Airtel Digital TV Set-Top Box Remote — Original Replacement (Batteries Included)

A genuine-fit replacement remote for Airtel Digital TV HD and SD set-top boxes, Rs 399 (MRP Rs 699), batteries included. Fit the batteries and it works — most boxes need no pairing at all. Dispatched in 24 to 48 hours across India. A dead handset almost never means a dead set-top box.

Quick answers

Before you buy — three checks that fix most remotes

1. Fresh batteries. Not swapped from another device, not rolled between your fingers — a genuinely new pair. Weak cells produce exactly the "sometimes it works" symptom: responds from a foot away, nothing from the sofa.
2. Check the contacts. Green or white crust on the springs blocks the current. Scrape it off with a dry cloth. Costs nothing and fixes more remotes than people expect.
3. The camera test. Point the remote at your phone's front camera and press a button. A working infrared remote shows a faint purple-white flash on screen that your eye cannot see. No flash means the remote is genuinely dead — and that is when you buy this.
