2,514/- by credit card and I got 2 SMS saying that Airtel received Rs.1515/- and Rs.999/-. I was told that Rs.1,515/- is for the HD STB and Rs.999/- is for the programs. In the website I saw cash back of Rs.250/- and 5 months free subscribtions. But when I talked to customer care, I was told that I will get only one month free subscription.

You are requested to provide a customer friendly good service and get the Digital TV working at the earliest and extend the validity of free subscription by 4 months.

Airtel DTH — Airtel DTH not able to view new channels

My Customer ID: [protected].

And I also had the similar experience with Airtel, the response of Customer Service Executive is very bad. This was a service executive by name Pankaj and he put me on hold for more than 15 minutes and finally disconnected my call. And next time I could reach them out only after multiple attempts and when I asked the same to these executive they said that this time they won't disconnect. And it confirmed my presumption that they are doing willingly. I would hope we have a DTH Portability also soon and then they feel the pressure. How can they take customer granted.

If they are not ready with the services why do they send out SMSes and other messages about the new services.

Also, one more interesting thing is they are not offering a local DD channel and provide other regional channels. I am from Andhra Pradesh and would like to see Telugu DD FTA channel which is a mandatory requirement as per TRAI guidelines but they provide all other regional channel and not DD Telugu and if you ask the same the response is very bad
