In a press release, Reliance Jio said that its JioTV+ streaming app is available on all major smart TV platforms. It features a single login for over-the-top (OTT) apps, modern guides, smart remote compatibility and personalized recommendations. Users can also browse content using language and category filters.
The JioTV+ app gives access to 800 digital TV channels across categories such as news, entertainment, sports, music, kids, business and devotion. Jio Fiber and Jio Air Fiber customers will also be able to access content from 13 popular OTT apps such as JioCinema Premium, Disney+ Hotstar, Sony LIV, Zee5 and Fancode. It also includes a Kids section, which is claimed to offer specially curated content for children.
Users can download the JioTV+ app for Android TV devices via the Google Play Store, and can also follow the same steps to get the app for TVs running on Apple TV or Amazon’s Fire OS.
JioTV+ App Eligibility
Not all Jio Fiber and Jio Air Fiber customers will be able to access the new app. It will only be available to users who subscribe to the following plans:
JioAirFiber: All plans
JioFiber Postpaid: Rs 599, Rs 899 and above
JioFiber Prepaid: Rs 999 and above
According to Reliance Jio, the JioTV+ app is available to download on Android TV, Apple TV, and Amazon Firestick TV. Support for LG OS-powered TVs will be rolled out soon.
However, those who have a Samsung TV that is not running on Android TV cannot access the app as it is not available on Samsung’s operating system. Users who do not have a smart TV will have to buy an STB as an add-on to access it.
