Much of our current entertainment comes from watching television, streaming video online, or listening to music. All this can be provided by a simple device, and it is a Set-top-box (STB).
STBs in India have come a long way and now people can not only watch satellite TV through them, but also stream over-the-top (OTT) content.
There are different companies and services that offer their own set-top boxes, so how do you choose the right one for you? Read on to find out.
Tips for choosing the right Set-top-box
The first thing to consider is whether you want a regular cable box or an Android box. The STBs have been updated and become smart. You can do various things you do on your smartphone, such as browse the web, watch OTT content, play games, and more on Smart or Android STB. So it would be helpful to start by deciding whether you want a normal STB or a smart STB.
The second thing to keep in mind is your budget. Set-top boxes are now available in a variety of options. There are some very expensive ones and there are some very cheap ones too. Android STBs generally fall in the range of a bit expensive, but not too expensive. Set-top boxes such as Airtel Xstream Box, Tata Sky Binge + and others can be purchased for Rs 4,000 and less.
After deciding the type of STB you want and the budget you have, you need to decide which carrier you want to get your services from. Some of the best known Direct-to-Home (DTH) operators in India are Tata Sky, Dish TV, D2h, Airtel Digital TV and Sun Direct. Each of these operators can provide you with multiple Set-top-boxs depending on your choice.
Also, if you get multiple connections in the same house, you should consider buying a cable box from an operator who charges the minimum for a multi-TV connection.
These are some of the basic tips you can take and consider before buying a new STB.
