Airtel Xtreme Smart Box is a popular DTH service that offers a wide range of channels to its viewers. However, one common problem that users face is accidentally adding channels through the remote while navigating. This can lead to unwanted charges and a lot of inconvenience for the users. In this blog post, we will discuss how to restrict accidentally adding channels via remote in Airtel Xtreme Smart Box.

One of the simplest ways to avoid accidental channel addition is by enabling the parental control feature on your Airtel Xtreme Smart Box. This feature allows you to block the paid channels that you are not subscribed to and do not watch. Once you block these channels, you won’t be able to add them accidentally through the remote.

Another way to prevent accidental channel addition is by setting up a password lock on your Airtel Xtreme Smart Box. This will prompt you to enter a password every time you try to add a channel through the remote, ensuring that only authorized users can add channels to your subscription.

To set up a password lock, go to the settings option on your Airtel Xtreme Smart Box and select the security tab. From here, you can set a password for your box and enable the password prompt for adding channels. Once this is done, you will need to enter the password every time you try to add a channel through the remote.

In case you accidentally add a channel, you can drop it by contacting Airtel customer care through CC, Twitter or WhatsApp. However, this process can be time-consuming and may take up to a month before the channel is dropped. Alternatively, you can also use the Airtel app to instantly remove the added channel from your subscription.

In conclusion, accidental channel addition can be an inconvenience for Airtel Xtreme Smart Box users, but it can be avoided by enabling parental control or setting up a password lock. If you accidentally add a channel, you can drop it through customer care or the Airtel app. By taking these precautions, you can ensure a seamless and hassle-free viewing experience on your Airtel Xtreme Smart Box.
