RE: Reliance Jio to launch DTH services by end of the year
Reliance Jio DTH service likely to be launched soon; plan to start at Rs 180 per month
Reliance Jio will soon make its entry into the digital satellite service. The Jio DTH set top box is reportedly ready and the company is all set to launch it in April.
Reports say that Jio DTH services can be availed using an Android setup box or Apple setup box to stream any TV channel on your TV with plans starting as low as Rs 180 per month.
The Jio DTH setup box will be powered through Jio broadband connection which will give a streaming speed up to 1 Gbps.
Reports also say that customers can expect Jio to offer 90 days of free Jio DTH service as a welcome offer promotion.
Jio’s set top box images have already leaked, amidst reports that it will have more than 300 TV channels and more than 50 HD channels.
My View: Although everyone, including this article saying its dth but ultimately it will be IPTV as they saying it will be powered by Jio Broadband connection.
Somewhere & somehow other dths are worried by this as evident by the price-fall and addition of channels in lower base packs. But imo Jio Broadband will take time to reach Tier-2 & 3 cities.
