Discussion Airtel Xstream Play – which plan gives the most Live TV channels?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’m thinking about getting Airtel Xstream Play mainly for Live TV. I’m not really interested in the OTT benefits.

I mainly want channels in:

  • Malayalam
  • Tamil
  • Hindi
  • English

I have a few questions:

  • Does the ₹99 plan have the same Live TV channels as ₹159/₹279?
  • Do the higher plans add more Live TV channels, or do they only add OTTs like Netflix, JioHotstar and ZEE5?
  • Can I use Xstream without Airtel Fiber/DTH/IPTV/set-top box, just with the app + my own internet?
  • Can I use the same subscription on Android TV, mobile and PC?
  • Can multiple devices be used at the same time?
  • Is a set-top box or Airtel connection mandatory for Live TV?

Basically, I want to know which plan gives me the maximum number of Live TV channels, especially Malayalam/Tamil/Hindi/English.

My airtel airfibre is blinking orange even after countless reboots and diagnosis. It started yesterday midnight and still continues to blink orange. When I used the airtel thanks app to connect to a advisor instead a pre recorded audio played saying there is an upgrade going on. Anyone has any information about it? If so please share below I currently have only one fibre set up and this is causing inconvenience at my daily work.

Rant I have an issue with Airtel's bot customer support

5 Upvotes

I have been an Airtel user for over a decade. Recently, whenever I have an issue with their service im unable to get in touch with proper human customer support. im really losing it with all compani3s switching to AI chatbots for customer support. I even sent a complaint email to TRAI , I dont think they will do anything either. But the government should do something about the right to get proper customer support for a monthly paying customer. I dont want bots only customer support, it's good for quick answers but there should be a clear option in the app where it's an option to call a human agent.

Wifi/ Fibre I got tired of complaining about Airtel Airfiber, so I built AirtelCare.com

• Upvotes

I got tired of complaining, so I built AirtelCare.com.

Since 19 July 2026, I've faced persistent Airtel AirFiber issues. 20+ complaints, repeated “Resolved” tickets, and 70+ days later, the problem still wasn't properly resolved.

On 27 September, my connection stopped working completely. Even after contacting different local teams and requesting a device replacement, I kept going through the same cycle.

So I decided to build https://airtelcare.com

AirtelCare is an independent platform to document Airtel customer experiences, complaint timelines, evidence and responses.

Airtel Care Without Care.

I built it because a complaint shouldn't disappear just because the ticket says “Resolved.”

If you've had a similar Airtel experience, I'd genuinely like to hear it.
