After adding 55 new channels in August, Jio has now added 25 more
channels to its live TV streaming app ‘JioTV‘ which was renamed from
‘JioPlay’ after Jio’s commercial launch. With the latest addition, Jio TV now
offers 368 live TV channels including 52 HD channels to Jio users. This time
the company has added infotainment channels like History TV and entertainment
channels like Movies Now 2 to the popular TV streaming service.
Also, it has added news channels like ABP Asmita, Magicbricks, BBC
News and Oriya channels like Suvarna HD and Suvarna Plus HD. Earlier in last
month, Jio added Zee Turner channels and popular regional channels like Mahua,
Asianet, Raj for Jio user’s.
However, the streaming TV service which offers a catch up feature
for last 7 days is currently free for all Jio users till next year but the
company may charge a premium for it thereafter. Though JioTV lacks popular
movie and English entertainment channels but we’re expecting the company will
add those channels too before launching IPTV services through superfast
Gigafiber broadband.
Recently Reliance Jio Infocomm’s user base has reportedly surpassed
24 million mark, and is growing swiftly with the addition of up to a million
users per day, as the company aims for 100 million customer mark by March 2017.
As of now Jio has 4G coverage in 18,000 cities and over 2 lakh villages,
covering over 70% of India’s population. It plans to extend the coverage to 90%
of the population by next year,
To counter Jio’s live TV streaming app Jio TV, market leader Bharti
Airtel has now partnered with Zee Group’s Ditto TV which is famous for low cost
live tv streaming service.
Though, compared to Jio’s TV streaming app, Ditto offers fewer
popular channels and most of the channels are from its parent Zee Networks, so
it wouldn’t be in great place to compete with the likes of Jio TV which offers
all popular channels even in HD quality.
Not only that Vodafone Play also offers entertainment content such
as Live TV shows, full-length movies, and music from different genres.
According to Vodafone, there are 180 live TV channels, 14000+ movies, and 1.2
million songs and videos. It comes with capabilities like plug and play of OTT
apps, DVR capability, show timings display, show start reminders, responsive
streaming of live TV channels etc. For this app, Vodafone has partnered with
streaming content players, HooQ & Hungama.
