I got similar call from Airtel CC lady about iMusic service. I heard all details patiently for couple of minutes.
Then I simply said I am not interested. But girl started insisting - Why sir, everybody listens to music and maybe somebody from your family may want this service. I again said do you understand meaning of "not interested" ( I admit that I was rude in my voice). Then that lady also said that if not interested then I should have said initially, and she hang up.
I complained on Twiitter about it with the number from which I got call. But they kept replying me asking my mobile number and good time to talk with me. I just replied that I don't want any calls as my number is DND.
 
So noticed another plan from airtel with a "fine print" (plans may be old but I noticed today)

Its called "My Plan" (yes now my plan is in DTH too - but as always its not my plan - actually its their plan)

airtel Digital TV Monthly Packages | DTH Packs & Prices in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai

So in this there are 2 plans

My Plan 99 - cost 99Rs and offers 117 channels
But it also says that I have to buy 2 addon packs too (yes compulsory)

Minimum for add on is 36 Rs so for 2 addons 72Rs more.

So this plan is actually THEIR PLAN 171Rs!! (mimimum payment)

My Plan 199 - cost 199Rs and offers 134 channels

This plan is straight forward and does not have above condition of 2 add-on packs.

But both above plans has additional fine print!

*There are complimentary channel in this pack given on promotional basis. Bharti Telemedia LTD. (Airtel Digital TV) has the right to remove the channels out of the pack without any notice/ refund. To know the list of complimentary channels click here

I checked the PDF file and it has almost 80-85 channels

So they can switch off those 80-85 channels anytime they want and continue to charge me 171 or 199Rs!!
