TIC Fiber News & Updates

[mmadhankumar]

I recharged my TIC fiber today.. immediately after the recharge i used to get SMS from Playbox and Watcho about activation of the respective complimentary OTT plans.. but, today there wasn't any such messages.. i waited for few hours and called the customer care.

they said that JioHotstar is not providing their OTT app in TIC's offerings and hence they are in the process of changing the OTT plans because of which their OTT activation is bugged.. they also said that they will manually activate the plans immediately, however i will not get Hotstar for this month..

Later the packs were activated and when i checked them, it did not have the Hotstar app as part of the subscription. They also said they will try to include Hotstar in coming months and also there will be a change in the OTT bundled offering from next month..

Here the question arises whether Jiohotstar is demanding more money from the service providers to be included in their OTT offerings. And how it is going to affect the service providers and the end users. I am wondering if TIC increase the plan prices or provide OTT as a paid addon from next month..

How this is even possible? You are getting OTT via Watcho which I guess already include JioHotstar.

Hotstar was provided through Playbox TV not Watcho. Please check 1st post of this thread for the details of the Watcho pack. Probably Playbox has removed Hotstar from its offering.

Also Tataplay Binge has removed Hotstar from its Binge Packs. I guess other OTT aggregators will remove it soon as well. Probably they are demanding more money.
